Job description

We're building billions of models, one for everyone. It's the first truly private, personal AI that learns your skills, judgment, and preferences without big tech—or us—ever seeing your data.

We're looking for a skilled generalist engineer to support our product and ML team. This is a hands-on role where you'll ship features quickly while maintaining code quality across our full stack.

What you'll do

  • Write production code with appropriate unit test coverage⁠
  • Build and enhance React-based user interfaces with modern patterns (hooks, server components, streaming)
  • ⁠ ⁠Implement and maintain OAuth-based data synchronisation pipelines (Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Notion)
  • ⁠ ⁠⁠Design and optimize PostgreSQL schemas and queries for performance at scale

You're a great fit if you're

  • ⁠ ⁠A Pragmatic Generalist : You’re comfortable jumping between React components, database optimization, and deployment issues in the same day
  • ⁠ ⁠Test-Driven : You naturally write tests for critical paths without being asked
  • ⁠ ⁠Self-Directed : You can take high-level requirements and deliver working solutions
  • ⁠ ⁠Curious : You're excited about AI / ML applications even if you're not a specialist
  • ⁠ Fast : You write solid code quickly, knowing when to be thorough and when to iterate
  • You've probably worked with :

  • ⁠ ⁠⁠RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems
  • ⁠ ⁠Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
  • ⁠ ⁠Next.js App Router and Server Components
  • ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Node.js, PostgreSQL, ORMs
  • ⁠ ⁠⁠Modern deployment platforms (Railway, Vercel, or similar)
  • ⁠ LLMs, AI SDK, prompt engineering
  • You (might) have

  • ⁠ ⁠Optional AI / ML : Vector databases (TurboPuffer), embedding pipelines, FastAPI
  • ⁠ ⁠Production experience with React and TypeScript
  • ⁠ ⁠Strong PostgreSQL skills (schema design, query optimisation, migrations)
  • ⁠ ⁠Experience with OAuth implementations and third-party API integrations
  • ⁠ ⁠Comfortable working across the full stack and learning new technologies
  • What we offer

  • Generous compensation and early stage equity. We’re competitive with the top startups, because we believe the best talent deserves it.
  • World-class expertise. We’re based in top AI research hubs in San Francisco and London. We're backed by AI experts like Juniper Ventures, Seldon Lab, and angels at Anthropic and Apollo Research. You’ll have access to some of the best AI expertise in the world.
  • Massive impact. Our mission is to keep people in the economy well after AGI. You’ll help shift the trajectory of AI development for the better, helping break the intelligence curse and prevent gradual disempowerment to keep humans in control of the future.
  • About Workshop Labs

    We’re building the AI economy for humans. While everyone else tries to automate the world top-down, we believe in augmenting people bottom-up.

    Our team previously created evals used by Open AI, completed frontier AI research at MIT / Cambridge / Oxford, worked in Stuart Russell's lab, and led product verticals at high growth startups.

    Our founders' essay series on AI’s economic impacts and the technology we’ll need to keep humans relevant, The Intelligence Curse , has been covered in TIME , The New York Times , and AI 2027 .

    Our vision is for everyone to have a personal AI aligned to their goals and values, helping them stay durably relevant in a post-AGI economy. As a public benefit corporation, we have a fiduciary duty to ensure that as AI becomes more powerful, humans become more empowered, not disempowered or replaced.

    We’re an early stage startup, backed by legendary investors like Brad Burnham and Matt McIlwain, visionary product leaders like Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky, philosopher-builders like Brendan McCord, and top AI safety funds like Juniper Ventures. Our investors were early at Anthropic, Slack, Prime Intellect, DuckDuckGo, and Goodfire. Our advisors have held senior roles at Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and UK AISI.
