More than 1,000 industry leaders across Generative AI, Embodied AI, and Automotive AI rely on us to power their data pipelines. With our headquarters in Silicon Valley and teams in Paris, Singapore, and Tokyo, we support global partners with fast, reliable, and scalable data solutions.

About the Role We’re hiring a Research Marketing Associate to help connect Abaka AI’s research and technical work with the audiences who care about it. You’ll work closely with our research and marketing teams to turn papers, project updates, and technical ideas into clear, accurate, and engaging content.

This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys social media, writes well, pays close attention to details, and is curious about AI. You don’t need to be a researcher, but you should be comfortable asking technical teammates questions and learning enough to represent their work accurately.
