Job Description Job Description Don't see a role that fits your profile? Reach out anyway! About Encord At Encord, we're building the AI infrastructure of the future. One of the biggest challenges AI companies face today is data quality. The success of any AI application relies heavily on the quality of its training data, yet for most teams, this crucial step is both the most costly and time-consuming. We’re here to change that. As former computer scientists, physicists, and quants, we’ve experienced firsthand how a lack of tools to prepare quality training data impedes progress in building AI. We believe AI is at a stage similar to the early days of computing or the internet—where the potential is clear, but the surrounding tools and processes are still catching up. That's why we started Encord. We are a talented and ambitious team of 100, working at the cutting edge of computer vision and deep learning. Backed by $30M in Series B funding from top investors like CRV and Y Combinator, we’re one of the fastest-growing companies in our space. We have big plans ahead and are looking to expand our Engineering team to help us in building a better product for our customers. About you & the Role - You're an entrepreneur and you want to be a part of building an early-stage business. You might have built and scaled a company before, and are eager to get back to the early-days of 0 to 1. Or you might have started and exited your business and you're now eager to experience the journey again. - You may not have any AI / B2B experience but you will have excelled at something incredibly challenging that demonstrates your grit and ability to overachieve. What We Offer - Competitive salary and equity in a hyper growth startup. - Real opportunities to grow. We’re growing insanely fast and you’ll have all the opportunities for growth that you can handle. - Strong in person culture. We're 3-5 days a week in our newly-launched loft office in North Beach. - Flexible PTO to recharge. - Annual learning and development budget. - 18 paid vacation days federal holidays. - Lots of opportunities for travel (all around the US, to London & Europe). - Bi-annual off-sites and monthly socials. - Health, dental and vision insurance. Encord offers a unique opportunity to be part of a startup with a clear mission and vision. You will get to explore and build services enterprise AI use cases across many different industry verticals such as healthcare, surveillance, retail, agriculture, and many more. Our work is at the cutting edge of computer vision and deep learning, which also includes working on solving unsolved problems within those fields.
