- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** remote
- **Posted:** 2026-04-03
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-08

## Job description

## COMPANY OVERVIEW

Realm http://realmalliance.com builds AI for the mining industry. We integrate with existing mine infrastructure — cameras, SCADA systems, drones, and data repositories — to predict equipment failures, detect unsafe behaviors, and optimize operations. Our platform deploys intelligence in various ways to improve productivity and safety — monitoring PPE compliance via computer vision, optimizing froth flotation processes, analyzing longwall shearer performance, tracking MSHA citation patterns, and more.

Our founders started their careers at Palantir before going on to build Blend Labs (publicly traded fintech, founded as CTO) and Even (acquired by Walmart). Our leadership team brings experience from Uber, Metropolis, and other high-bar organizations. We're a small, senior team that ships daily to production mines.

AI isn't just our product — it's how we build. We're an AI-first engineering team that uses the latest models and tooling throughout our development process, moving faster and at higher quality than traditional teams our size.

Our culture values high agency, deep ownership, collaboration, and autonomy across a fully remote workforce. Teams here move quickly and make meaningful contributions to a product that shapes global industrial outcomes.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

You'll work alongside senior engineers on real features that run at active mine sites — not internal tooling or throwaway projects. We expect new grads here to ramp quickly and take on meaningful ownership within their first few months.

## WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Must-Have Qualifications

- BS in Computer Science or a related field
- Strong CS fundamentals — data structures, algorithms, and system design
- Proficiency with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor) and an AI-first development style
- Comfort working across the stack
- Ability to work independently and ramp without heavy hand-holding
- US citizen or permanent resident, based in the US

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

- Prior internship experience working on a production codebase
- Strong TypeScript proficiency
- AI, computer vision, or ML experience
- Startup or fast-paced team experience

WHY REALM?

- Work on mission-critical problems at the intersection of AI, security, and global infrastructure
- Shape the brand and product of a category-defining company from the ground up
- High-ownership, high-impact role with direct influence on company growth
- Competitive compensation with significant equity upside
- Dynamic, remote work environment with global reach

## INTERVIEW PROCESS

1. Engineering quiz (async, ~60 min) — A 8-question code reading and analysis assessment. No trick questions — we're testing how you think about real code.
2. Live coding interviews (3 x 1-hour sessions) — Algorithmic problem solving and a simulated development task.
3. Behavioral interview with senior leadership — Culture fit, working style, and past experience.
4. Reference checks

## BENEFITS/PERKS

🏥 Full medical, dental, and vision benefits

🌴 Unlimited PTO

💰401(k) with 4% safe-harbor match

📈 Equity in an early-stage, fast-growing company

💻 Home office allowance

## About Realm

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Realm provides a precision AI platform that connects existing mining infrastructure—cameras, sensors, and SCADA systems—into one predictive system to improve safety, compliance, and operational efficiency.
- **Entity Type**: Private (early-stage, no disclosed funding rounds)
- **Headquarters**: Austin, Texas, United States
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Eugene Marinelli (CEO & Cofounder) and Myles Recny (Cofounder)

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Mining technology, industrial safety, and operational AI
- **Target Customers**: Mining operators (coal, gemstones, oil & gas), heavy industrial sites, critical infrastructure managers
- **Mission/Purpose**: Build artificial intelligence for one of the world’s most essential and most underserved industries—mining—to make mines safer and more productive.

## Products & Services
- **Realm Platform (Core AI Platform)**: A single platform spanning safety monitoring, asset health, plant optimization, and regulatory compliance. Integrates with existing CCTV, SCADA, drones, data lakes, ERP, and document stores via read-only connections.
- **Unsafe Behavior Detection**: Computer vision monitors video feeds continuously to detect unsafe environments, PPE non-compliance, and identify individuals via facial recognition.
- **Citation Analytics (MSHA Compliance)**: Ingests and analyzes MSHA citation documents to spot recurring patterns, identify root causes, streamline citation termination, and benchmark enforcement metrics against district and national averages.
- **SCADA Alerts**: Monitors SCADA systems for fan health, atmospheric safety, conveyor conditions, and electrical stability—delivering early warning notifications.
- **Longwall Shearer Assistant**: Analyzes shearer data to uncover per-shift performance trends, recurring downtime patterns, and early indicators of wear.
- **Froth Flotation Optimization**: Monitors froth flotation with computer vision to understand tank flow and bubble characteristics, recommending reagent composition improvements in real time.
- **Pre-Shift Briefings**: Automated daily reports delivered before shift change with full situational awareness—covering inspector activity, citation status, enforcement trends, and compliance metrics.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Company employs approximately 6 people (+14.3% YoY headcount growth); operational in active U.S. and U.K. mining sites
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Founders previously built software for Palantir Technologies, Blend (publicly traded fintech), and Walmart (via Even). Jack Mann is listed as an Investor & Advisor.
- **Growth Signals**: Active job postings up 400% year-over-year; LinkedIn followers +170% yearly; first use case goes live with clients in under 30 days; proven deployment at large, active underground coal operations.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Deep domain specificity**: AI trained on real underground mining footage—dust, water, low light, belt spray—not generic computer vision models.
- **Read-only OT integration**: Never writes to controls or modifies OT networks, meeting strict critical infrastructure security requirements.
- **One platform, many use cases**: Safety, compliance, asset health, and plant optimization share the same infrastructure—sites start with one use case and expand.
- **Founding team pedigree**: Founders come from Palantir (government-scale systems), Blend (billion-dollar public fintech), and Walmart (acquired Even).
- **30-year enforcement lookback**: Citation analytics use 30 years of MSHA enforcement and FMSHRC decisions for pattern detection.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale from safety to production**: Most sites start with safety (at-risk behaviors, PPE) and expand into asset monitoring, prep plant yield optimization, and automation.
- **Expand beyond coal**: Product proven at coal operations, with clients in gemstones and oil & gas—indicating broader industrial application.
- **Continuous AI learning**: System adapts to each site’s conditions over time and incorporates operator feedback to reduce false positives.
- **Data privacy commitment**: All data stays within client environments or dedicated encrypted cloud instances—never shared across sites or with third parties.

## Why Work Here
- **Impact you can measure**: Injuries prevented, violations caught early, recovery improved—concrete outcomes rather than abstract metrics.
- **Full ownership, no handoffs**: Engineers build it, deploy it, and see it work on the next shift. Code goes live in minutes.
- **Work directly with operators**: The people running the mine shape what gets built—high context, high relevance.
- **Solve real constraints**: Dust, low light, legacy protocols, limited bandwidth—the environment is the engineering challenge itself.
- **Remote-friendly**: Positions are listed as remote, with teams in the U.S. and U.K.
- **Small team, big leverage**: 6 people, deep expertise from Palantir/Blend/Walmart backgrounds—new hires have outsized influence.
- **Open roles (as of 2025–2026)**: Software Engineer (Backend & New Grad), Forward Deployed Engineer, Business Development, Strategic Partnerships, Technical Recruiter.
