About the role
Perplexity is seeking energetic engineers to join our Agent Engine team, building frontier AI experiences including Perplexity Computer, the Comet ecosystem, and our Agent API. You will solve open problems in AI, contribute across engineering and applied research, and ship product experiences that surprise users. Ideal candidates bring solid AI foundations, strong Python skills, and a love for UX-driven, ownership-minded development within a small, fast-moving team.
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.
