About poolside

In this decade, the world will create artificial intelligence that reaches human level intelligence (and beyond) by combining learning and search. There will only be a small number of companies who will achieve this. Their ability to stack advantages and pull ahead will determine who survives and wins. These companies will move faster than anyone else. They will attract the world's most capable talent. They will be on the forefront of applied research and engineering at scale. They will create powerful economic engines. They will continue to scale their training to larger & more capable models. They will be given the right to raise large amounts of capital along their journey to enable this.

poolside exists to be one of these companies - to build a world where AI will drive the majority of economically valuable work and scientific progress.

We believe that software development will be the first major capability in neural networks that reaches human-level intelligence because it's the domain where we can combine Search and Learning approaches the best.

At poolside we believe our applied research needs to culminate in products that are put in the hands of people. Today we focus on building for a developer-led increasingly AI-assisted world. We believe that current capabilities of AI lead to incredible tooling that can assist developers in their day to day work. We also believe that as we increase the capabilities of our models, we increasingly empower anyone in the world to be able to build software. We envision a future where not 100 million people can build software but 2 billion people can.

About our team

We are a remote-first team that sits across Europe and North America and come together once a month in-person for 3 days and over longer offsites twice a year.

The people, finance and ops team is not an overhead team, we're commercially oriented and are delivering products where poolside is our customer and our team are our users.

On the front-end, we are very conscious of the UX/UI - we aim to create processes and select tools that are easy to use and will boost productivity and collaboration.

On the back-end, we are a highly knowledgeable team who prioritizes automation and builds for scalability. We will improve and update our processes, tools and materials as we grow, taking into account the team's ongoing feedback and data.
