About Haize Labs
Today's AI has a jagged intelligence surface. It is superhuman on well-defined benchmarks like the International Math Olympiad, but falls short in many real world domains.
Haize Labs brings superintelligence to the long tail of these domains through our agent foundry, which enables agent performance at parity with or better than domain experts.
Our agents are being deployed across many, many verticals. We are hiring a Vertical AI Lead to "own the P&L" of our agent deployments in each vertical. This role spans engineering (rapidly building AI agents), product (embedding with customers to understand their pain), GTM (unlocking distribution and winning sales), and customer management (scoping, planning, relationship-building).
