About The Role
At Onton, we’re building the future of product search and discovery. It takes the average shopper 79 days to make a >$50 purchase decision, and we’re taking that to less than 1. You have the chance to build with us Amazon and Google’s replacement as you introduce category-defining paradigms for searching and shopping online, crafting a beautiful decision-making experience that people love and use every day.
You have the opportunity to:
We are remote (today), but not distant. We operate on Pacific Time. We’re building hubs in San Francisco, CA and Salt Lake City, UT so we can connect in person. We’re offering relocation compensation as we build density in these areas.
About Onton
We’re a team of four engineers pioneering the next generation of search. Since launching our product publicly last year, we’ve grown exponentially to hundreds of thousands of users.
More recently, we’ve built the foundation of a neurosymbolic AI in-house that dramatically increases search accuracy. In 2025, we plan to use this technology to expand into new categories and grow to 10M+ MAU.
To support expansion, we’ve raised $10M+ in funding. Our most recent Seed round was led by a top-tier firm and a supporting cast of well-known VCs and individuals with backgrounds from Amazon, Google, Stitch Fix, Whatnot, Stripe, Honey, Shopify, and more!
