What startups in AI and machine learning build
Startups here pick one layer, either the model itself or the product and infrastructure around it. That choice decides the hiring, with research and infrastructure work at one end and product and design at the other. Tooling changes fast, so you are hired for the problem more often than for a fixed stack.

The hiring market
What engineering work involves at an early-stage startup
You own whole parts of the product rather than one service inside a large system. Expect to write the code, deploy it, and get paged when it breaks. Reviews are quick and the codebase is small, so a decision made on Tuesday can ship on Thursday.
Experience level
Open roles by the experience the posting asks for.
