Martian is doing for LLMs what Google did for websites. The number of models is exploding and it's hard to figure out what&nbsp;model&nbsp;you should use for what task. Martian fixes that problem through a&nbsp;model&nbsp;router: You give us your prompt, we run it on the best&nbsp;model&nbsp;in real time. We can do this because we've learned how to predict the performance of a&nbsp;model&nbsp;without running it. That lets us find a&nbsp;model&nbsp;which can complete your request with the highest quality and lowest cost.Model-routing is just the first tool we're&nbsp;building&nbsp;to help understand the way in which models behave. By pioneering techniques like this, we want to solve the most fundamental problem in AI: understanding why models behave the way they do, and creating guarantees they'll behave the way we want.Our model router comes out of NLP research we’ve done since 2017. We have raised $9M from the likes of General Catalyst (Stripe, Airbnb) and NEA (Databricks, Salesforce). All of our sales have been inbound—we haven’t had to reach out to large enterprise customers, they have reached out to us for our product.

Building a good model-router is technically challenging. It requires training reward models from human feedback, developing more effective routing models, reducing model costs, and hosting models in a production-ready way. We're looking for someone to take on those challenges with Martian, both directly contributing as an engineer and leading the ML Eng team.

Founding ML Engineer

Building a good model-router is technically challenging. It requires understanding and measuring model performance (both through qualitative metrics and human preferences), developing more effective routing systems (better data, new model architectures, query-rewriting, and fundamental research into how models work), and productionizing the tools we build (reducing latency, improving model costs, ML Ops). We're looking for someone to take on those challenges with Martian by building and leading our ML Eng org from scratch.



We’re located in Pacific Heights, SF, working in person 5 days of the week.

Top-tier academic pedigree (CMU, Stanford, etc.) essential. Must thrive in startup environment, building complex systems from scratch. Proven track record in high-achieving companies. Exceptional side projects or awards required. Excited to work onsite in San Mateo 4+ days/week. Visa sponsorship available. Salary $120k-$200k.

Founding Engineer

Maxima’s mission is to “maximize shareholder value for every enterprise in the world by making their
financial information accessible, accurate, and actionable”
.
Today, there are so many companies out there who make sub-par financial decisions leading to constant
layoffs, churn and wealth destruction. Thereby, impacting the interest of their employees (livelihood, 401K,
kids’ college fund), shareholders and suppliers.
Ask yourself: why do some companies drop [90%] of their share price in 2 years, get acquired by private
equity and then turn profitable in the next 1 year. With no real change to their customer or product.
The single biggest reason behind these sub-par financial decisions are: fragmented financial data which
does not provide any forward-looking, actionable RoI insights to the decision makers. Such a broken set
up also leads to lack of time and attention from the accounting and finance teams, as they spend
disproportionate time on mundane tasks like month-end close. Most accounting teams spend 20-22 out
of 30 days every month to close their monthly books, and this exercise happens every month, 12 times a
year. 87% of accountants are burnt out by the month end close and 90% face intense pressure to close
the books faster.
Maxima’s moonshot is to close the books for every company on ‘day zero’
. Gone are the days of month
end close. We are enabling a future of “continuous close”
. On the first day of every month, our AI based
systems will automatically update the financials so that teams can spend the rest of their time analyzing
and making the best decisions for their business. We have several unicorn businesses and publicly traded
companies as our customers.
Maxima will directly improve the work lives of 2% of the entire US employees who are in deep pain and
frustration, see the sample reddit post below and find more here.

● You prioritize learning: As a small startup, engineers not only build the product & infrastructure,
but also talk to customers, jump in sales calls and figure out product roadmap.

Adding AI to customer support is not about automating away interactions with customers. It is about increasing them and making them better. By cutting away the noise and removing repetitive and mind-numbing tasks, teams can get back the bandwidth they need to dedicate real human time with their customers, and do what they do best: delight them.

Markprompt (YC W24)

Join Ante LabsEntering and settling credible commitments is critical for global trade, but it’s slow and complex. Ante Labs is building Ante, a protocol for onchain commitments, and hiring talent excited to transform societal accountability.Imagining how claims settlement evolves in a world without computers, and you get something rooted in legacy courts. But the world has always-on, programmable ledgers. So why not build open tools to create, verify, and settle commitments, which accelerates trust formation and growth?Why Ante? The vast majority of things attempted in crypto don't make sense, but a few things make a lot of sense. Ante works by enabling users to create verifiable onchain commitments with autonomous settlement. At scale, Ante can help keep the world honest, level the playing field for entering global commerce, and explicitly digitize trust.Concrete crypto products like Uniswap, Maker, Compound / Aave, etc., have become "verbs" in crypto. That's because they actually are coherent with crypto's differentiating properties. Consequently, they make so much sense now that it's easy to forget that they weren't a part of crypto from day one.&nbsp;The goal of Ante is to “verb-ify” a new primitive - an “Ante,” or a credible commitment - that, in retrospect, seems obvious. (“Tokenizing” as a concept seems obvious now, and swapping stems from tokens, but Uniswap didn’t become “a thing” until tokens were ubiquitous.)About Ante LabsAnte Labs is a seed-stage remote org backed by angels &amp; leading crypto investors like Sequoia. Teammates have worked on global consumer apps, gaming, and crypto, and built a quant trading firm from scratch.

In SF or relocate. Founding engineer needed; fullstack with NodeJS, Typescript, LLMs (OpenAI, Langchain), AWS, CI/CD. Freight tech passion essential. Engage in-person 5-6 days/week. Early startup vibe; autonomous and entrepreneurial. Visa sponsorship available. $150K-$230K. Disrupt freight with AI and SaaS innovation.

Tim Lin

FleetWorks automates the 2B phone calls and emails that the freight industry makes every year. We use voice synthesis, generative AI, and integrations with logistics systems to solve the largest cost in this industry - people.When Uber Freight needs to ship a truckload of Coca-Cola going from Phoenix to Bentonville. They can use FleetWorks to call the driver to get an ETA, alert the receiver and shipper that the driver is running late, and reschedule the appointment - all with automated text messages, phone calls, and emails.❌ THE PROBLEM:Getting freight from point A to point B is still largely handled by humans. Digitized brokers have driven automation, but most day-to-day operations are still handled over phone and email between millions of humans around the world. Given this overhead, freight brokerages operate on low single-digit margins.Three roles in a freight brokerage spend a significant part of their day on repetitive tasks:<ol><li>Track and trace agents → Identify loads that are not being tracked automatically via apps, telematics, or aggregators. They reach out via phone or email to the driver or dispatcher for an update.</li><li>Load coverage and carrier sales → Handle inbound/outbound calls to/from trucking companies that are interested to book loads. Information like weight, commodity, and appointment time is shared. Then the parties negotiate on price.</li><li>Appointment schedulers → Set appointment times for unscheduled loads by calling or emailing facilities, or logging into customer portals. Due to unforeseen issues, 20-30% of appointments need to be rescheduled at the last minute resulting in even more work.</li></ol>✨ OUR SOLUTION:FleetWorks sits alongside a broker’s phone, email, and transportation management system (TMS). Calls and emails can be triggered automatically or manually, and relevant information is automatically pushed to the TMS or email for operators to take action.FleetWorks can automatically<ol><li>Book loads: Share load details, discuss price, and book the carrier.</li><li>Track loads: Call the driver and update the account team on issues.</li><li>Schedule appointments: Email or call facilities that don’t have a booking portal.</li></ol>💲 THE OPPORTUNITY:There are 150 large brokers in the U.S. (&gt;$100M gross revenue) and they are taking share from small brokers. These brokers alone spend $11B on operational headcount and 70% of headcount is involved in repetitive work.These operators conduct 1 billion phone calls per year to manage load execution. Today, these calls cost $5-15 depending on complexity. At a rate of $1 per successful call (10x cheaper than the status quo), we believe our near-term market opportunity is $1B.Given the $11B of spend on operational headcount, FleetWorks provides significant margin expansion for our customers.
