Careers
Join a team that listens
We are a small, ambitious NYC team building Umi, the AI researcher that turns real frontline conversations into insight leaders act on. Wherever you are coming from, there is a place for you here. Come build something that matters with people who actually care.
One team, one skyline. This is the crew you would be building Umi with.
You belong here
Different people, one shared belief: every voice matters
We are building for the people who keep the real world running, so we are intentional about building a team that reflects it. We welcome different backgrounds, paths, and points of view, and we mean it.
Builders and researchers
Engineers, designers, and researchers who like shipping real things and learning in the open.
Operators at heart
People who have lived close to frontline work and want technology to actually help the people doing it.
Early-career or seasoned
We care more about how you think and how you treat people than the years on your resume.
Different ways we work and unwind
There is no single way to be at Arbor
Focused mornings, shared meals, time to recharge, and rooms full of people shaping AI. Here is what a life at Arbor can look like.
How we work
Deep focus, together
Real problems get real focus. We protect heads-down time, pair when it helps, and trust people to find the rhythm that does their best work — early birds and night owls both welcome.
How we connect
Around the table
Some of our best ideas show up over food. Family-style dinners, shared lunches, and a genuinely kind team make this a place where people feel they can be themselves.
How we recharge
Off the clock
We work hard and then actually log off. Offsites, hobbies, and the occasional axe-throwing rematch keep us balanced — because rested people build better products.
How we grow
Out in the world
We learn in public — at summits, demos, and conferences where the field is moving fastest. When you join, you represent Arbor in rooms full of the people shaping AI.

In good company
Rub shoulders with the people shaping AI
That is us with Yann LeCun, one of the godfathers of AI. We aim high and learn from the best, then bring it home to build things real teams can use. Join us and you will be in those rooms too.
After hours
We celebrate the wins
Ship hard, then actually enjoy it together — game nights, nights out, and the occasional victory lap.
Perks and benefits
Taken care of, so you can do your best work
We invest in the whole person, not just the role.
Meaningful equity
Competitive pay and ownership so everyone shares in what we build together.
Health, covered
Medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents.
Flexible time off
Take the time you need to rest, travel, and show up at your best.
NYC home base
A bright office in New York, with team meals and an in-person heartbeat.
Learning budget
Books, courses, and conferences so you keep growing in your craft.
Top-tier gear
The hardware, tools, and AI you need to do the best work of your career.
Offsites and travel
Regular team offsites and trips to meet the customers we build for.
Parental leave
Supportive leave for new parents as your family grows.
In their words
Why people stay
A few voices from across the team on what makes Arbor different.
I get to work on hard AI problems and still feel like the work means something for real people.
It is the rare place where research, product, and customers are all in the same room.
People listen here — to customers, and to each other. That is harder to find than it should be.
My first week I was already shipping. My ideas actually made it into the product.
Belonging
