You should join koodos labs for the people and our mission.
We aspire to build the best team of the 2020s. Just like PayPal in the 90s, Google in the 00s, and Stripe in the 10s, we want to be known as "a place where it's good to be from." If you join us, we promise to be the best place to grow your career — with the best people you've ever worked with. We're also working on a very bold mission.
We care deeply about helping people connect more deeply with themselves and others. And in the spirit of personal empowerment, we aim to invert the internet's data model over time and put individuals in control of their digital identities.
We're the Context Company. Context is what turns generic AI into personalized intelligence. It's all the signals available to a product: environmental cues, device state, user history, intent. Context is what transforms a cold machine into something that knows and understands you.
koodos is building Shelf, a user-controlled data store used several times a week by millions of people to track what they’re consuming and keep up with what others are into. It connects to any platform, aggregates your credentials and consumption data, learns from your activity, and, eventually, will let you share that context with services for more personalized experiences. koodos labs lets you store your digital life in one place — then take it anywhere.
The future is personalized experiences powered by user-controlled context. We're building a future where apps and services come to you and your memory—not the other way around. See our latest paper here.
We believe personalization effects are the new network effects.
The better an experience understands and adapts to you, the more irreplaceable it becomes. Also, the smartest AI won’t live in a warehouse of GPUs, but right where your context already lives: on your device. The future is hybrid - cloud scale meets local intelligence.
We need someone who can define what understanding means — and build the systems that make it real.
This is a foundational hire. As the Founding Applied AI Engineer, you’ll work directly with our CEO, CTO and founding team to explore, define, and deliver the insights that power Shelf’s personalization, recommendations, and APIs for external partners. You’ll prototype fast, experiment broadly, and help shape the intelligence layer that makes Shelf’s context useful — for individuals, for developers, and for agents.
And the next leap in personalization won’t happen in the cloud — it’ll happen closer to you.
