"Exa is looking for engineers who don't care about the status quo and can think from first principles about everything that's really important. Search systems built for AI are still new and require rethinking how search works because humans and AI behave differently."
"I don't believe it when people say you can't do something. We want engineers who feel the same way. Exa prioritizes candidates' values above all else, and experience is not as important as passion for building search or large-scale systems."
"To assess candidates for their character, Exa flies them to San Francisco to work with the team for one to two days. This allows us to see what a person's like beyond their output on a project."
Exa, an Nvidia-backed startup, is expanding into Asia-Pacific with a new office in Singapore and plans to hire up to 10 engineers. CEO Will Byrk emphasizes the need for 'rebellious' engineers who challenge the status quo and think from first principles. The company values candidates' passion for building search systems over experience. To evaluate character, Exa invites candidates to work with the team in San Francisco for a few days. The company aims to innovate search systems tailored for AI applications, which require a different approach than traditional methods.
