## Job description

## About Pangram Labs

Pangram Labs builds state-of-the-art AI detection software. Our models identify AI-generated text and images, and we bring that capability to our users through our web app, browser extensions, platform integrations, and API. Pangram serves teachers and universities, publishers, newsrooms, hiring teams, and enterprises.

We are a small team based in person in Brooklyn, New York.

## The Role

We are looking for mid-level and senior Full-Stack and Product Engineers with great product sense and programming skills. Full-stack engineers at Pangram own the product lifecycle from end-to-end: assisting designers and PMs in understanding our users, architecting product flows, building clean UIs, microservices, and APIs, and owning instrumentation and observability.

## Responsibilities

- Own and ship product features end-to-end in both consumer and B2B verticals.
- Work closely with GTM, Product, and Research functions to bring Pangram’s machine learning technology to polished user experiences
- Turn design specs and prototypes into shippable, working products
- Review code and raise the quality bar for code across the company

## Requirements

- At least 3 years of professional software engineering experience
- Fluency in Python and a modern front-end framework (we use React and Next.js with Typescript)
- Fluency in relational databases, APIs, and microservices
- Experience with integrating third-party services
- Fluency and comfort with AI coding tools and thoughtfulness around their use
- Based in or willing to relocate to the NYC area to work from our office on a hybrid schedule
- Comfort across the stack: front-end and back-end, with strength in either and at minimum comfort in the other.
- A strong sense of taste and craftsmanship, bias towards action, and clear communication skills

## Nice to have

- Experience with browser extensions
- Experience with mobile apps
- Working experience at an early stage startup
- Interest in AI, machine learning, and LLMs; including AI safety and responsible AI

## About Pangram Labs

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Pangram Labs builds an AI detection platform that identifies AI-generated content with high accuracy, serving educational institutions and enterprises to maintain content authenticity.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed Stage)
- **Headquarters**: Brooklyn, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Max Spero (CEO) and Bradley Emi (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: AI Detection, Content Authenticity, Cybersecurity
- **Target customers**: B2B – universities, schools, publishers, law firms, HR departments, foundations, and enterprise organizations
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "To mitigate new issues caused by the proliferation of powerful generative AI models" and "rebuild trust amidst the increase in generative AI content" [pangram.com](https://www.pangram.com/)

## Products & Services
- **Pangram AI Detector**: A SaaS platform that detects AI-generated text from all major LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, DeepSeek, etc.) with 99.98% accuracy and a false positive rate of 1 in 10,000. Supports 20+ languages.
- **Plagiarism Checker**: Integrated plagiarism detection in a single tool alongside AI detection.
- **AI Segment Analysis**: Highlights sections of text that were AI-generated versus AI-assisted (edited by AI).
- **API**: Programmatic access for high-volume enterprise and developer use cases.
- **LMS Integrations**: Works with Canvas, Moodle, Google Classroom, Brightspace, and other learning management systems.
- **Chrome Extension & Google Docs Integration**: Browser-based detection for web content and documents.

  - Monthly employee growth of 10.5%
  - Independently verified by researchers at University of Chicago and University of Maryland
  - Detects outputs from unreleased AI models and humanized/AI-assisted text
  - Active job postings increased 16.7% quarterly (7 open roles)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proprietary technology**: Uses its own deep learning models trained on diverse datasets, not open-source or commercial LLMs — giving it a unique detection methodology.
- **Lowest false positive rate**: 1 in 10,000 (0.01%), independently verified by third-party researchers, significantly outperforming competitors.
- **Detects humanized text**: Can identify AI content even after it has been processed by evasion tools.

- **Peer-reviewed research**: Active contributions to the AI detection research community.

## Strategic Focus
- **Expand enterprise and education market**: Targeting universities, publishers, law firms, and HR departments.

- **Multilingual capabilities**: Expanding detection to 20+ languages for global adoption.
- **Product differentiation**: Moving beyond simple binary detection to nuanced analysis (AI generation vs. AI assistance vs. human writing).

## Why Work Here
- **Founding team from top AI labs**: Work alongside former Tesla Autopilot, Google, Nuro, and Absci researchers — a steep learning environment.
- **Mission-driven**: Directly tackling one of the most pressing problems of the generative AI era — content authenticity and trust.
- **Fast-growing startup**: 162.5% headcount growth in the last year, with 7 active job openings across engineering, ML, research, and operations.
- **Research culture**: Active publication and peer-reviewed research; engineers and researchers contribute to the broader AI community.
- **Office location**: Based in Brooklyn, New York (likely hybrid/office-first culture given startup stage).
- **Open roles include**: Senior Software Engineer (Backend), Machine Learning Engineer, AI Research Scientist, Full-Stack Engineer, and Executive Assistant — indicating a broad, growing team.
