  • Open roles : We’re currently hiring three Staff / Senior Engineers.

In this role, you’ll face exciting challenges, including integrating, ingesting, and processing hundreds of millions of documents for enterprises.

A key challenge will be ensuring Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems maintain the right level of security, protection, and PII scrubbing.

Projects you’ll be working on :

  • LLM security layer
