What if you had the chance to transform every human in every enterprise into a Cyborg?

That’s what we’re doing at Layerup — we're democratizing “human expertise” by inventing a future where companies are run by more AI than humans.

Our goal for the next decade is to replace scarce “human expertise” with unlimited AI, starting with Legal, and extending to every other function in every enterprise in every industry on the planet.

We’re inventing a world where we convert enterprise-level human expertise into software for the first time in the history of mankind.

We’re a seed-stage startup backed by some of the best investors in Silicon Valley like Founders Inc, Y Combinator, Soma Capital, CapitalX, Founders of Polygon (Sandeep and Jaynti), OrangeDAO, and a few more amazing angels like Shaan Puri.

If you’re applying to this position, you love startups and inventing products! You like to move fast, challenge people on their assumptions, have an intrinsic motivation to make things that create a BIG impact, and most importantly you truly resonate with the mission.

Here’s a blog post that talks about our vision in depth: https://arnavbathla.substack.com/p/the-death-of-human-expertise

We're a team of serial entrepreneurs, AI engineers, and technologists who like to stay at the cutting edge of hardware and software alike. We've built everything ranging from AI apps to robots to drones to getting invited by NASA for a habitable space settlement research project.

Why Join?

1. Tackle impactful problems: We’re a team that thinks in terms of impact. As you’re thinking about which company to join, I would recommend looking into the importance and scale of “human expertise” such as legal in our world today.
2. Be at the forefront of innovation: Today, we’re completely focused on securely bringing LLMs in every single industry starting with Legal, but in the next decade, we won’t shy away from disrupting ourselves. Again, our mission is to boost innovation in areas that lack it. You will learn cutting-edge skills that will define the future.
3. Accelerate your learnings: Joining an early-stage AI startup is the best possible way to learn fast and build something that will be used by billions of people in the coming years. We’ve personally hacked on multiple products that we shipped in less than 24 hours.

Startups are the best possible career choice from the standpoint of learning fast and rapidly gaining important skills. That’s exactly our moat — learning about what (are the right) specs to ship faster than any other company.

Skills:

• Strong Full-stack software fundamentals (React, Node js, MongoDB, and more)
• Knowledge of and passion for AI: strong fundamentals of fine-tuning, prompt engineering, building extensive RAG pipelines, and more. We like to work with people who already have shipped AI applications end to end.
• Hunger to learn: You can quickly learn how to work with services and tools even without previous experience. This is particularly true today and will remain true as we grow. We have to invent faster than Moore's law.
• Excellent written communication (design docs, specs, documentation, code reviews, post-mortems)
• Impatient with execution, but patient with results (aka you’re the type of person who makes shit happen)

Bonus points: startup experience, built AI apps, worked with more than just GPT-4, or personal interest in AI.

Benefits and impact:

• Create a leading piece of software that will remove the bottleneck to AI adoption in every single industry: We’re on an extremely impactful mission. The world doesn’t need the 10th CRM or the 20th social consumer app. The world needs startups solving really hard real-life problems.
• Work with the best: We want to build a product-obsessed engineering-heavy culture. Our major focus in the early days would be writing code and talking to users. Help us build this product-obsessed culture from day 1.
• Join a strong engineering, entrepreneurial, and builder culture: We want our founding team to be entrepreneurial and build a company from 0 to 1. We're all builders. All of us like to stay at the cutting edge of tech and this company is an artistic reflection of ourselves.
• Join as one of the early team members of a category-defining company. Our primary goal is to develop this company into a category-defining entity. We are at the beginning stages, and being an early member allows you to have a front-row seat in shaping history.
