Senior AI Engineer

at  Durable

Our mission at Durable is to make owning a business easier than having a job.
We envision a world where AI runs your business for you. Anyone with a skill will be able to launch a successful business in minutes. They will be able to focus only on doing their best work, not all the other bullshit that comes with running a business.
AI will be their web designer, their marketing agency, their office admin, and their accountant.
We launched the first AI Website builder (https://durable.co) (before chatGPT!), and have generated over 5 million sites.
We have a long way to go to accomplish our ambitious vision. We raised a $14m Series A from Spark Capital last year, are generating significant revenue, and are a team of 20.
We’re hiring a Senior AI Engineer to join us and 10x our AI capabilities.
You will be supported in the role by an experienced leadership team and a great working culture.
