We already have customers, traction and strong relationships in Canada. Your job is to turn that foundation into a market: deepen what’s working, scale it, and make Linkup the default choice for Canadian AI teams.\nThis is a builder role.

Your work will define how Linkup grows beyond its first two markets, and could lead to building and leading the Canada team.\nWe offer a flexible remote-work policy, see the details here.\nAbout Linkup\nOur Vision\nWe believe in a future of AI agents and the agentic web. These digital entities can create more value for humanity than we ever could alone, but they depend on the internet to operate, collaborate, take action, and gather information.\nAI agents need web search. To perform well, they require information that is current, reliable, and context-specific-not the diffuse, steadily aging knowledge frozen at their last training cut-off.\nModern web search is built for humans, not AIs. Instead of trusted facts, it serves links, ads, and click-bait. People want visually engaging pages; AI systems need structured truth. An AI can absorb oceans of data, while human attention barely skims the surface. Humans think visually and intuitively; AI reasons in latent space.\nWeb 2.0 is sunsetting. The deck is being reshuffled, and the Bing-Google search oligopoly is crumbling. Indexing ever more pages is no longer the goal; semantically organizing facts for AI systems is. In the coming agentic web, Google’s ad-driven model has no natural home.\nSearch for AI must be rebuilt from the ground up. We are reconstructing the web as a rigorously structured knowledge layer, mapping every concept, entity, and claim into a coherent semantic graph. This foundation delivers verified facts and rich context to AI instantly, unlocking faster reasoning, higher accuracy, and radically more useful answers for everyone.\nHumans search Google; AI searches Linkup.\nOur Mission\nReality never stands still, and neither should intelligence. Linkup reconnects language models to a living stream of verified facts, ensuring AIs remain as current and insightful as the world they serve.\nOur mission is to deliver the world’s freshest, most trusted knowledge to AIs.\nOur Culture\nOur culture is built on the following values:\nMission. We believe we play a critical role in building the agentic web. We are 100% committed to our mission of bringing the reality of the world to AI agents.\n\nSpeed. We build fast, we build to last. We get things done, well.\n\nOwnership. We empower every team member to take ownership of their projects, ensuring they see them through to successful completion.\n\nTeamwork. Our strength lies in our unity. We rely on one another and embrace our diversity as a core asset.\n\nHumility. We maintain low egos, showing respect for others and continuously learning from their insights and experiences.\n\nWe expect all team member to take an active role in shaping our company culture.\nOur Team\nWe are small technical team, working shoulder to shoulder to build the web of agents.\nA bit more about our 3 co-founders:\nPhilippe Mizrahi- Led the development of Lyft’s Autonomous Vehicles marketplace.
