AI / Systems Engineer (AI-Native) - REMOTE (US)
Compensation: $120K–$150K base + meaningful equity
Location: REMOTE (US)
Visa: Sponsorship available
Type: Full-time
About Emergences Labs
Emergences Labs is a VC-backed startup building NeoHuman, a desktop system that observes how people actually use AI tools during real work and turns those sessions into reliable evaluation evidence. Closest mental models: Screenpipe, Rewind, OpenAdapt — but built for AI competency assessment, not personal recall.
About the Role
You'll own desktop capture (macOS + Windows), trace fusion, the evaluation evidence pipeline, and LLM normalization. This sits at the boundary of OS APIs, multimodal data capture, LLM-based normalization, and assessment.
What You'll Build
- Cross-platform capture: AX/UIA trees, OCR snapshots, clipboard, keyboard/mouse, file interactions
- Trace fusion that turns noisy low-level signals into clean session timelines
- Evidence pipeline (Postgres + Supabase) with explicit confidence and gap tracking
- LLM normalization that summarizes without hallucinating
- Privacy/consent/proctoring safety for enterprise customers
Requirements
- 3+ years production TypeScript + Node.js
- Built desktop software, ideally Electron + native helpers
- Strong Postgres (schema design, indexing, data quality)
- Comfortable with OS APIs, permissions, background processes, cross-platform differences
- Hands-on LLM API experience (structured output, evaluation)
- AI-native — Claude Code or Cursor are your daily working medium, not a curiosity
Bonus
- macOS AX / ScreenCaptureKit / CGEventTap
- Windows UI Automation
- Prior work on Screenpipe / OpenAdapt / Rewind / proctoring / RPA / session replay
