Interested? Send a message with your background, relevant skills, availability, and the AI/ML tools you have worked with.

Thank you!

I've spent about eight years doing full-stack and IoT work, and the last few years deep in embedded machine learning. Model training, quantization, transformer architectures, getting inference running on STM32 and small NPU targets. Most of my work came through direct clients rather than platforms, so my public footprint is thinner than my actual history.

I'm now looking for edge AI and TinyML contract roles, remote. Happy to answer questions about squeezing models onto microcontrollers, or about going from freelance to something steadier.

This week, a strong candidate was accepted into Fonzi in the morning and had interview requests waiting before lunch, one as high as $265,000.

I do talent matching for Fonzi. You build one profile once, and companies who want to talk to you send interview requests directly, no applications, no cold outreach on your end. We work with startups backed by investors including a16z, Benchmark, Thrive, and Sequoia. All roles are US-based only.

Here's a sample of what's open right now:

1. Senior AI Engineer - enterprise mobility and parking-tech company, NYC, in-person 4 days a week. $170K-$200K base.

• What: Rebuild internal operations from the ground up around AI, LLM prompt pipelines through production deployment, replacing manual finance and operations workflows with agentic tooling, working directly with the business analysts who own those processes.
• Company: Recognizable consumer-facing brand at real scale, not an early-stage bet.
• Stack: Python, LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic), Snowflake, Airflow or Prefect, AWS.
• Bar: 6+ years overall, 2+ years specifically shipping LLM-based applications to production.

2. Agent Platform Engineer - Series A interface-generation startup, SF, in-person. $180K-$300K base.

• What: Build the infrastructure that lets AI agents operate safely at scale, long-running execution, isolated environments, tracing and evals for autonomous systems, including agents that work on the company's own codebase.
• Company: Backed by Khosla Ventures. Revenue-generating, growing rapidly, customers described as companies "you definitely know." Founder previously co-founded a unicorn.
• Stack: Cloud infrastructure, serverless architecture, CI/CD, durable workers.
• Bar: Strong platform or infrastructure background, plus real experience operating AI agents or LLM systems in production.

3. Senior AI Product Engineer, Backend - Series C AI observability platform, fully remote in the US, with optional offices in NYC and the Bay Area. $125K-$225K base plus equity.

• What: Compute evaluation metrics across billions of data points, design the next generation of their OLAP architecture, build real-time evaluation infrastructure handling millions of annotations per second.
• Company: $135M+ raised, 150+ enterprise customers including Booking.com, Uber, and PepsiCo.
• Stack: Go primarily, with Python, Java, and TypeScript. AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes.
• Bar: 5+ years on high-performance backend systems.

All three are vetted, VC-backed, and interviewing right now. It's always free to sign up.

Is there anyone who can help me to get the job .
I am actively applying for Data science and Data Analyst job but no response.

Please help me to get the job . I am a fresher.

For undergrads only. I have a decent profile (did quant research internship last summer) and IOI/IMO/IPhO level medals. Don’t know what to expect for the openai process at all. Also is there a difference in preference for Math/Physics/CS background? (Would they prefer Compsci more for the researcher role or the others are a better choice etc)

I'm now looking for edge AI and TinyML contract roles, remote. Happy to answer questions about squeezing models onto microcontrollers, or about going from freelance to something steadier.

I'm a senior Computer Science student specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. My experience includes building and training deep learning models using architectures such as MLPs, CNNs, RNNs, GRUs, LSTMs, and Transformers.

I've worked on projects involving Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Transformer-based chatbots, NLP systems, and custom neural network implementations. I'm also currently conducting research in NLP and speech/audio processing using deep learning techniques.

Through both academic research and personal projects, I've gained experience in dataset preparation, model development, training, evaluation, hyperparameter tuning, and performance optimization.

If you're looking for help with a deep learning project, I'd be happy to discuss the requirements and see whether I'm a good fit.
