Exa
Exa is building a search engine from scratch to serve every AI application. We build massive-scale infrastructure to crawl the web, train state-of-the-art embedding models to index it, and develop super high performant vector databases in Rust to search over it. We also own a $5m H200 GPU cluster and routinely run batchjobs with tens of thousands of machines. This isn't your average startup :)
As a backend engineer, you'd play a critical role in our backend system. We're pretty flexible on what projects people work on based on their skills and interests.
Desired Experience
You have experience with some high performance language (C++, Rust, etc.) You’re comfortable optimizing a system to an exceptional degree You care about the problem of finding high quality information and recognize how important this is for the world Example Projects
Recreate Google-level keyword search over 10 billion pages in 1 month Build a state-of-the-art crawling system that works optimally for any website Build a custom vector database that runs over a billion vectors in under 100ms This is an in-person opportunity in San Francisco. We're happy to sponsor international candidates (e.g., STEM OPT, OPT, H1B, O1, E3).
