About the role
What is Unusual
Unusual helps brands understand how LLMs talk about them, and gives them tools to change their minds.
This is an immensely important and interesting technical challenge – our engineering team focuses on reverse engineering the sources, implicit biases, and reasoning patterns that guide model behavior, and builds products that use this understanding to help people regain control over how they are represented.
From a product perspective, we have a unique opportunity to define the new field of ”Brand Engineering”: we can accurately measure LLM’s opinions of a brand, which enables us to quantify a brand’s performance relative to their peers along any dimension. By putting numbers to these previous intangibles, we can add an element of science to the art of brand; perhaps the final piece of a decades-long effort to bring math to marketing.
If you want to define a product category, push the boundary on a new field of research – applied interpretability, and make a positive impact by helping people control their own narrative rather than large AI companies, we’d love to talk.
About the role
As a Founding Engineer, you’ll own problems end-to-end – from high level customer insight all the way to research and infrastructure. You’ll keep a close feedback loop with customers and the executive team, and ship fast.
In addition, you’ll help shape a new engineering team at the dawn of a new kind of software development. Vibecoding is the next paradigm, and as AI tooling improves, we’ll need to work together to regularly reinvent the best patterns and practices for working alongside agents on a team.
Who you are
You are a high-agency builder who thrives on difficult technical problems and wants to own outcomes end-to-end, from customer insight to shipped feature.
- You are full-stack, comfortable working from customer-facing UI all the way down to infrastructure.
