The Essence of this Position

moment helps people learn to cook through an innovative personal coaching service powered by multimodal AI (text, vision, audio). Challenges at moment are not about incremental improvements. We need engineers who can identify the gap between the ideal learning experience and current AI capabilities, then narrow that gap by solving the points of greatest impact.

As an AI Engineer specializing in Conversational AI, you will design, implement, and optimize intelligent dialogue systems that create engaging, natural, and context-aware interactions. You will leverage cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs) to build robust conversation flows that enhance the user experience through natural language.
