About Fractional AI
What is Fractional AI?
Fractional AI is the best place in the world to learn applied AI — "Most people are lucky to work on one AI product per year. At Fractional, you will work on one product every quarter."
The team is "a group of experienced Silicon Valley builders who care deeply about getting complex AI systems into production" with deep pedigree: "former founders, PhDs, and senior engineers from top engineering teams." The mission: "to build custom AI products that transform businesses." The kicker stat: "Most AI projects never cross the finish line. But at Fractional AI, 100% of our projects are currently in production or on track for production deployment."
The founding story is striking: the leadership team first met as early team members at LiveRamp (NYSE: RAMP) — Travis as CEO, Eddie leading engineering, and Chris driving sales. Post-LiveRamp, the founders became serial entrepreneurs: Travis founded Datavant (2021 exit: $7B merger), and Eddie and Chris started Wove (2019 exit). They launched Fractional AI in February 2024 based on their conviction about the gen AI hype cycle.
Three values frame the culture: Over 'Engineer' the Culture, Overuse AI, and Overdeliver.
Where will I work?
Fractional AI is strictly OnSite — all 12 active roles list a specific office: San Francisco (HQ), New York, Raleigh-Durham (NC), and Dubai. The careers page is explicit: "We work in small, high-caliber teams building AI products end-to-end in close collaboration with clients. We think this is the best way to become world-class at shipping production AI."
What is the Fractional AI team like?
The team profile is unusually deep — "former founders, PhDs, and senior engineers from top engineering teams." Open roles span AI Architect, Associate Principal in AI Transformation, Principal in AI Value Creation & Partnerships, Senior/Staff Software Engineers across all four offices, Forward Deployed Product Managers, and Head of Talent / Talent Partners.
The hiring page is direct that this isn't for everyone: "It's also not for everyone — we encourage you to use the interview process to hear directly from the team." The growth pace is intense: "You won't get a year to polish the perfect system. The upside is constant time on the frontier of models and tooling, and a muscle for AI product development that's hard to build anywhere else."
