## Job description

Netic is the AI revenue engine for essential services who are the backbone of the American economy. With $43M in funding from Founders Fund, Greylock, Hanabi, and Dylan Field who led our Series B, we helped our customers book hundreds of thousands of jobs across services industries in North America. There are now companies operating entirely AI-first on Netic.

You’ll join our team with relentless builders from Scale, Databricks, HRT, Meta, MIT, Stanford, and Harvard in bringing frontier AI to the physical economy, where the problems are hard, the data is complex, and the impact is immediate and tangible.

Our Forward Deployed Engineers are at the heart of building AI that transforms how essential service businesses operate. This role combines cutting-edge AI development with real-world impact, creating systems that handle complex business operations autonomously.

We need to hire multiple FDEs to join our team for a 12-week internship that are available to start between winter of 2026 and summer of 2027. If you can start earlier - even better.

What You’ll Do:

- Architect agents: Build and ship multi-modal AI agents that drive business impact for essential service companies.
- Co‑build with customers: Work directly with enterprise stakeholders to map workflows and deploy our product to unlock immediate revenue lift.
- Own end‑to‑end lifecycle: Manage everything from design, to implementation, to rollout, including deployment, measuring success, and iterating with customers.
- Ensure scalability: Build reliable systems that support thousands of concurrent interactions with strong performance.
- Run rapid experiments: Evaluate cutting‑edge text/voice models, fine‑tune, live A/B test, and iterate within tight feedback loops.
- Elevate the platform: Surface patterns and opportunities across customers to inform product and engineering roadmaps.

What You’ll Bring:

- Production systems: Experience building and maintaining production systems using Python (asyncio, FastAPI) and TypeScript (Node, React).
- AI systems: Hands-on experience with LLM, TTS and speech APIs, fine-tuning models, vector databases, RAG, and evaluation frameworks.
- Performance focus: Ability to meet SLAs, resolve issues, and optimize systems for speed and reliability at scale.
- Scale mindset: Experience building production monitoring and debugging systems across cloud infrastructure and databases.
- Customer obsession: Comfortable engaging directly with customers to troubleshoot issues, understand edge cases, and deliver fast solutions.

What brings us together is our commitment to:

- Live to build
- Run through walls and win
- Obsess over customers in each line of code
- Lose sleep over the "almost perfect"
- Show internal locus of control
- Prioritize finesse: refinement of first principles thinking, execution, and craftsmanship

We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability or any other legally protected status.

## About Netic

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Netic provides an AI-powered revenue engine that autonomously handles customer demand, generates growth, and optimizes every touchpoint for essential service enterprises.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed

## Core Business
- **Primary industries**: AI/Software for essential service industries including home services (plumbing, HVAC, roofing, pest control), veterinary, automotive, and consumer health.
- **Target customers**: B2B – large service enterprises in industries often omitted from the AI wave (e.g., plumbing, electrical, veterinary chains, roofing companies).
- **Mission/purpose**: “Help essential service industries grow on autopilot” by bringing production-grade, end-to-end AI workflows to the backbone of the economy.

## Products & Services
- **The AI Revenue Engine**: A multi-channel platform that combines three core engines:
  - **Convert**: AI agents autonomously book jobs across calls, text, web-chat, online widgets, and third-party platforms, following operational rules to handle 100% of demand.
  - **Cultivate**: Proactively identifies upsell opportunities, launches targeted engagement campaigns for memberships or service upgrades, and increases customer lifetime value.
  - **Empower**: Transforms raw data from customer interactions into actionable business intelligence for strategic decision-making.
- **Type**: SaaS platform with AI agents for speech, text, and data processing.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company).
- **Key Metric**: **Total Funding** – $23.0M (Series B round raised in November 2025, led by Founders Fund).
- **Notable Investors & Partners**: Founders Fund, Greylock; angel investors include Mike Volpi (GP, Hanabi Capital), Alexandr Wang (CEO, Scale AI), Dylan Field (CEO, Figma), Elad Gil.
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Featured in a WSJ exclusive article (June 2025) on AI transforming home services.
  - Reported $36.31M in revenue generated year-to-date via the platform, with 11,214 jobs autonomously booked and 4,360 jobs won via outbound campaigns.
  - Active hiring across 14 open positions (engineering, product, GTM, design).
  - 3,823 LinkedIn followers and growing presence in essential industries.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Production-grade AI for real-world constraints**: Unlike many AI copilots, Netic builds autonomous agents that execute end-to-end workflows across speech, text, and data, handling complex enterprise constraints and edge cases.
- **Focus on underserved essential industries**: Home services, automotive, and consumer health have been largely overlooked by frontier tech, giving Netic a first-mover advantage in a large, fragmented market.
- **Strong investor backing**: Backed by top-tier investors and visionary founders from Scale AI, Figma, and Greylock, providing both capital and strategic network.
- **Proven revenue outcomes**: The platform has already autonomously handled millions in revenue for clients, demonstrating tangible ROI.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale across essential industries**: Continue to expand the AI Revenue Engine to new verticals (veterinary, pest control, roofing, consumer health) and deepen penetration in home services.
- **Continue building a world-class team**: Actively hiring for technical roles (machine learning engineers, agent infrastructure, product engineers) and GTM roles (SDRs, growth managers, deployment strategists).
- **Push frontier AI into the real world**: Develop multimodal, real-time AI systems that go beyond copilots to run complete business functions – a focus on “building production-grade AI that executes end-to-end workflows.”

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & philosophy**: Netic describes itself as a team of “relentless builders, ex-founders, and immigrants from top CS schools and tech companies who thrive on solving hard problems.” Cultural values include “live to build,” “run through walls and win,” “obsess over customers in each line of code,” and “prioritize finesse.”
- **Work location**: HQ in San Francisco (3661 Buchanan St, Fl 4). Most roles appear to be on-site in SF; no explicit remote/hybrid policy stated in available data.
- **Engineering culture**: Strong bias toward building production-grade, end-to-end AI. Roles like Applied AI Research Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, and Forward Deployed Agent Engineer indicate a tight feedback loop between development and real-world deployment.
- **Notable perks**: Opportunity to work on frontier AI technologies (speech, text, multimodal) that directly impact the “backbone of the economy.” The company is at an early stage (32 employees) with significant recent funding, offering high autonomy and ownership.
