Exa is building a search engine from scratch to serve every AI application. We build massive-scale infrastructure to crawl the web, train state-of-the-art embedding models to index it, and develop super high performant vector databases in Rust to search over it. We also own a $5M H200 GPU cluster that regularly lights up tens of thousands of machines.
Our Agentic Search Team is building high-compute search to handle the most complex searches. These searches might run for minutes, hours, or even days. We're pretty flexible on what projects people work on based on their skills and interests.
Desired Experience
You can whip up React/Node projects in no time
You have extensive prompt engineering experience, or would be excited to ramp up very quickly
You're excited to wear many hats (sales, marketing, backend, frontend, etc)
You care about the problem of finding high quality information and recognize how important this is for the world
Example Projects
Create an Exa Chat frontend where you chat with Exa results
Build agentic orchestration pipelines that could run for a whole day
Make our web crawler 3x faster
This is an in-person opportunity in San Francisco. We're happy to sponsor international candidates (e.g., STEM OPT, OPT, H1B, O1, E3).

What We Do
Exa was built with a simple goal — to organize all knowledge. After several years of heads-down research, we developed novel representation learning techniques and crawling infrastructure so that LLMs can intelligently find relevant information.
