About the role
Perplexity is hiring builders to join our Multimodal AI group, an industry-leading team defining the next generation of human-AI interaction. Our team is creating experiences that move beyond the touch interface, allowing people to communicate with AI through the form factors that best meet their needs. These include through voice, images, video, or new modalities we have yet to invent.
As an engineer on the Multimodal AI team, you will work across the stack to build the product experiences and platform systems that make this possible across our applications. Our stack spans immersive UIs, realtime audio processing, evaluation systems, backend infrastructure, and supporting libraries and SDKs. We’ll work with you to match your strengths and interests to the areas where you can drive the most impact, while collaborating as a team to turn ambiguous, bleeding-edge problems into reliable experiences for users.
