About Us Encord is building the AI infrastructure of the future. Today, the biggest bottleneck in AI isn't algorithms—it's data quality. For most teams, preparing high-quality training data is the most time-consuming and expensive part of bringing AI products to market.

Founded by former computer scientists, physicists, and quants, Encord exists to fix this. Just as early computing needed better tools to unlock its potential, modern AI needs better infrastructure to scale. We're building those tools.

We're a fast-growing team of 100+ working at the cutting edge of computer vision and deep learning, backed by CRV, Y Combinator, and industry leaders, including former Meta VP of AI Luc Vincent. Trusted by leading AI teams and consistently rated best-in-class by customers, Encord is scaling quickly—and we're building a world-class GTM team to match.

The role We're hiring an Associate Solutions Engineer to be the technical bridge between engineering and customers. Partner with our commercial team to demo Encord's platform to AI leaders, roboticists, and computer vision engineers at the world's most innovative companies.

This role sits at the intersection of complex code and high-growth business strategy. Fast-track your career while learning to architect solutions for leading AI teams.
