Shared-experience AI for belonging and connection
We're looking to hire exceptionally swaggy product engineers to help build the world's coolest mutual friend from our studio in the heart of Mission, SF.
So far, AI has largely been a story of efficiency and doom. Eigen is a fast-growing group of artists, engineers, designers, and writers who believe in a different story. If you want to join us in our fight against entropy, we'd love to hear from you.
You might be a good fit if you:
have made something people want
care as much about how it feels as how it works
like to own ambiguous problems end to end
you're the coolest person in your friend group
Expect difficult problems, talented and interesting colleagues, and long nights. If selected, you'll receive a competitive salary (90th percentile), a generous equity grant, help obtaining work authorization in the US, as well as excellent health benefits.
Eigen is backed by $15M from Benchmark, Ben Silbermann, Gustav Söderström, and tastemakers from Atlantic Records, Warner, and CAA (Fortune, Dialectic Podcast, Early Days).
What Eigen does: Eigen builds consumer AI software that acts as a mutual friend to foster belonging and human connection rather than replacing real relationships. How it works: it provides shared, synchronous experiences guided by emotional intelligence, offering nudges and opportunities to show up for others and to connect with people beyond one's immediate circle. It sits at the intersection of AI and social connection, aiming to widen real relationships through pro-social, collaborative interactions. How it differs: unlike single-user, hyper-personalized chatbots or isolated feeds, Eigen emphasizes group-oriented, real-world social experiences and friend-of-a-friend connections that strengthen existing relationships. Its software is designed to expand users’ social worlds, not maximize solitary engagement. Goals: to help people feel they belong and grow together by leveraging AI to support meaningful, human-centered interactions.
