About the role
- Headquartered in Silicon Valley and with offices in London, Bangalore and Vancouver, Ema is at the frontier of what Agentic AI can do in production.
- We ship real systems that run real business processes at scale.
- You'll sit in the production codebase with a senior mentor and real production data.
Responsibilities
- Ema builds AI Employees for HR, IT and Finance.
- You own one hard problem end to end.
- You write the proposal, build the system, design the evaluation, ship behind a gate, and finish with a write-up of what turned out to be true, including the parts that didn't work.
Requirements
- No specific degree required.
- One area you can teach us beats five you've touched.
- You can size an experiment, and you know 25 samples at one seed is a datapoint, not a result.
Nice to have
- Built or trained in interactive agent environments (SWE, web, or tool-use gyms).
- Large-scale trace analysis, data curation, or synthetic data work.
- Serving and efficiency experience: vLLM/SGLang, distillation, quantization.
- Multi-node GPU training, or the infra fluency to get there fast.
- Publications, open-source work, or writing that shows how you think.
- Security instincts: prompt injection, data governance, why a self-improving agent needs a fence.
Skills
- Environments and rewards.
- Data engines.
- Efficiency. Routing, ensembles, caching, small-model specialization. Quality per dollar is a research metric here.
Compensation
- Salary: $4,000 month
Benefits
- Flexible start.
- Our AI Employees take on the busy work across the employee experience, from recruiting, onboarding and benefits to IT support, invoice processing and payroll, so people can spend their time on work that needs them.
Company info
- Founded by former executives from Google, Coinbase, Flipkart, and Okta, our team includes engineers from premier tech companies and graduates of Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, CMU, and IITs.
- We are backed by industry leading investors including Accel, Naspers/Prosus, Creaegis, Section32, and angels like Sheryl Sandberg and Dustin Moskovitz.
