# Senior Software Engineer, Applied AI

Who We Are Product: TLDR’s mission is to increase tech's signal-to-noise ratio. Today that means the largest network of tech newsletters in the world, with over 8M subscribers covering startups, software engineering, AI, cybersecurity, product, and more. What makes it work is who writes it. Every issue comes from people building in tech, not reporters covering it. Our writers keep their day jobs: two engineers at Coinbase writeTLDR Crypto, engineers at DeepMind and Meta writeTLDR Dev, researchers at Anthropic and Adobe writeTLDR AI, and robotics and datacenter strategy leads at OpenAI and Meta writeTLDR Hardware. If it matters in tech, it's in TLDR. That's what makes TLDR the best place to find what you need to learn. Team: Our 31-person full-time team includes alumni of TikTok, Reddit, Amazon, Business Insider, Asana, Morning Brew, and Pinterest. We've stayed intentionally small, which means every person here owns a function rather than a slice of one. Traction: We're bootstrapped, profitable, and on track for $35M in revenue this year - after $9M in 2024 and $20M in 2025. The advertisers who fund it want tech's decision-makers: AWS, Google Cloud, Anthropic, Slack, Notion, and Git
