**About Fractional AI**
Fractional AI is the elite devshop for applied AI. We solve hard AI-driven
problems that our customers don't have the resources or know-how to staff
themselves – cutting through jargon and flashy demos to get AI into
production, fast.
By joining Fractional AI, you’re stepping onto an in-person, San Francisco
based team with the culture of a startup but the thorny, far-reaching
engineering puzzles impacting millions of users. We are a curious bunch of
doers looking for full-stack engineers who are smart, nice, and get things
done.
**About the role**
Joining Fractional AI as one of our first engineers, you’ll play a leading
role in building and shipping AI applications for our inaugural customers -
from understanding customer needs to deploying solutions in their environments
- all while shaping our Engineering and broader Fractional culture for the
next 100+ engineers.
**What you bring to the table**
* You write exceptional code + deeply care about the craft of coding (4+ years of experience): you build elegant, production-ready code; you have strong proficiency across multiple programming languages
* You are AI-curious, follow along with new launches, and experiment with new frameworks (like LangChain); to be clear, this is a generalist full-stack engineering role in the context of developing AI-driven applications
* You love solving hard, new problems: you are comfortable self-teaching, asking “why?,” and experimenting to solve problems you haven’t seen before
* You are ‘start-up ready’: you jump in without instruction, embrace a ‘no job too big, no job too small’ mindset, and want to shape strategy and culture
* You are comfortable talking with users: you deeply care about the user and skillfully navigate user conversations to ensure what we’re building meets their needs
* You are a great teammate: you are comfortable helping others (and asking for help), you champion integrity in everything, and want to build a one-in-a-career culture of personal growth
**You will**
* Design and develop custom AI solutions tailored to the unique needs of our customers, ensuring seamless integration and scalability
* Partner with a high-caliber team across the full project lifestyle, from requirements gathering, to prototyping, system design, coding, testing, deployment, and support
* Actively shape our Engineering and broader company culture - from how we learn, to how we hire, to how we celebrate - you’ll shape how we make Fractional a place we all love working
**Why you should (and shouldn’t) join us**
We’re big believers in transparency and know joining a company is a big
decision. We’re not the best fit for everyone and try to be clear on what we
are and what we’re not so you make the choice that’s right for you.
**Why join Fractional?**
Apply, don’t just talk about AI: You’ll have a front row seat to how the
world’s leading companies are actually deploying AI solutions – positioning
you in the top percentile of engineers with the experience of applying AI
across a variety of customers and use cases. Projects range from bespoke RAG
applications, to optimizing developer productivity, automating integrations,
and more.
Solve big, real problems: companies come to us when they can’t solve some of
their biggest problems themselves. For you, that means learning everyday,
never getting bored or stuck on maintenance, and working across a range of
industries, customers, and products.
Learn with and from the best in person: the team is built from multi-time
founders and co-founded by Travis May, former CEO of LiveRamp and founder +
former CEO of Datavant. Working elbow to elbow in our San Francisco office
means things like team lunches, quick brainstorming + pair coding, and the
right amount of banter.
**Why shouldn 't you join Fractional?**
Preference for speed over quality: we love hacking things together for a proof
of concept (and run regular team hackathons!) but ultimately our code will be
put into production in our customers’ environments - you need to enjoy
shipping code that’s clean, understandable, and scalable.
Predictability is important to you: you’ll be working across customers,
programming languages, industries and projects, which means you won’t be
becoming an expert in the same product suite or serving the same user day
after day.
User conversations aren’t your thing: We all have our own preferences - at
Fractional, you’ll spend most of your time coding, but you’ll also be closer
to the user than other engineering roles. You’ll be directly interfacing with
our customer contacts (usually engineers on the customer’s internal team) to
ask questions and problem solve.
