About the role

RamAIn builds the world's fastest computer-use agents for enterprise
work. We're a YC W26 company on a mission to eliminate repetitive,
manual workflows by training AI agents that operate legacy systems,
desktop apps, and web portals the same way humans do - but 10x faster
and more reliably.

Founders

RamAIn was founded by Shourya Vir Jain (CEO) and Vansh Ramani (CTO),
who met at IIT Delhi and dropped out to build AI-native automation
for enterprise workflows.

Shourya previously worked at McKinsey, where he saw firsthand how
much enterprise work still depends on manual interaction with legacy
systems. He is also a FIDE-rated chess player (2118), was ranked
top-20 globally under 16, having previously built and scaled an
enterprise AI company to over 6-figures in ARR.

Vansh is an AI researcher who worked at CMU on scalable machine
learning and representation learning. His research includes
publications at ICLR and ACS, and "Panaroma," one of the fastest
vector search algorithms, later merged into Meta's FAISS. He focuses
on building high-performance reasoning and planning systems for
real-world deployment.

Together, they started RamAIn to build the fastest computer-use
agents for enterprise work - combining deep research with
production-grade systems that operate reliably across messy,
real-world software environments.

Role

We're hiring an early-career Founding AI/ML researcher to join our
core team and help build agents that reason, plan, and execute
complex workflows autonomously. This role sits at the intersection of
cutting-edge research and production systems - you won't just
prototype ideas, you'll ship them to real enterprise customers.

You might be a strong fit you have a Bachelor's degree with
exceptional hands-on experience building agentic systems or have
recently completed a PhD or Master's in machine learning, AI,
robotics or RL pipelines, multimodal models, or a related field.

What you'll work on

* Designing planning and reasoning architectures for long-horizon
computer-use agents
* Training multimodal models that understand UI layouts, screenshots,
and DOM structures
* Building fast action-selection systems that operate across messy,
real-world software
* Improving reliability, latency, and robustness of deployed agents
* Running experiments and rapidly shipping improvements to production

Expectations

This is not a research-only role. Within your first few weeks, you'll
be shipping models, running experiments on real workflows, and seeing
your work automate production tasks used by enterprise teams.

We're looking for someone who

* Moves quickly from idea - experiment - deployment
* Has built real AI agent orchestration systems
* Is excited about agentic AI, reasoning systems, experimentation or
automation
* Thrives in a fast-moving early-stage startup environment

You'll work directly with the founders to push the frontier of
computer-use agents and help define a new category of AI-native
enterprise automation.

About RamAIn

Imagine your AI could literally do work by taking actions on the
screen!

RamAIn builds the world's fastest computer-use agents for enterprise
work. We're a YC W26 company on a mission to eliminate repetitive,
manual workflows from enterprise teams - automating legacy systems,
desktop apps, and web portals with AI that operates just like a human
at the keyboard. We move fast, think deeply, and build things that
matter.
