Work at Verterra
Building Intelligence. Shaping the Future.
We are a small team with a shared belief in the future of AI. At Verterra, you won't just be working on AI — you'll be helping define its future.
Our mission is to solve intelligence and, in doing so, transform how humans and machines interact. From Assisted Reality to Autonomous Driving to Robotics, we see these as one problem — one that, when solved, will unlock limitless possibilities.
If you're driven by first principles, thrive in ambiguity, and want to work alongside some of the brightest minds in AI, this is where you belong.
Our Core Values
Integrity
Words and actions should be aligned. We operate with honesty and transparency — internally and externally. Trust is our foundation.
First Principles Thinking
Question assumptions. Seek truth. Build from the ground up. We challenge conventional wisdom and reimagine solutions from scratch.
Speed with Precision
Move fast, but don't just break things — understand them first. We balance rapid iteration with deep technical rigor.
Radical Ownership
If you see a problem, you own it. Everyone here is empowered to make an impact, take initiative, and drive solutions.
Humility & Learning
The smartest person in the room is the one willing to learn the most. We value curiosity, debate, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge.
Long-Term Thinking
We're not here for incremental improvements. We're here to redefine what's possible. We invest in research and technology that will matter for decades to come.
Why Join Verterra?
We're at the forefront of AI research and productization, tackling the hardest problems in intelligence — and we take care of our people so they can focus on what truly matters.
Competitive salary in the 90th percentile+.
Health, dental and vision insurance for you and your family.
401K with 6% salary matching.
Unlimited sick days, 30 days of vacation and generous parental leave.
Best hardware, compute, and research tools available.
We work hard, but we also believe in taking the time to step back, think, and bond as a team.
Our Hiring Process
