About Lightfield

Lightfield is an AI‑native CRM that builds itself from your email, calendar, and meetings. It captures every interaction and turns it into organized context—accounts, tasks, follow‑ups, and insights—so nothing slips through the cracks. We’re rethinking CRM from first principles, learning from how companies actually work to adapt, automate and surface the insights that drive growth. We’re building the CRM platform we always wished existed : fast, intelligent, and genuinely helpful. Lightfield is backed by Greylock, Lightspeed and Coatue. Our team previously built Tome, a generative AI presentation product used by over 25 million people, and many of us have experience at Llama, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Pinterest, Google and Salesforce.

About The Role

The heart of a CRM is its data model. The ability to collect, store, organize and retrieve the right data for the right application is absolutely crucial to Lightfield’s success. Lightfield stores orders of magnitude more data than a traditional CRM, and that data must be appropriately organised for both LLMs and humans. No one has built a product like this at scale. You’ll be a founding member of a new team, inventing the data infrastructure and retrieval systems that power the CRM, working closely with the founders every day and participating in every important discussion at the company.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and scale the data infrastructure, search and retrieval systems that power Lightfield’s AI‑driven CRM.
• Design and optimise data models and indexing strategies to support CRM workflows, AI‑driven insights and contextual search.
• Build and maintain full‑stack systems end‑to‑end, ensuring reliability, scalability and performance.
• Develop observability and metrics to enable smooth operation, proactive issue detection and continuous improvement.
• Mentor teammates, participate in code reviews and help shape engineering culture and practices.
• Contribute to building a world‑class engineering team through recruiting, mentorship and knowledge‑sharing.
