Applied AI Engineer
ABOUT US
Pickle is building the future of human connection, starting with your AI clone.
In a world where reach is abundant but depth is rare, we’re rethinking how people express themselves and form meaningful relationships. Our goal is ambitious: to give everyone a living, human-like digital clone that can think, speak, and feel like you, so you can scale who you are, not just what you do.
We’re a small team of builders, designers, and researchers backed by Y Combinator, NFX, Krew Capital, and BASS Ventures. We move fast, work hard, and care deeply. Our culture is built on intensity, imagination, and long-term craftsmanship. We believe this is the start of a new era—where the digital self becomes an extension of the human self—and we’re here to shape it from first principles.
Our mission is to help people scale strong ties by scaling the self.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Pickle is looking for exceptional AI engineers to help us build the first truly human AI clone—real time, expressive, and persistent across voice, video, and memory. As a founding researcher, you’ll work at the frontier of multimodal learning, diffusion models, NeRFs, and real-time generation. Your work will shape how clones understand context, express emotion, and adapt over time, thus bringing deeply personal, interactive AI to life.
ABOUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES
Research and develop multimodal models that combine voice, video, and text to create deeply human-like AI clones.
Push the frontier on expressiveness and realism using techniques like diffusion models, NeRFs, and 3DGS.
Prototype and fine-tune models for real-time performance, identity preservation, and long-term contextual memory.
Collaborate closely with engineers and designers to bring cutting-edge research into a seamless, user-facing product.
