About us
We are building an engineering AGI. We founded P-1 AI with the conviction that the greatest impact of artificial intelligence will be on the built world. Our first product is Archie, an AI engineer capable of quantitative intuition over physical product domains and engineering tool use. Archie initially performs at the level of an entry-level design engineer but rapidly gets smarter and more capable. We aim to put an Archie on every engineering team at every industrial company on earth.
Our founding team includes the top minds in deep learning, model-based engineering, and industries that are our customers. We closed a $23 million seed round led by Radical Ventures that includes a number of other AI and industrial luminaries (from OpenAI, DeepMind, etc.).
In summary:
we are on a mission
multiple hats is the norm
no politics, low bureaucracy
fast, data-driven decision-making; velocity and agility are everything
believe in manifesting the future of physical engineering
About the role
We are a small team tackling an ambitious problem. If we are successful, it will change the course of history. As such we have a very high talent bar and are looking for people who have done something remarkable.
This role is for an extraordinary frontend engineer who wants to define how engineers interact with AI. You will build the interface layer between our users and Archie—designing and implementing the workflows, interaction patterns, and real-time systems that allow engineers to collaborate with an AI agent on complex engineering problems.
You will work across the stack when needed, but your center of gravity will be product UX design, architecture, and implementation, creating high-quality interfaces for technical users.
This role can be either remote (based in US or Canada and with existing work authorization) or based in our San Mateo office. If you are remote, you should plan to spend one week out of six co-working with the rest of the company in our San Mateo office. We will support relocation for candidates interested in moving to the Bay Area.
Compensation
$150k - $200k… for now. This role includes a significant equity component. We are an early-stage startup, so we favor equity over cash in our current compensation philosophy. You should too, or an early-stage startup might not be for you. That said, we expect cash compensation to progress quickly as the company matures.
Our benefits include healthcare, dental, and vision insurance, 401k with employer matching, and unlimited PTO. We also get a friends & family discount from the cosmetic surgeon who is our SF Bay Area office landlord.
