About Us

Our mission is to raise AGI with the richness of human intelligence — curious, witty, imaginative, and full of unexpected brilliance.

Surge was founded by engineers and researchers who dreamed of building the next generation AI. We're building a platform that powers the most powerful models in the world in partnership with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google.

At Surge, we believe the path to AGI isn't just about scaling compute—it's about embracing the unlimited ceiling of human intelligence and creativity in the data that shapes these systems. Our platform combines elite human expertise with cutting-edge tools for scalable oversight, from building rich RL environments to conducting rigorous evaluations that go beyond benchmarks. We've run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.

What We’re Looking for

• You love building robust, scalable backend systems. You're experienced in designing and implementing efficient data processing pipelines, APIs, and database architectures that can handle large volumes of data.
• You're passionate about performance optimization. You enjoy tackling complex backend challenges and optimizing systems for speed and efficiency.
• You care about the problems we’re trying to solve. You're interested in helping make the next generation of AI models safer and more useful.
• You’re excited about joining a small, growing team. We value autonomy and empower people to do the best work of their career.

Some Examples of the Problems We’re Solving

• What’s the best way to architect large-scale simulated environments that can host hundreds of concurrent agents—each living in its own containerized world—without sacrificing stability or speed?
• How can we build infrastructure that supports high-throughput model training loops and scales to thousands of environments, while keeping every agent’s world consistent, performant, and observable in real time?

How to Apply

To apply, please email careers@surgehq.ai with a resume and 2-3 sentences describing your interest in Surge. We love personal projects and writings too!
