## Job description

San Francisco / Los Altos, in-person 5 days a week, regular travel to customer sites · Reports to the CTO · $130K to $170K base + equity

## About Uare.ai

Uare.ai is the platform for Human-First AI: each person owns an Individual AI trained on their own voice, story, and life.

Enterprise and government teams use it to capture what their best people know and make it available on demand. Every deployment is different. Someone has to sit with the customer and make it work.

Founded by Rob LoCascio, founder and former CEO of LivePerson. Backed by $10.3M from Mayfield and Boldstart Ventures.

## About the role

You will be that person. You sit with our customers, build their Individual AIs, connect them to their systems, and make sure they work. What you learn in the field shapes what we build next.

## What you'll do

- Launch customers. Scope, configure, and ship each deployment, from kickoff to first use.
- Build their AIs. Turn a customer's documents, recordings, and know-how into working Individual AIs.
- Connect their systems. Wire Uare.ai into their tools, data sources, and sign-in.
- Run the sessions. Onboard each team, lead guided tests, and collect structured feedback.
- Fix it fast. Debug issues on site and get the right fixes to engineering.
- Bring it home. Turn repeat customer work into product features and playbooks.

## What we're looking for

- U.S. citizenship is required. This role supports U.S. government contracts that require it.
- 3+ years as a software, solutions, or forward deployed engineer working directly with customers.
- Strong in Python or TypeScript, APIs, and data pipelines.
- Hands-on with LLMs, RAG, or AI features in production.
- Calm in front of customers. You explain technical work in plain language.
- Willing to travel to customer sites, including government facilities.

Bonus

- Government or regulated deployments (IL5, FedRAMP, or HIPAA), ideally on Azure. An active clearance is a plus.
- Customer-facing engineering at an AI or early-stage company.

Apply with

One deployment you led: the customer, what broke, and how you fixed it. Optional.

## How we hire

We hire for a growth mindset: outcomes over output, experiments by default, and moving the metric that matters.

Location: in-person, 5 days a week, across our San Francisco and Los Altos offices.

Uare.ai is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome people of every background and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic. U.S. citizenship is required for this role because it supports U.S. government contracts that require it. The expected base compensation for this position is below. Our total compensation package for full-time employees includes equity and a comprehensive benefits package.

Annual Salary $130,000—$170,000 USD

## About Uare.ai

## Company Overview

- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage)
- **Headquarters**: Los Altos, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Robert LoCascio

## Core Business

It captures voice, memories, knowledge, and decision-making patterns, training exclusively on the user’s own data. The AI is containerized, private, and never used to train public models. Capabilities include auto-generating AI content (AIGC), chat/voice conversations, mentorship, and legacy preservation.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – $10.3M (Seed round, announced November 12, 2025)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Mayfield (lead), Boldstart Ventures (lead), plus additional strategic investors.
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Raised $10.3M seed funding in late 2025 to accelerate product development and hiring. [uare.ai/blog](https://www.uare.ai/blog/we-just-raised-10-3m-to-build-the-future-of-individual-ai)
  - Employee count of 21 as of March 31, 2026 (up from founding in 2024). [tracxn.com](https://tracxn.com/d/companies/uareai/__xrEAIEh234afR3blmNWb-WAm9CoK3B6MGUmlJFG0oMg)
  - Platform launched in Winter 2025 and is already being used by early adopters (creators monetizing AIGC, consumers interacting with AIs).
  - Active hiring across engineering, partnerships, and creator roles (visible on careers page).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Human Life Model (HLM)**: A proprietary framework that encodes stories, values, voice, and decision-making patterns – creating AI that reasons and responds like the individual, not a generic model.
- **Privacy-first design**: User data is encrypted, isolated, penetration-tested, and never used to train public AI models. Users can delete their data anytime. [uare.ai](https://www.uare.ai/)
- **Identity verification**: All “verified Professionals” are real, identity-verified people, building trust in the ecosystem.
- **Containerized AI**: Each Individual AI is a private, self-owned model that evolves with the user, differentiating from AGI-focused competitors.

## Strategic Focus
- Expand platform capabilities for creators, pros, and enterprises.
- Scale hiring across engineering (AI, frontend, DevOps), partnerships, and creator success.
- Grow the flywheel of prosumer/consumer interaction and monetization.
- Maintain data ownership and privacy as core differentiators against public-model AI providers.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Emphasizes “Authentic, not Artificial” – the company values individual ownership, privacy, and real human connection. Core values include “be your best self” and “let yourself speak.” [uare.ai/career](https://www.uare.ai/career)
- **Work model**: Not explicitly stated as remote/hybrid, but the office is in Los Altos, CA. Given the distributed nature of the team (ex-LivePerson, ex-Apple, ex-Google, ex-Meta, etc.), a flexible arrangement is likely.
- **Benefits**: 
  - Health, dental, vision insurance with family coverage options.
  - Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA).
  - Free Calm app access, mental health support, and 24/7 counseling.
  - Caregiving support (Cariloop), childcare/eldercare coordination, adoption assistance.
  - Professional development courses, leadership training, Community Online Academy.
  - Commuter benefits, Basic Life Insurance, Short/Long-term Disability.
- **Engineering culture**: Focus on scalable infrastructure and data protection. Engineers work on building a platform that gives users control over their AI and intellectual property. [uare.ai/career](https://www.uare.ai/career)
