About Envive AI

Envive is using AI to reimagine commerce. We envision a future where retailers and brands can deploy hyper-personalized online shopping experience easily, so customers can transact flawlessly.

We are developing a new breed of AI that continuously improves towards a goal. These models understand human behavior, reason what makes an amazing experience, continuously get better, and achieve performance surpassing that of today's top commercial AI models.

We already have commercial success deploying cutting-edge research techniques that our world-class researchers developed over the last two years to scale hyper-personalized and continuously improving AI, and are looking to scale fast.

What you'll do

• Define & lead engineering strategy: Partner with the CTO/Founders to shape technical vision and roadmap - scaling from core AI infrastructure to full-stack SaaS delivery models
