Job Description
As a frontier AI specialist, you will lead the development of real-time voice interaction and multi-modal understanding for an innovative dating platform. You’ll leverage a unique conversational dataset to build empathetic personality models and matchmaking algorithms that replace swiping with deep, AI-guided discovery. This is a high-autonomy role transforming how millions find relationships.

Why This Role Is Remarkable

- Join a $9.7M seed-stage startup backed by Pear VC and NFX, representing Forerunner Ventures' first-ever investment in the dating category.
- Impact a product with massive traction, where 80% of AI-facilitated introductions in the San Francisco beta currently lead to in-person dates.
What You Will Do
- Architect and deploy advanced multi-modal AI systems capable of conducting 27-minute nuanced voice conversations with users.
- Design personality modeling frameworks that translate intimate conversational data into highly compatible, real-world romantic introductions.
- Collaborate directly with founders to iterate on matchmaking algorithms that prioritize deep human connection over traditional engagement metrics.
The Ideal Candidate
