- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2025-10-24

## Job description

## ABOUT SYMMETRY

We’re solving one of the biggest challenges in modern AI workflows: fragmented context. Today, project knowledge is scattered across conversations, tools, and docs—forcing teams to spend more time steering AI than actually getting work done.

Symmetry brings context, continuity, and observability to AI-powered work, enabling teams to ship faster, work smarter, and maximize productivity across their existing AI stack.

We’re a fast-moving, early-stage team with a proven track record of building and scaling successful AI businesses. Freshly funded and growing, we’re looking for builders who want to help define the next frontier of human–AI collaboration.

## ROLE SUMMARY

You’ll own the 0→1 systems behind Symmetry’s Intelligence Layer—building the knowledge extraction, mapping, and retrieval systems that transform AI-native work.

This means experimenting with how to extract, represent, and retrieve knowledge from thousands of conversations—and turning those experiments into working systems that power real user experiences across our API and user-facing features/products.

If you’re excited by turning product ideas into working LLM systems and iterating through research, data, and prototypes to find what works, you’ll thrive here.

## WHAT YOU’LL BUILD

- Core AI systems that extract and organize knowledge from AI conversations into structured, reusable context.
- Retrieval and memory infrastructure (GraphRAG + vector search) that delivers precise, low-latency context to user workflows.
- Agentic systems that reason across stored context—handling retrieval, synthesis, and evaluation tasks autonomously.
- Prompt and orchestration frameworks that connect multiple models, tools, and data sources into end-to-end reasoning pipelines.
- Evaluation and telemetry systems to benchmark retrieval quality, latency, and overall intelligence performance.
- Fast prototypes to explore new product directions and validate user-facing capabilities.

## SKILLS WE’RE LOOKING FOR

- Strong Python engineering fundamentals—skilled in building performant, maintainable systems and services that connect data, models, and APIs.
- Deep understanding of retrieval architectures—embeddings, vector databases, hybrid or graph-based search, and caching strategies.
- Experience with LLM orchestration frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom-built agent systems.
- Proven ability to build and tune LLM-based agents for reasoning, synthesis, or evaluation tasks.
- Familiarity with prompt engineering and multi-step reasoning—designing structured flows that balance quality, latency, and cost.
- Exposure to fine-tuning or adapter training (LoRA, PEFT) and how to integrate tuned models into retrieval pipelines.
- Ability to work end-to-end—backend (FastAPI, Node) to quick front-end demos or dashboards for testing and iteration.
- Comfort operating in open-ended problem spaces, defining your own experiments, and driving them to working outcomes.

If you thrive on autonomy, clarity, and collaboration and want to build the connective tissue between humans and AI systems, Symmetry is where you’ll do your best work.

## About Symmetry AI

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Technology, Information and Internet – AI-powered productivity and automation
- **Target Customers**: B2B – knowledge workers, teams, and enterprises using multiple AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Cursor, Gemini, etc.)
- **Mission / Purpose**: To redefine how humans and AI collaborate by providing a connected, context-aware system that makes AI genuinely useful across every tool.

## Products & Services
- **[Symmetry AI Platform](https://www.getsymmetry.com)**: An AI-native productivity platform that captures prompts and responses from various AI tools, maps them into a project knowledge graph, injects relevant context into new prompts, and executes agentic workflows. Offered as a SaaS service (currently in beta).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding not publicly available; headcount is 2 employees as of mid-2026 (LinkedIn data) with +25% monthly growth in workforce.
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: Not disclosed; uses AI service providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud AI, Hugging Face, Microsoft Azure AI, and xAI.
- **Growth Signals**: Early-stage startup with active hiring (3 open roles as of July 2026); LinkedIn followers growing (+1.2% monthly); product in beta with 33 monthly website visits (likely early traction).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Unified Context Layer**: Captures and connects fragmented AI conversations across multiple tools into a single knowledge graph, enabling continuity and deeper project understanding.
- **Privacy-First Design**: Customer data (prompts, outputs, project activity) is not used to train models for other users or shared training pipelines – a differentiator for enterprise adoption.
- **Agentic Workflows**: Can execute multi-step tasks autonomously with full context, going beyond simple prompt injection.
- **Experienced Founding Team**: Repeat founders and engineers who have previously built and scaled AI businesses.

## Strategic Focus
- **Product Development**: Building the "context OS" for AI-native work, focusing on deep knowledge representation, cross-tool integration, and autonomous task execution.
- **Hiring**: Currently recruiting an Applied AI Engineer (Seattle, on-site) and two Senior Full Stack Engineers (one Seattle on-site, one India remote). High ownership and early impact are emphasized.
- **Go-to-Market**: Still in beta; likely targeting power users and early adopter teams before broader enterprise rollout.

## Why Work Here
- **Early Team, High Ownership**: Join a small founding team (currently 2 employees) and take ownership of critical systems from day one.
- **Hard Problems**: Work on foundational challenges in knowledge representation, context management, and AI reasoning.
- **Experienced Peers**: Collaborate with repeat founders and engineers who have scaled AI businesses before.
- **Culture**: On-site in Seattle HQ for most roles; remote option for India-based position. Focus on speed, clarity, and defining the next era of AI-powered work.
- **Perks**: Not explicitly listed, but the company emphasizes meaningful problem-solving and the chance to shape the product’s direction.
