About this role
About Us
Imbue is a radically different AI company. We believe that data should belong to you, humans should come before technology, and everyone deserves to own a personal team of AI agents. We believe in a future of open agents that you can modify to do exactly what you want.
We’re building a suite of tools to make tech serve humans, and making it open source.
Some first projects include:
- Sculptor: An interface for programmers to run coding agents in parallel and stay in flow
- mngr: A command-line tool for managing agents
- Vet: A standalone tool that catches AI coding mistakes and reviews full PRs
- Offload: A tool that automatically distributes your tests to run in isolated sandboxes
- Latchkey: A command-line tool to integrate local agents with third-party APIs
- Darwinian Evolver: A near-universal optimizer for code and agents
And we’re just getting started. If you’re excited about building a future with open agents, say hi!
We're supported by investors like Nvidia, Simon Last (co-founder of Notion), and Eric Schmidt (former CEO of Google), with $200M raised at over $1B valuation.
