Jobs at Kagi Search
Full-time positions
Core Back-end Team
- Advanced knowledge of the Crystal language.
- Exceptional problem-solving and coding abilities.
- Crafting products with care
Core Front-end Team
- Passion for creating delightful and swift user interfaces.
- Proficiency in HTML, CSS, and an understanding that JavaScript can be used sparingly to enhance, not create, product experiences.
- You are comfortable not using any FE frameworks, and rather like to be in full control of the DOM and as close to browser as possible.
Fun fact: At Kagi, we prioritize speed, to the point where all functionalities of Kagi Search (except Stripe checkout and Maps) work perfectly without JavaScript. We see JavaScript as a tool to enhance the UX, not create it.
Core ML Team
- Deep understanding of machine learning tools and technologies, whether in the build/deploy or apply/customize layers.
- Demonstrable expertise with modern large language models (LLMs), their deployment and/or advanced prompting techniques.
- Experience in building noteworthy projects utilizing machine learning.
Core Design Team
- Enthusiasm for diving deep into user feedback and discussions to improve UX.
- Meticulous attention to detail in UX design.
- A critical perspective on current search/assistant user interfaces, paired with a desire to revolutionize them.
General conditions
- Flexible working conditions; remote first culture.
- Our journey is filled with exciting challenges and ever-evolving processes. It's a bit of a rollercoaster, not for the feign-hearted.
- Our ambition is enormous, going against industry giants with a very small team. You will work a lot.
- We are completely user funded. Kagi is currently in one village worth of homes. Do not expect VC backed/big-tech salary. Do expect equity as a part of compensation.

- Ability to dedicate 20 hours per week to R&D projects.
- A proactive and self-organized working style, capable of thriving in a "fire & forget" mode.
