Full-Stack Software Engineer (AI Platform) Full Time NEW

We are working with Curium, a Silicon Valley–backed startup pioneering a new field called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — redefining how brands gain visibility in the age of AI-driven search.

Curium is building tools that help companies show up better in AI search tools like ChatGPT or other AI assistants. Think of it like SEO for Google—but for AI. They help brands understand how AI systems pick answers and then improve their visibility there.

Curium’s founding team includes some of the brightest minds in AI:

• Vishvak Murahari – Princeton PhD, Google DeepMind
• Karthik Narasimhan – Princeton Professor, ex-Chief Scientist at Sierra.ai, co-creator of GPT at OpenAI
• Ameet Deshpande – Princeton PhD, AI2, IIT Madras

The team is tackling one of the most complex challenges in modern AI search — optimizing visibility within highly dynamic, black-box systems. The team has pioneered novel optimization approaches and is now bringing these innovations to market, backed by top-tier investors like General Catalyst and Nexus, along with industry leaders from OpenAI, Intel, and Nutanix.

They are currently looking to hire a Full-Stack Software Engineer (AI Platform) to help build and scale their core systems.
