Engineering Culture We're a small and committed technical team that oversees engineering, research, design, product, and operations. We believe that a small dedicated team with a flat structure and collaborative culture can move faster and build better products than large hierarchical organizations.

- A proven track record of delivering successful creative projects and designing innovative and delightful user experiences
- A strong emphasis on high decomp skills, with the ability to think creatively to develop effective solutions to complex design challenges
- Ability to balance creative quality with project delivery expectations
- Work experience with software development best practices, including version control (e.g., Git), automated testing, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD)

## Nice To Have

- Experience working with AI/ML tools and products, with an understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the technologies

We’re committed to creating a space where our employees can bring their full selves to work and have equal opportunity to succeed.

## About Thread AI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Thread AI builds Lemma, a composable AI orchestration infrastructure and workflow platform that enables enterprises to safely deploy governed, reliable AI agents in mission-critical operations.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed + Series A funding)
- **Headquarters**: New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Angela McNeal (CEO) and Mayada Gonimah (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: AI infrastructure / enterprise software
- **Target customers**: Regulated industries, Fortune 500 enterprises, public sector agencies, and any organization running business‑critical processes that require audit, control, and reliability.
- **Mission**: Bridge the gap between powerful AI models and production operations by providing controlled autonomy – letting AI agents act independently within clearly defined operational boundaries.

## Products & Services
- **Lemma** – A composable AI orchestration infrastructure and workflow builder. Key features include:
  - Drag‑and‑drop workflow builder plus code‑first SDK and API access (REST, gRPC, GraphQL, SFTP).
  - Built‑in security and governance: SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA, GDPR, CJIS compliance; AES‑256 encryption at rest, TLS in transit; PII redaction; full audit trails.
  - Glass‑box observability with complete traceability for every agent decision and system access.
  - Dynamic workflow planning and execution supporting non‑deterministic, multi‑step agentic paths.
  - Human‑in‑the‑loop guardrails for critical decision points.
  - Deployment flexibility: VPC, on‑premises, or multi‑tenant SaaS.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$26M** across two rounds
- **Notable Investors/Partners**:
  - Seed round (Oct 2024): $6M led by **Index Ventures** (5 investors)
  - Series A (Jul 2025): $20M led by **Greycroft** (6 investors)
  - Additional seed investor in 2023
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount grew **+75% YoY** to 24 employees.
  - LinkedIn followers grew **+191% year‑over‑year** (3,213 followers).
  - Powering production AI in Fortune 500 operations and public sector agencies.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Founding team** – Former Heads of AI/ML Product and Engineering at Palantir Technologies, bringing deep experience deploying large‑scale data systems in the world’s most demanding environments.
- **“Controlled Autonomy” architecture** – Enables autonomous agents to operate within defined guardrails, satisfying both builder flexibility and enterprise compliance.
- **Enterprise‑grade compliance out‑of‑the‑box** – SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA, GDPR, CJIS – no need to retrofit governance later.
- **Vendor‑agnostic composability** – Connects existing systems without replacing them (REST, gRPC, GraphQL, SFTP, SDKs).
- **Glass‑box observability** – Every workflow versioned, traced, and audit‑ready from first deployment.

## Strategic Focus
- Safely deploying AI in regulated environments where failure has real business consequences.
- Reducing infrastructure complexity so builders can prototype and productionize on a single platform without rebuilding.
- Maintaining strict data control: customers own their data and agents; no vendor lock‑in.

## Why Work Here
- **Founding story** – Built by AI leaders who left Palantir to solve one of AI’s hardest problems: reliable, governed deployment of agents.
- **Engineering culture** – Emphasizes “deep work, engineering excellence, and solving real‑world enterprise challenges.”
- **Growth trajectory** – Rapidly growing (24 employees, +75% YoY) with strong investor backing; early hires have significant impact.
- **Location & flexibility** – Office in New York, NY. Roles listed for New York; not explicitly remote/hybrid but open positions span engineering, sales, operations.
- **Notable perks** – Engineering‑first environment, opportunity to shape the infrastructure layer for enterprise AI.
