About the role

Exa is an applied AI lab building a groundbreaking search engine and massive-scale infrastructure. We are seeking a backend engineer with strong ML background to advance parsing, page quality assessment, and credible content modeling at scale. You will work on transformer-based models, supervision signals, and data-driven evaluation to push the boundaries of web understanding across languages and domains.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
