General Intuition & Medal, New York City
Billions of gameplay clips a year come in on one side. Large action models and world models train and serve on the other. Everything in between - the pipelines that turn raw footage into training data, the clusters that consume it, the storage and I/O that keeps them fed, the runtime that serves the results - is infrastructure, and it is what you own.
We weigh two routes in the same. Either you spent years deep in infrastructure at a large tech company or a serious lab, then left to build your own thing as founder, co-founder, or founding engineer, and you've been at it for at least a year. Or you've spent five or six years going deep on hard infrastructure inside a big company or lab, you own a system people have heard of, and you're ready for a place where you decide what gets built. Either way, you're still writing code today and you want to keep writing it.
You'll work directly with the founding team, at a company small enough that the decisions are yours to make.
Kubernetes, multi-region. GPUs across cloud providers. Python and Go, with Rust and C++ where performance demands it. Terraform. In-house frontier models: action models, world models, video understanding.
We are not dogmatic about any of this. If you think we've made the wrong call somewhere, that's a conversation we want to have in the interview.
General Intuition is the frontier lab for acting in space and time. We build large action models and world models that can perceive, predict, and act across virtual and physical environments. General Intuition builds on the strength of Medal, the world's largest and fastest-growing platform for gaming clips, where millions of gamers capture, share, and discover new games every year. We've raised over $650M from Khosla, GC, Valor, and Point72 since October 2025, and recently closed our latest round at a $6.2B valuation.
