About us:
We are building an engineering AGI. We founded P-1 AI with the conviction that the greatest impact of artificial intelligence will be on the built world. Our first product is Archie, an AI engineer capable of quantitative intuition over physical product domains and engineering tool use. Archie initially performs at the level of an entry-level design engineer but rapidly gets smarter and more capable. We aim to put an Archie on every engineering team at every industrial company on earth.
Our founding team includes the top minds in deep learning, model-based engineering, and industries that are our customers. We closed a $23 million seed round led by Radical Ventures that includes a number of other AI and industrial luminaries (from OpenAI, DeepMind, etc.).
In summary:
we are on a mission
multiple hats is the norm
no politics, low bureaucracy
fast, data-driven decision-making; velocity and agility are everything
believe in manifesting the future of physical engineering
About the role:
We are a small team tackling an ambitious problem. If we are successful, it will change the course of history. As such we have a very high talent bar and are looking for people who have done something remarkable. This is a generalist role for a SWE heavyweight that will need to tackle the full gamut of engineering challenges: architecture, front-end, back-end, full-stack, infrastructure, etc. with a wide assortment of tools. We don’t care if you’ve done it before. We just need you to be brilliant, mission-driven, and thirsty to learn.
This role can be either remote (based in US or Canada and with existing work authorization) or based in our San Mateo office. If you are remote, you should plan to spend one week out of six co-working with the rest of the company in our San Mateo office. We will support relocation for candidates interested in moving to the Bay Area.
Compensation:
$200k - $250k.. for now. This role includes a significant equity component. We are an early-stage startup, so we favor equity over cash in our current compensation philosophy. You should too, or an early-stage startup might not be for you. That said, we expect cash compensation to progress quickly as the company matures.
Our benefits include healthcare, dental, and vision insurance, 401k with employer matching, unlimited PTO, and meaningful equity. We also get a friends & family discount from the cosmetic surgeon who is our SF Bay Area office landlord.
Interview process:
Initial screening call (30 mins)
Biographical/behavioral interview (45 mins)
Technical programming interview (60 mins)
