Requirements and responsibilities
About the roleJoin us as a Member of Technical Staff (Product Engineer) and help build the next generation of AI-native products.Reka is a multimodal AI research and product company building models that understand video, audio, and text, reason about the world, and take action.In this role, you will take ownership of product outcomes end-to-end—turning ambiguous ideas into working systems that users rely on. You will work across backend systems, product surfaces, and experimentation loops to deliver fast, reliable, and intelligent user experiences.This is a product engineering role. You won’t just implement features—you will define problems, build solutions, and iterate until the outcome is achieved.What you’ll doBuild and ship AI-native product features end-to-endDesign and implement backend systems, APIs, and data pipelines that support model-driven workflowsWork across the stack when needed (backend, frontend, infra, experimentation)Collaborate closely with researchers, designers, and product to bring ideas into productionOwn systems from design → implementation → monitoring → iterationTurn ambiguous goals into concrete scopes, milestones, and shipped outcomesMove quickly while maintaining a high bar for reliability, performance, and simplicityLike most roles at Reka, you’ll wear many hats and help build something from the ground up.AI leverage & how we workWe expect engineers to use AI tools as part of how they work.You will:Use AI tools to accelerate coding, debugging, and iterationTreat AI-generated output as a starting point—validate with tests, reviews, and observabilityDesign your own workflows to maximize speed without sacrificing correctnessBuild systems that themselves leverage AI (agents, retrieval, multimodal reasoning)We care about how effectively you create leverage, not just how much code you write.You may be a good fit if you haveExperience building production systems (backend or full-stack)Strong fundamentals in APIs, distributed systems, and system reliabilityComfort working across multiple domains (engineering, product, data, UX)A track record of owning problems end-to-end, not just executing tasksAbility to move quickly in a fast-paced, ambiguous environmentStrong communication and cross-functional collaboration skillsA pragmatic, solution-oriented approach to complex problemsNice to have: video & vision product experienceThis is not required, but a strong signal of fit.You may have experience working with:Video or multimodal pipelines (ingestion, processing, indexing)Generating embeddings from video/audio/text and building retrieval systemsSearch over video (semantic search, timestamped moments, clips)Metadata extraction (speech, scenes, objects, events)Streaming and playback systems (e.g., HLS, transcoding, latency tradeoffs)Evaluating multimodal systems (retrieval quality, relevance, cost/performance)This kind of experience is relevant because modern AI systems increasingly operate over continuous data like video and audio, not just text. (reka.ai)If you haven’t worked on video directly but can reason about these systems, that’s equally valuable.Reka's MissionReka's mission is to build useful multimodal artificial intelligence and use it to empower organisations and businesses. We are a globally distributed foundation model startup, headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Embracing a remote-first approach, our team brings together top talent from around the world. Our founding team, along with many of our team members, has contributed to many of the breakthroughs in AI over the past decade.Why Reka?An Elite Team: Collaborate with top-tier engineers, researchers, operators from renowned organizations like Google DeepMind and Facebook AI Research (FAIR) and successful startups, driving innovation in cutting-edge AI technology.Massive Market Opportunity: Be part of a rapidly growing industry poised to transform multiple sectors globally, offering the chance to make a significant impact.Mission-Driven Environment: Work alongside a collaborative, mission-focused team dedicated to advancing AI for meaningful applications.Inclusive and Open Culture: Thrive in an open and inclusive work environment that values diverse perspectives and fosters creativity.Generous Benefits: Enjoy 5 weeks of paid leave to recharge, comprehensive healthcare benefits including vision and dental, and additional perks that support your well-being.Visa Support: We provide visa assistance, including H1B and OPT transfers, for US employees to ensure a smooth transition and support your career with us.How we evaluateWe look for:Ability to own and deliver outcomes end-to-endStrong engineering fundamentals and product senseEffective use of AI tools to create leverageComfort operating in ambiguity and across domainsIf you’re excited about building AI-native products, working across the stack, and turning ideas into reality, we’d love to talk.
