Your work will be both highly interdisciplinary and firmly grounded in engineering rigor. On any given day, you might:

Harness AI agents to research high-stakes policy and regulatory issues pertaining to Perplexity.

Build automated platforms for harvesting, prioritizing, and patenting Perplexity's inventions, in collaboration with our AI researchers and intellectual property attorneys.

Work hands-on with our Legal team and outside counsel in support of high-tech litigation matters in U.S. federal court.

Engineer privacy and compliance systems that efficiently scale with our growing portfolio of frontier AI products (such as Comet and Computer).

Contribute to regulatory filings and responses that require impeccable command of AI technology, Perplexity's own systems, and the broader policy landscape.

Embed with our People team to implement first-party software solutions for recruiting, labor compliance, and performance management.

Participate in meetings with Capitol Hill, executive branch officials, international partners, and civil society as a subject-matter expert on both AI technology and policy.

The above is a small sampling of activities; no two days will be the same, and your work will take you to all corners of our company. You'll interact each day with Perplexity's senior leaders, who will come to rely on you as a creative problem solver for simple and complex matters alike.
