About the Role

We raised a $250M Series C to build the search engine for AIs. Led by a16z, with existing investors Benchmark, Lightspeed, and YC doubling down, the round brings Exa's valuation to $2.2 billion. Read more

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.

Our Infrastructure Team builds the underlying tooling and infrastructure that powers all Exa's systems. Basically, we need more infra engineers to build the machine that builds the machine so that we can move as fast as possible as an engineering org. That could mean building GPU cluster orchestration in Kubernetes, map-reduce batchjobs on Ray, or the best observability tooling in the world.
