ABOUT 36 LABS
36 Labs is an applied AI research firm in London. It is working on a gap in today's models: they are weak at creative decisions and at explaining why a decision was made. The team's thesis is that if you solve creativity in LLMs, you have largely solved what captures human attention.
The product is a harness that sits over any frontier model, especially video generation models. It runs ideation, generation and distribution end to end. Content goes out to real audiences, and a data loop improves the harness over time.
The company is profitable and works with Sony, Warner and Universal through bespoke marketing partnerships. Marketing is the proof of concept, not the destination. A B2C offering is due very soon. V3 of the harness is being released internally, and it is a big scope of work.
The team is ten people, with four engineers working under a CTO who is still hands-on in the code. The seed round closes in the next couple of weeks. This is a new stage of growth, not a replacement hire.
WHAT YOU ARE EXPECTED TO DO
- Own the upcoming B2C product end to end, from launch: an AI-native, customer-facing product where UX matters as much as the models behind it.
- Lead product engineering: make product calls with the founders, set the bar for how things get shipped, and help shape the team as it grows.
