New York, United States Pegasi AI Full time

Company Description

Pegasi solves the critical gap between AI prototypes and enterprise-ready solutions. While most generative AI remains experimental, we enable Fortune 500 companies to confidently deploy production-grade AI systems. Our elite team brings together cutting-edge research experience and advanced degrees from Oxford and CMU, combined with years of deploying AI models in regulated environments at BCG, Capital One, and Intuit. Based in NYC, we're working and partnered with F500s and backed by top VCs.


Role Description

We're seeking a Founding AI Engineer to build the core infrastructure that transforms experimental AI into production-ready systems. You'll work across our entire stack, with strong opportunities for growth.


Your responsibilities will touch most parts of the company and will involve closely supporting across a range of areas, including but not limited to:


  • Architect and implement production ML systems, from research paper implementation to deployment
  • Devise and implement alignment techniques for improving LLMs
  • Optimize model inference and deployment pipelines for enterprise-grade performance
  • Build robust data collection pipelines and fine-tuning workflows for deep neural networks
  • Drive technical decisions that shape our product strategy and roadmap
  • Work directly with customers to understand their needs and deliver solutions
  • Establish engineering best practices and help build our technical culture


Qualifications

  • Strong full-stack engineering background with production experience
  • Expertise in ML engineering and modern AI frameworks
  • Proficiency in Rust/Go for backend systems, Python for our SDK, and TypeScript for frontend development
  • Experience optimizing and deploying ML models at scale
  • Experience working for a startup
  • Bonus: PhD or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, AI, Math, Physics, or related field
  • Bonus: Applied AI experience working with PyTorch and implementing papers
  • Bonus: Based in New York and excited to work closely with the founding team


What We Offer:

  • Competitive compensation package (salary, equity, benefits) reflective of a founding member's contribution
  • Unlimited growth opportunities to learn and grow into your own role, working on some of the most technically challenging problems of Generative AI
  • A driver's seat to building with a world-class startup founder backed by top VCs


Our startup recruits, employs, trains, compensates and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, disability, age, veteran status, and other protected statuses as required by applicable law.


Our dedication to promoting diversity, multiculturalism, equity and inclusion is more than a commitment - it is the foundation of what we do. And thus we strongly encourage people from ALL backgrounds to apply for this position.


Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an Employment Visa at this time.
