Job Description

About us

Imbue's mission is to make "open" AI agents win over closed agents. To do that, we’re starting with making open coding agents, since they both make it easier to construct future agents, and we can use them ourselves.

Our flagship product, Sculptor, gives engineers the power to run and coordinate multiple coding agents in parallel, helping them move faster and stay in flow. At its core, Sculptor is about giving developers power to make software creation easier, faster, and more reliable. We intend to make the source code available to both serve as an example of how to create open agents, and provide a tool that makes it easier for others to create open software. The insights we gain from building Sculptor help us both understand the interaction design and infrastructure necessary for creating open agents, and improve the capabilities of the underlying models.

Ultimately, we aim to rekindle the dream of the

• personal
• computer, where computers become truly intelligent tools that empower us, giving us freedom, dignity, and agency to pursue the things we love.

Summary

In this role, you’ll build the AI systems that power Sculptor and ensure that coding agents work “for you”. You’ll directly shape the intelligence behind the product you use every day, and will have real influence on the problems we tackle and the approaches we take. We're looking for scientists who combine research excellence with pragmatic engineering; someone who can push the boundaries of what's possible while shipping real solutions that delight our users.
