Lead Developer - Model Science Team

Location: Remote (North American timezones preferred, minimum 3 hours overlap with Mountain Time required)

Employment Type: Full-time with potential equity compensation

IAXOV is pioneering the full senses-integrated-compute platform relied on by the world to blend human and computer beings through hyper-personalized engagement. Our flagship products include STRATEVITA, an AI-powered talent management platform, and UNIFYZE, a strategic intelligence platform for AI-driven planning and execution management.

We're not just building AI tools – we're fundamentally changing the relationship between humans and computing power through real-time computer beings that can act independently or collaboratively. Our solutions are already making waves in multiple sectors:

• Powering career readiness assessments for post-secondary institutions in Calgary
• Automating complex engineering studies in the automation & controls industry
• Developing groundbreaking solutions for the visually impaired
• Streamlining innovation ecosystem coaching and onboarding processes

As the Lead Developer for our Model Science Team, you'll be at the forefront of our mission to fundamentally change the relationship between humans and computing power. You'll own the engineering aspects of our proprietary processes, code, LLMs, and integration layers that form the foundation of our senses-integrated-compute platform.

This is a rare opportunity to architect systems that will define the future of human-computer integration, working with cutting-edge technologies in a fast-paced startup environment with a $1T total addressable market in our sights.
