About Us

At You.com, we are building the AI Search Infrastructure that powers modern AI systems. Our goal is to create the trusted knowledge layer that agents, applications, and enterprises rely on to retrieve real-time, accurate, and citation-backed information.

Our platform combines proprietary vertical indexes with LLM-optimized retrieval systems to power AI agents, applications, and enterprise workflows. We are solving hard problems across search, large language models, and large-scale infrastructure to make AI systems more reliable, transparent, and useful.

Our team includes engineers, researchers, product builders, and operators who care about solving meaningful problems and delivering real-world impact. Whether you are improving core infrastructure, shaping product experiences, or helping bring new AI capabilities to market, your work will help define how modern AI finds and uses knowledge.

About the Role

You.com’s Search, Contents, and Research APIs are becoming the default retrieval layer inside AI agents, coding tools, and agent frameworks. In this role, you will build in public to make developers reach for them first.

This is a builder role. You will ship demos, sample apps, integrations, and open-source contributions; record yourself doing it; write about it; and take it to the places developers already spend their time, including GitHub, Discord, Reddit, X, livestreams, meetups, and conference stages. You will also be the technical and creative voice behind our hackathons and developer events, deciding which ones are worth doing and what builders should make there.

You will sit on the Developer-Led Growth (DLG) team alongside DLG engineering, partnerships, events, and brand. Success isn’t measured by attendance or impressions. It’s measured by developers who build something real with You.com, come back, and bring others with them.

Responsibilities

  • Build demos, sample apps, starter kits, and reference integrations across the agent stack (MCP, agent frameworks, coding agents and harnesses, IDE and plugin marketplaces), each designed to get a developer from curious to a first API call in minutes
  • Contribute You.com integrations, fixes, and examples to open-source projects, turning each one into something other developers can learn from
  • Turn launches and integrations into content developers actually want, including short videos, livestreams, walkthroughs, tutorials, technical blog posts, and docs improvements; when we ship a new integration, you’ll record setting it up in a real project the same day
  • Own You.com’s developer presence on Discord and Reddit: answer questions, start conversations, stream what you’re building, and co-build with our engineers in the open (automation handles support triage; you’re the human people come to talk to)
  • Show up authentically in the other communities where AI builders gather, including partner Discords, open-source repos, and forums
  • Build a You.com-specific community of bu

Use of AI Tools During Our Hiring Process

At You.com, we're thoughtful about how we use AI throughout our business — including our hiring process.

During certain stages of the interview process, we may use AI-powered tools to assist with administrative tasks such as scheduling, note-taking, transcription, or summarizing interview discussions. These tools are intended to support our interviewers by improving accuracy and efficiency — they do not make hiring decisions or replace human judgment.

All employment decisions are made by our recruiting team and hiring managers based on a holistic review of each candidate and applicable evaluation criteria.

If AI-assisted note-taking or transcription may be used during your interview, we will notify you in advance. If you prefer not to participate in an interview that uses these tools, you may opt out by informing your recruiter before your scheduled interview. We will work with you to provide an alternative interview experience where reasonably practicable.

Information collected during the hiring process is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law. By continuing with the application process, you acknowledge that you have read this notice. If AI-assisted tools are used during your interview and you have not opted out after receiving notice, you consent to their use as described above, where permitted by applicable law.
