About Fractional AI
Fractional AI is the dev shop for applied AI. We solve hard AI-driven problems that our customers don't have the resources or know-how to staff themselves – cutting through jargon and flashy demos to get AI into production, fast.
By joining Fractional AI, you’re stepping onto an in-person, San Francisco based team with the culture of a startup but the thorny, far-reaching engineering puzzles impacting millions of users. We are a curious bunch of doers looking for team members who are smart, nice, and get things done.
About the role
We get it - it can be hard to fit right into a job description, and you may have better ideas for how to best utilize your talents. Fractional AI is always looking for awesome talent, and we want to hear about how you envision yourself on our team.
Why you should (and shouldn’t) join us
We’re big believers in transparency and know joining a company is a big decision. We’re not the best fit for everyone and try to be clear on what we are and what we’re not so you make the choice that’s right for you.
Why join Fractional?
Apply, don’t just talk about AI: You’ll have a front row seat to how the world’s leading companies are actually deploying AI solutions – positioning you in the top percentile of engineers with the experience of applying AI across a variety of customers and use cases. Projects range from bespoke RAG applications, to optimizing developer productivity, automating integrations, and more.
Solve big, real problems: companies come to us when they can’t solve some of their biggest problems themselves. For you, that means learning everyday, never getting bored or stuck on maintenance, and working across a range of industries, customers, and products.
Learn with and from the best in person: the team is built from multi-time founders and co-founded by Travis May, former CEO of LiveRamp and founder + former CEO of Datavant. Working elbow to elbow in our San Francisco office means things like team lunches, quick brainstorming + pair coding, and the right amount of banter.
Why shouldn't you join Fractional?
Preference for speed over quality: we love hacking things together for a proof of concept (and run regular team hackathons!) but ultimately our code will be put into production in our customers’ environments - you need to enjoy shipping code that’s clean, understandable, and scalable.
Predictability is important to you: you’ll be working across customers, programming languages, industries and projects, which means you won’t be becoming an expert in the same product suite or serving the same user day after day.
User conversations aren’t your thing: We all have our own preferences - at Fractional, you’ll spend most of your time coding, but you’ll also be closer to the user than other engineering roles. You’ll be directly interfacing with our customer contacts (usually engineers on the customer’s internal team) to ask questions and problem solve.
Our Values
Overdeliver.
Overuse AI.
Over "engineer" the culture.
