About us

Ambush is an AI company developing AI research & products that accelerate onchain adoption. We’re building Web3’s first autonomous AI agents to simplify wealth creation & onchain safety.

We’re a lean & hyper performance-oriented team; we are competitive, we like moving fast, and we run head-first towards seemingly impossible ideas. Our entire team is crypto-native & we have a shared North Star of solving web3’s hardest challenges.

Our team is led by one of crypto’s prominent anons, Psycho.

About the role:

We’re hiring a Lead AI/ML Engineer with deep experience designing and deploying real-world AI systems, with a focus in NLP, GenAI, and evaluation systems.

You’ll work directly with our CTO to architect AI infrastructure that powers intelligent, responsive onchain products. Because we’re building crypto-native interfaces with AI at the core, the ideal candidate is fluent in the modern GenAI stack, has opinions on model evaluation, and isn’t afraid to go deep into both product UX and system performance.

No formal crypto work experience is required, although general interest in crypto is a must.

Requirements:

• 4+ years of production AI/ML experience, with a focus on Python, HF Transformers, other NLP tools, and proper evaluations.
• Strong understanding of modern GenAI ecosystems: frontier models, open models, vector databases, embeddings, RAG, prompt orchestration, etc.
• Hands-on experience building evaluation frameworks and benchmarks for AI systems.
• Track record of deploying and maintaining production systems — ideally including non-cloud (local or edge) inference.
• You’re product-minded and comfortable navigating ambiguity across the AI stack.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement complex multi-model AI systems — including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), local model inference, and hybrid pipelines.
• Manage evaluations for open-ended AI tasks (e.g. classification, summarization, question-answering) with clear metrics and iterative feedback loops.
• Contribute to product strategy and help define how AI fits into core user flows.
• Own the full lifecycle: prototyping, productization, monitoring, and iteration.
• Work closely with design and product teams to ship user-facing AI features.
• Stay ahead of the curve on LLM advances, OSS tools, and model performance trends.

Why join Ambush?

• Industry leading pay: strong base salary + uncapped profit share + equity
• Lean & high-impact team; we hate bureaucracy & will not grow past ~10 people
• One of the fastest growing AI companies in crypto
• Proven leadership team with several acquisitions under their belt

Internal full-time hires only, no contractors or agencies
