Benefits: LovelaceAI offers competitive compensation packages, comprehensive benefits. We provide a supportive and inclusive work environment where your skills and expertise can make a significant impact on the safety and security of our communities. Lovelace’s founding team includes: Andrew Moore, who has a track record of building impactful AI systems, designing them with human rights impact assessments as a top priority, leading the AI division of one of the world’s foremost cloud companies, and actively participating in machine learning and AI research over the past two decades. Toby Smith, well known in the Pittsburgh Tech community for his engineering leadership and design skills, and who has led many of the most ambitious and complex system infrastructure projects in Google Pittsburgh and NetApp. Here is a note from Andrew Moore to people who are reading these Job Postings: “Hi folks, I’m so glad you are potentially interested in Lovelace AI. This area means a lot to me because while I am an AI optimist, I also think that we technologists owe it to a rightly skeptical world to show that modern intelligent systems can actually be useful. Usefulness comes in many guises: from life sciences to education and from transportation to entertainment and many others. For many of us, security and public safety is also very high on that list. That reasoning leads to this conclusion: I’m determined to make sure that the people building Lovelace AI gain a lot from the experience, including the chance to solve fascinating problems in computer science, AI, business development, customer success and product management. I also hope that we all learn from each other in a highly enriching work environment. But my main hope is that we have a shared sense of accomplishment as we see an increasing number of national security and public safety domains made safer through sensible and robust use of advanced computer science."

## Products & Services
- **[Elemental — The Context Engine for Enterprise Agents]**: A platform that ingests global data streams in real time and transforms fragmented information into enterprise-specific context engines. It integrates agentic data ops, entity resolution, and graph building into a single end-to-end pipeline at global data scale. Key features include: context built at ingest (not query), full traceability, and defensible outputs for high-stakes decision-making.
- **[Lovelace YottaGraph]**: A continuously maintained world reference graph built from public and commercially available regulatory filings, corporate registries, sanctions lists, news, global movements, and market data. It compresses massive global data into trillions of structured facts with millisecond retrieval, providing global context for agents.
