Careers at Convai

We are excited that you are interested in exploring possible career options with Convai. If creating intelligent NPCs and their applications excite you, we want to talk to you. Here’s a brief on how we believe the world will change in the coming years and how we will build a team of people who are committed to making that happen.

Mission

The kind of Conversational AI we saw in Artificial Intelligence movies or read in science fiction novels is now a reality. Convai is making them available to developers, specifically virtual world developers, who would take our APIs and plugins to power Characters in virtual worlds. These characters are effectively human-like robots in virtual world environments. A future where interacting with AI characters as seamlessly as with any real human is very close and the possibilities that arise with that are fascinating. Convai is committed to enabling this tech to develop games with characters that you can engage in various forms and immerse yourself in that narrative experience, bots that you can have as companions just like a real friend. Not only does Convai enable futuristic sci-fi level games but the potential for learning and training is immense. Traditional education can be transformed with interactive characters that are effectively personal tutors and can teach subjects in a fun and interactive way. Whether it is for K12 learning or for professional training in any industry such as healthcare or manufacturing, Conversational AI characters in virtual worlds can benefit them all. Convai is committed to making this future happen. Does this future excite you?

Core Values

Passion - Loving your work is an absolute must. Each of us in the company is excited about what we do and thereby we think about it all the time. We want you to be the same. That way you won't be “working” and the work will be something you love to do.

Developer obsession - We are creating products for virtual world developers. They are our primary users and customers and thereby will be our best advocates if we serve them well. We would be known as the earth’s most developer-centric company. Making life a breeze for the developer when it comes to using our products and services is part of our core value.

World-class - We are working on an area that will shape the future of how applications, experiences, and games are made. We are building a team of world-class researchers, engineers, and designers who are either already best in class at their craft or will stop at nothing to improve themselves and be the world's best. This is deeply tied to their work ethic and their desire to constantly seek feedback and improve.

Leaders - Leadership abilities arise when you have deep expertise in an area and are willing to take responsibility and ownership of that area. We want each person on the team to be able to have such ability and thereby can work autonomously towards their objectives and do their life’s best work so far.

Culture - Not only is it enough to be the absolute best at your craft, but it is also equally important to be someone people like to work with. We work with people that we like and trust but also admire their abilities. While being friendly, helpful, and respectful is key, it also comes down to taking responsibility for your work area, being clear and focused, communicating clearly, and having intellectual honesty.

Innovation-driven - We strive to be extremely innovative in what we do. If we are not innovating, we are dying as a startup. Every person on the team would require a level of innovation mindset and you’re constantly seeking ways to innovate either on the product or on the business side.

About Convai:
We are building the next-generation NPCs. Convai stands at the forefront of the next generation of human-AI interaction, driven by conversational and perceptual characters. You are in the right place if you are passionate about reshaping the future through casual avatars.

About the Prompt Engineer & Evaluation Specialist Role
The Prompt Engineer and Evaluation Specialist will play a key role in crafting high-quality prompts to elicit specific responses from our NPCs and evaluating the efficacy of these prompts. You will be at the forefront of understanding user needs, optimizing system responses, and ensuring our technology exceeds expectations.

At Convai, you will

    • Design, develop, and refine prompts to elicit desired outputs from AI models.
    • Collaborate with product managers and other engineers to understand product goals and user needs.
    • Conduct A/B testing on prompts to determine effectiveness & track prompt performance across different models. 
    • Write prompts for compelling characters and narratives. At Convai, we are working on narrative design. 
    • Discover, test, and document prompts to design engaging character personalities, emotions, styles, and behaviors. 
    • Design and implement evaluation methodologies that can scale as the product grows.
    • Work closely with data scientists to provide feedback on model outputs and suggest areas for improvement.
    • Act as a bridge between our team's technical and non-technical members, ensuring clear communication regarding prompt efficacy and system performance.
    • Share insights and findings regularly with the team, promoting a culture of continuous improvement.

We are looking for someone with:

    • A Bachelor’s / Master’s degree / Ph.D. in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Quantitative/ Computational Social Science, or related field.
    • 2+ years of professional experience in data science for AI/ML products.
    • Proficiency in prompting architecture or evaluating LLM behavior or relevant transferable experience.
    • Strong Python programming proficiency coupled with solid data structure and algorithm knowledge.
    • High-level familiarity with the architecture and operation of large language models.
    • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills & excellent written and verbal communication skills.
    • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment.
Bottom line: If you’re open to taking yourself to the next level and doing your best work that you’d be proud of, Convai would be an ideal place for you.
