About the job
Innovation in the corporate world is undergoing a transformation. The existing systems designed to cultivate and safeguard innovation are unable to keep pace with rapid changes. Currently, 90% of the value of S&P 500 companies is intangible, primarily in the form of intellectual property, yet R&D and IP teams devote 50% of their time on tedious manual tasks, navigating through patents and documentation instead of advancing new ideas. Our mission is to revolutionize this process.
At Ankar, we are developing the AI operating system for innovation, transforming how organizations create and secure their inventions. Our platform streamlines the transition of ideas into defensible intellectual property through a comprehensive suite of AI-powered modules, including patent drafting, office action responses, and infringement detection.
We are at a pivotal moment:
We have raised over $24M from leading venture capitalists such as Atomico, Index Ventures, and Norrsken, along with notable angel investors like the Founder of Hugging Face and executives from Datadog and OpenAI.
Our clientele includes some of the world's most innovative firms, such as Fortune 500 giant L’Oréal and the global law firm Vorys.
We are expanding our exceptional team, which includes alumni from Palantir, Amazon, and BCG, to tackle the immense $1T+ innovation market. We are just getting started.
We are looking for driven individuals to join our team who are ready to take ownership of challenging projects, address complex high-impact problems, and achieve their best work. This role is perfect for a Senior Software Engineer/Tech Lead who excels in ownership, speed, and influence, and who desires to develop products in close collaboration with users.
Key Responsibilities:
Create exceptional products. Design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable systems and user-centric product experiences that our customers rely on.
Transform complex challenges into reliable software. Utilize first principles to convert ambiguous requirements into clear, maintainable, production-ready solutions.
Deliver swiftly and iterate continuously. Launch quickly, gather real feedback, and refine the product iteratively with direct customer input.
Oversee complete project execution. Assume full responsibility for projects encompassing frontend, backend, and deployment—from design to implementation.
