About The Position

Valency is building the foundation for research that puts people first and runs at the speed AI now allows. We're small and deliberate, and we don't always know what we need until we meet the person who brings it. If the mission resonates and you have a point of view on where you'd fit, tell us. The role doesn't have to exist yet. Valency indexes tens of millions of research papers and makes them queryable in real-time, for researchers and for the AI systems they increasingly rely on. People stay at the center. The old stack wasn't built for this.
