About the role

Exa is an applied AI lab building a novel search engine. As a backend engineer, you will play a critical role in our search architecture and scale ML systems to crawl and index the web. We seek candidates with graduate ML experience and a track record in PyTorch; you should thrive on large-scale datasets, data supervision, and tackling problems where ground truth evolves. This is a highly technical role with room to explore exciting research-driven projects.

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.
