About PubNub

PubNub is a San Francisco–based product company powering real-time experiences including chat, live updates, and interactive applications for 2,000+ companies including Verizon, Autodesk, Zillow, and Dropbox.

Our global data network processes trillions of messages each month with sub-100 ms latency across 15+ data centers worldwide.

Build & operate AI services at scale

Design low-latency inference pipelines for high-throughput message streams.Implement model routing, prompt and retrieval patterns (RAG), caching, batching, and fallbacks.You’ll solve real-world constraints around latency, scale, and cost.

Enable other teams

Build internal frameworks, APIs/SDKs, and tooling so other teams can ship AI features safely and consistently.Partner with product and engineering on trade-offs between latency, cost, accuracy, and privacy.Clear documentation and great developer experience matter here.

Tech & Communication

Work mainly with TypeScript, Python, or Rust (and be open to learning the others).Use modern AI-assisted tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc.).Communicate clearly in English.
