Senior Engineer, Applied Mathematics

ComplexChaos is on a mission to help humanity cooperate at scale. 

We are a pre-seed startup funded by Village Global (a VC chaired by Reid Hoffman and backed by Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and more) and angels including founder/CEO at OpenGov, Google's former Director of Security, and the founders of Mural, Pactum AI, WhatsApp, and others. Some of our advisors are former SVPs of Workday, Symantec, Visa, VMWare, Box, etc.

Alright, let's get into it! ComplexChaos is not just another startup on the block. Oh no, darling, we're here with a grand mission to use AI to help humanity come together and tackle those head-scratchingly complex problems. Sounds like a superhero comic plot, right? But it's real, and it's happening right here at ComplexChaos.

Are you ready to be the superhero of our engineering team?
