How to Apply

Email: [email protected]

If you're ready to lead the development of next-generation AI systems and help us revolutionize human-computer interaction, we want to hear from you. Rather than a traditional resume, we invite you to submit a thoughtful proposal or pitch that showcases your vision, approach, and unique value proposition for this role.

Show us how you think about the future of generative AI, how you approach complex technical challenges, and how you would architect our senses-integrated-compute platform. We value quality over quantity – a well-considered, thoughtful submission that demonstrates a "bias for least action" will impress us far more than rushed, generic output.

IAXOV is committed to creating an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are valued and respected. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
