We are building a server-less product on top of Indexify that allows users to build real time extraction pipelines for unstructured data. The extracted data and indexes would be directly consumed by AI Applications and LLMs to power business and consumer applications.

We are looking for folks who love to work in the intersection of information retrieval, large-scale distributed systems, and artificial intelligence for content understanding. Being able to design and implement robust backends from the ground up, and knowledge of operating infrastructure is a must-have criterion in this role.
