About KorrAI
KorrAI is a YC-backed company helping asset owners and insurers monitor infrastructure remotely. We use satellite imagery and AI to identify risks affecting mines, data centers, railways, and other critical assets. Our mission is to make infrastructure risk visible, early, and actionable.About the Role
We are at the forefront of building next-generation AI systems, synergizing advanced ML models with robust tools and APIs to execute complex, agentic tasks. Our mission is to engineer systems that are robust, scalable, and intelligent, deeply grounded in fundamental scientific principles and a thorough understanding of modern AI’s mechanics.
About Us
We are a dynamic team pushing the frontiers of agentic AI. Our work leverages large language models, advanced orchestration frameworks, and distributed systems to deliver applied intelligence. We look for engineers who combine exceptional practical building skills with scientific curiosity about the mathematical and physical foundations underpinning neural networks and artificial intelligence.
The Role
As a Senior AI Systems Engineer, you will design, implement, and scale sophisticated AI agents powered by state-of-the-art LLMs. This role requires hands-on engineering connecting models, APIs, and external tools while also driving architectural decisions and exploring the why behind these systems. You will work at the intersection of applied engineering and advanced theory, engaging with concepts like neural scaling laws, the manifold hypothesis, dimensionality reduction, Langevin dynamics, diffusion models, and representation learning.
