About Cruitical

Cruitical is an AI-native hiring platform that lets companies see how a candidate actually works before the first interview, through deep candidate profiles and hands-on work trials in a lifelike sandbox. We're Founders Inc Canopy alums (Spring 2026 cohort) and partner with a growing set of venture-backed startups hiring for roles like this one.

About the role

You'd be building AI into real products, turning models into features people use every day. Across our startups that spans LLM-powered workflows, agents, retrieval systems, and the evaluation pipelines that keep them honest.

What we usually look for:

  • You've shipped something real with LLMs (agents, RAG, copilots, internal tooling) and can point to exactly what you built
  • Comfort working across the stack to get a feature into users' hands, well beyond a notebook demo
  • A feel for where models break and how to design around it, with evals, guardrails, and sensible fallbacks
  • Fast iteration and strong product instincts; you care whether the thing actually works for real users
  • Fluency with current tooling (major model APIs, orchestration frameworks, vector stores) and the judgment to know when to skip it

Why apply here

Apply once, and we match you to the right-fit startups in our network. You get evaluated on what you can do, you get real feedback either way, and warm intros to founders when there's a fit. No resume black holes, no reapplying to ten companies one at a time.
