Founding Engineer (AI/ML) (f/m/x)
Role Summary
Join Otherworldly as a Founding Engineer specializing in AI/ML to revolutionize artist bookings. Experience required in LLM systems and a passion for music.
About the Organisation
We believe live music is one of the best things humans do, and that far more artists deserve to make a living from it than currently can. That's the opportunity we're building for.
The industry still runs on cold emails and who-knows-who, and it's about to be rebuilt. AI now lets small teams achieve incredible things, and we intend to be the team that rebuilds this one.
Otherworldly is an AI-native talent management and booking company. We run an actual roster, meaning real tours, real riders, real settlements, and we're turning everything we've learned into agentic infrastructure. That means a database of 250,000+ bookers worldwide and algorithmic pitching systems that get the right artist in front of the right promoter at scale.
It's working. We closed our seed round with roster and revenue traction already built. Between us, we've managed No.1 artists and Grammy nominees, led strategy for household-name brands, and founded YC-backed companies.
Key Responsibilities
You'll be the engineering foundation of the platform. Your agents will hold real conversations with real bookers, negotiate real opportunities, and directly determine whether working artists get paid. Specifically:
- Architect and scale the agentic pitching system: multi-agent orchestration that researches bookers, drafts pitches, handles replies, and manages follow-up across thousands of parallel conversations
- Own the full LLM stack end-to-end (prompt architecture, retrieval, evaluation, deployment) with the autonomy of a founding hire and the accountability that comes with it
- Work directly with the founder to turn agency operations into product: every workflow we run manually today is a system you'll build tomorrow
- Ship fast. We'd rather see a good decision made quickly than a perfect one made late
