Realm builds AI for the mining industry. We integrate with existing mine infrastructure — cameras, SCADA systems, drones, and data repositories — to predict equipment failures, detect unsafe behaviors, and optimize operations. Our platform deploys intelligence in various ways to improve productivity and safety — monitoring PPE compliance via computer vision, optimizing froth flotation processes, analyzing longwall shearer performance, tracking MSHA citation patterns, and more.
Our founders started their careers at Palantir before going on to build Blend Labs (publicly traded fintech, founded as CTO) and Even (acquired by Walmart). Our leadership team brings experience from Uber, Metropolis, and other high-bar organizations. We're a small, senior team that ships daily to production mines.
AI isn't just our product — it's how we build. We're an AI-first engineering team that uses the latest models and tooling throughout our development process, moving faster and at higher quality than traditional teams our size.
Our culture values high agency, deep ownership, collaboration, and autonomy across a fully remote workforce. Teams here move quickly and make meaningful contributions to a product that shapes global industrial outcomes.
What You'll Do
You'll work alongside senior engineers on real features that run at active mine sites — not internal tooling or throwaway projects. We expect new grads here to ramp quickly and take on meaningful ownership within their first few months.

Interview Process
Engineering quiz (async, ~60 min) — A 10-question code reading and analysis assessment. You pick your language (TypeScript, Python, Go, or C++) and answer questions covering code comprehension, bug detection, performance analysis, and system design. No trick questions — we're testing how you think about real code.
Live coding interviews (3 x 1-hour sessions) — Algorithmic problem solving and a simulated development tasks.
Behavioral interview with senior leadership — Culture fit, working style, and past experience.

What We Do
Realm is an AI-driven platform that delivers significant cost savings for industrial operations. By preventing 80% of failures before they happen, Realm maximizes uptime, potentially saving millions in lost revenue. Built on the latest advances in AI, Realm integrates with your existing cameras, sensors, and control systems to automatically detect and predict equipment failures, flag unsafe and suspicious behavior, automate response actions like shut-offs, and immediately notify and dispatch key personnel. Realm also augments your existing monitoring infrastructure with edge AI devices and drones for comprehensive, customizable event detection in low-connectivity and unmonitored areas (large-scale infrastructure, vehicles, etc.). Realm has a proven track record with clients in gold, gemstones, coal, and oil & gas operations across Africa, Latin America, and the United States.
