About ConductorAI
At ConductorAI, our mission is to help the government move faster. Our core
product leverages AI to enable the secure and expedient classification and
dissemination of information in the Department of Defense. We are currently on
multiple DoD contracts, and have raised a $4M seed round from Haystack, Humba,
Sunflower, Altman Capital, and others. As an early-stage tech startup, we
pride ourselves on delivering state of the art AI applications that address
the unique challenges faced by the Department of Defense (DoD) and related
agencies.
Position Overview
As an early engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in developing our core
technology and application, leveraging open source LLMs and other models to
perform contextual classification of text-based documents. We are seeking an
engineer with a generalist skillset and attitude, diverse technical
background, and a willingness and ability to learn new technologies on the
job. You’ll be working on a small tight knit technical team, with the
opportunity to help define and mature our architecture and processes as we
grow.
Key Responsibilities
