О компании
- We raised a $250M Series C to build the search engine for AIs. Led by a16z, with existing investors Benchmark, Lightspeed, and YC doubling down, the round brings 's valuation to $2.2 billion.
- is building a search engine for the AI era. Our Search API currently powers Agents, Fortune 500s, and AI labs as we transform an industry that hasn't been disrupted since the 90s. We're a largely SF-based team of ~100 from Harvard, MIT, Meta, Google Research, ex-founders, and dropouts alike.
- We are rapidly building the most intelligent search engine in history. We're high agency, low-ego, and united by the feeling that this is one of the last problems worth getting right.
Обязанности
- Solutions Architects are the technical tip of the spear in 's presales motion. From the first call to the technical win, you're the person who shows prospects what can do and proves it works for their use case.

When a deal needs specialist depth, you pull in our Forward Deployed Engineers. When a deal closes, you hand the customer off to them with everything they need to get to production fast. This is not a demo-only role. You are an engineer who sells.
