About Neuroscale

Neuroscale is building the AI recruiting operating system, one unified platform for your entire talent organization, from first touch to hired. Arbi eliminates fragmented workflows, integrates directly with your ATS, and orchestrates AI agents for sourcing, outreach, screening, and candidate intelligence end-to-end. By combining reasoning-optimized models with deep workflow automation, Arbi helps talent teams win more top candidates with dramatically less friction.

We’re backed by top operators and investors, and we’re growing fast. Our momentum is further fueled by blue-chip partners and programs, including the NVIDIA Inception Program, the HPE Unleash AI Program, and our active DoD SBIR Phase II award and contract.

We’re now hiring a Founding Software Engineer to help accelerate features on Arbi to help us dominate one of the largest and fastest-expanding categories in modern software.

Collaborate across teams to integrate AI pipelines, inference systems, and third-party APIs
Own backend performance, reliability, observability, and dev workflow improvements
Drive engineering excellence via clean code, code reviews, and strong documentation
Evolve our authentication, authorization, and permissioning systems
Contribute to architecture decisions with a long-term view on scale and maintainability
