ABOUT REFUGE AI:

Refuge AI was founded on a shared vision: We want everyone to have the opportunity to

build a new great life for themselves, regardless of their starting point. We see far too

many, facing immense challenges and they are often finding solutions all on their own.

After a major setback, they are looking for a job, trying to find a place to live, or simply

looking for their next meal. Particularly the people who have just become homeless can

find it difficult to identify what resources are available to them.

That's where Refuge Ai hopes to help. We envisioned a single, intuitive app that would act

as a trusted friend and guide, putting essential resources directly into the hands of those

who need them most. We wanted to do more than merely provide a list of addresses; we

offer a digital hub that empowers, encourages, and facilitates their first steps toward

stability and success.

Refuge Ai strives to attract and retain the best individuals and provide an environment where they can all grow professionally and build a rewarding career. We continually strive to create an environment that balances work life and offers benefits that will enhance the compensation package. We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. Applicants are considered for all positions without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, ancestry, marital or veteran status.
