About the Role

Inflection AI is looking for outstanding Product Engineers to own and lead the development of the next wave of capabilities for our personalized AI assistant, Pi. The right candidate will have a balance of creativity, curiosity, technical expertise, and ability to drive challenging projects to successful completion. We’re looking for engineers who can work collaboratively with our Designer, Product Managers, and AI Researchers to take ambiguous projects and mold them into amazing experiences that delight and help Pi’s users. This role is specifically focused on UI development and the ideal candidate will have a passion for building pixel perfect UIs across platforms and the track record to support it.

This is a good role for you if you:

• Care deeply about building outstanding consumer-grade applications
• Show up to work every day with energy and enthusiasm to take on challenges that have never been solved before
• Like working in a fast-paced environment and getting your work into the hands of users quickly and iteratively

We do not require a specific university degree or years of experience. Instead we’re excited to see what you’ve been building. Please send us examples of your best work, including but not limited to links to open source contributions, personal projects or a cover letter describing past projects that you are proud of.

We work on a 6 week cycle. Every 7th week, we convene together in person as a company to brainstorm, bond and build. 

How We Work

We value excellence and ownership. Our organizational structure focuses on individual responsibilities rather than management hierarchies. Everyone is expected to lead by doing. We are big believers in the unreasonable effectiveness of highly talented Individual Contributors who are given all the resources, space and ownership to move fast and deliver outstanding results.
