Exa is building a search engine from scratch to serve every AI agent. We build massive-scale infrastructure to crawl the web, train state-of-the-art embedding models to process it, and design super high performant vector databases in rust to search over it. If you like compute, we also own a $5M H200 GPU cluster (and soon 5x'ing that) and regularly spin up batchjobs with tens of thousands of machines.

As a Full Stack Engineer at Exa, you'll work on everything developers and agents touch when they use our product. That includes our developer dashboard, APIs, SDKs, and the rest of our developer platform.

You're a strong generalist engineer, comfortable owning the product lifecycle from design to deploy
You're fluent in TypeScript, with a strong eye for front-end design, and comfortable learning new tools and technology as the work calls for it
You've designed and maintained backend APIs that real users and customers depend on
You've shipped products for LLMs, AI agents, or other systems used by many people
You care about the problem of finding high quality information and recognize how important this is for the world

What You Could Do

Build agentic onboarding flows that quickly get developers (and their agents) from sign-up to first integration
Shape the Exa API and SDKs into the cleanest, most ergonomic agentic search platform in the ecosystem
Architect the API gateway that every Exa request flows through
Build account, billing, permissions, and provisioning surfaces our enterprise customers need
