Design Engineer

About Attention Engineering

The gap between how top engineers around the world use AI systems today - elaborate coding agent configs, massive context files, and engineered workflows - and how everyone else uses it is only growing. We think the company that bridges the gap to create a sovereign product that understands and multiplies the rest of the world's output will be one of the most important companies built in this decade.

In the words of William Gibson, “The future is already here — it's just not evenly distributed.”

Our team is small and well funded by great investors. We’ve worked at Jane Street/Citadel/HRT, won Gold & Silver medals at the International Olympiads, and have published in top ML conferences. If your background doesn’t fit cleanly into one of the buckets above, that’s fine. We care about ownership, experience building, and slope, rather than your pedigree.

We’re looking for a senior engineer who thrives on extreme ownership, has conviction in novel design ideas, and wants to help engineer the most ambitious application for AI. If you are either the best in the world at your craft or a brilliant 15 to 20‑something‑year‑old with a steep growth curve and you truly care about helping build something great, you will design and build directly on the product with no layers between you and the decisions that matter.
