Python Backend Engineer
About Us We, at AUI, are pioneering the next generation of conversational AI agents with Apollo. Apollo isn't just another language model; it's a breakthrough neuro-symbolic foundation model for controllable agents, designed from the ground up to finally solve the controllability problem in conversational AI. This unique approach enables capabilities that the standard transformer models lack, such as reliable, native tool use and unprecedented granular control over agent behavior in each interaction, including the ability to implement hard rules and continuously fine-tune performance based on real-world feedback. Apollo is demonstrating state-of-the-art results in demanding domains like retail and travel. We believe this technology is the essential unlock for truly reliable and scalable conversational agents across consumer and enterprise applications, moving the entire field forward. We invented this approach, and we're looking for passionate individuals to help us bring its power to the world. The Role: Python Developer We're looking for a passionate and experienced Python Developer to help shape the future of AI. You'll play a crucial role in developing and implementing the backend systems that power our breakthrough language model, Apollo.
