Engineering Manager, Search Quality

Exa is building a search engine from scratch to serve every AI application. We build massive-scale infrastructure to crawl the web, train state-of-the-art embedding models to index it, and develop super high performant vector databases in rust to search over it. We also own a $5m H200 GPU cluster and routinely run batchjobs with tens of thousands of machines. This isn't your average startup :)

As an engineering manager, you'd drive our team toward magical tech. We have an extremely smart and fun team, so will be pretty fun.

Desired Experience

• You have extensive experience as a tech lead or engineering manager for teams of 10+

• You have extensive experience with some high performance language (C++, Rust, etc.)

• You’re comfortable optimizing a system to an exceptional degree

• You care about the problem of finding high quality knowledge and recognize how important this is for the world

Example Projects

• Plan quarterly goals, and hold your team accountable on a day-to-day basis for accomplishing them

• Architect how to recreate google-level search over 10 billion pages in 1 month

This is an in-person opportunity in San Francisco. We're happy to sponsor international candidates (e.g., STEM OPT, OPT, H1B, O1, E3).
