About us 🚀

Hypotenuse AI is reinventing the way ecommerce brands work in the age of AI.

Enterprise ecommerce systems have always been slow, clunky and manual. We’re building a new way for ecommerce brands to manage their product data and automate their processes using AI - turning workflows that used to take months into days. On Hypotenuse AI, brands can store their product data, and have AI agents fill in missing details, edit their product images and write their content.

We power the largest brands globally - ranging from Crunchyroll and Billabong, to major department stores across the US and Canada. We’re backed by top global investors, including Y Combinator, January Capital and more.

The role

Requirements:

• Ideally able to commit full-time for 6 months or more

• High adaptability and strong problem-solving skills
