About

At Along AI, we are building the modern context engine, the persistent infrastructure layer that sits between an organization's knowledge and every AI system it uses.

As a Founding Engineer, you'll shape not just what we build, but how. We work in-office in New York City, move fast, and ship together.

The problem

The bottleneck for AI in business was never intelligence. It was memory. It was context.

Teams copy-paste background into prompts, rebuild instructions for every tool, and watch agents go off the rails because they lack institutional knowledge. Today's AI stack has a gaping hole between raw data and capable models, no persistent understanding, no living memory that compounds over time. RAG is a runtime patch, not a solution.

Our solution: the Context Engine

Along AI connects to your systems of record, extracts the knowledge that matters, and organizes it into Kontext Keys — secure, self-contained units of context for a specific use case. One API serves Claude, ChatGPT, your own agents, or any tool in your stack. The same living knowledge graph powers all of them.
