Join us
Build production AI
with a team that ships.
We’re a tight team — one IIT Bombay co-founder, two 22-year-old builders, and engineers who write production code. We’re hiring people who want ownership over real systems, not seat-warmers in a meeting.
Why join
What you actually get.
No fluff. Here’s what working here looks like, in plain terms.
01
Production from day one
You ship to customers in week one, not week twelve. We don’t have an onboarding bench to hide on.
02
Direct line to founders
Three founders, no managers between you and them. Decisions in days, not in committees.
03
Hands on the whole stack
Memory, Voice, Agents, Trust — you’ll touch all of it. We’re too small to silo people.
04
Real customers, real pressure
You’ll talk to the customer when it breaks. You’ll write the postmortem. You’ll learn faster than anywhere else.
05
Equity that means something
We’re early. The first builders get the kind of equity that matters when this works. (And we plan for it to work.)
06
A team that respects your time
We work hard, but we’re not theatrical about it. Quiet hours, deep work, fewer meetings, more shipping.
What we look for
If most of these are true, we want to talk.
We don’t care about pedigree as much as proof. Show us what you’ve built; that’s the bar.
You ship
You’ve put real software in front of real users. You can show us the diff, the on-call story, the customer that yelled at you when it broke.
You think in systems
Latency budgets, failure modes, blast radius — these aren’t scary words to you. You’ve thought about them on at least one project.
You write things down
A good design doc, a clear PR description, a runbook a teammate can follow at 2 AM. We’re a small team — what you write multiplies.
You’re hands-on with AI
You’ve worked with LLMs in production, or want to. You know prompt engineering is the easy part — eval, retries, evals, retries is the hard part.

Don’t see a fit? Email us anyway. If you can ship, we’ll find a way.
Vector Voice
Founding Engineer · Voice / Realtime
Own the realtime stack — telephony, ASR, TTS, function calling, latency. You’ll ship into customer production from your first week.
Vector Memory
Founding Engineer · Memory / Retrieval
Build the retrieval layer agents actually rely on. Hybrid graph + vector + lexical, multi-tenant, sub-second p95.
Vector Agents
Founding Engineer · Agents / Workflow
Make agents reliable in production: typed tools, approval gates, eval suites, audit trails. The boring parts that matter.
Vector Trust
Founding Engineer · Trust / Compliance
Build the compliance evidence pipeline — code-level data-flow analysis, framework mapping, auditor portal. Read code, find risk.
Cross-product
Founding Designer
Set the bar for how our products and brand look. We need someone who can design dashboards, marketing pages, and the small details no one else notices.
Operations
GTM / Founder’s associate
Sit next to the CEO. Run customer conversations, qualify deals, write the things the founders shouldn’t be writing. High-leverage, fast learning.
Applying to apply is fine, but we read direct emails first. Email admin@thevectorcompany.com with a CV, GitHub, or anything you’ve shipped.
What we stand for
Four things we don’t compromise on.
01
Build, then talk
Ship something before you pitch it.
02
Ownership > seniority
Whoever’s closest fixes it.
03
Honest about gaps
We say what we don’t know.
04
Speed is a feature
Slow companies die in this market.
