Full job description
About Lightfield Lightfield is an AI-native CRM that assembles itself from your email, calendar, and meetings. It captures every interaction and turns it into organized context: accounts, tasks, follow-ups, and insights, so nothing slips through the cracks.
We’re rethinking CRM from first principles. Instead of forcing teams to maintain rigid systems, Lightfield learns from how companies actually work, adapting, automating, and surfacing the insight that drives growth. We’re building the CRM platform we always wished existed: fast, intelligent, and genuinely helpful.
We are backed by Greylock, Lightspeed, and Coatue, and our founders previously built Tome, a generative AI presentation product used by over 25 million people. Before Lightfield, our team worked on Llama, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Pinterest, Google, and Salesforce.
About the role Lightfield's AI/ML team builds the experiences at the core of our product, developing new applications to wow our customers.
Today, the team is focused on building a powerful, domain-specific AI that outperforms generic LLMs.
We’re inspired by the challenge of creating innovative new AI products for people doing serious work, and we’re looking to grow our AI/ML team to meet that challenge.
