✍🏽 About Thrifty AI

Thrifty AI is building artificial humans — AI-powered characters that can see, hear and understand. They look like us, talk like us and behave like us. Our vision is to expand human capacity with AI that is secure, reliable, and trustworthy enough for enterprises and governments to run real work on. We build end to end: the agents, the platform that grounds them in a company’s own data, and the guardrails that keep people in control of every decision that matters.

With hubs across the USA, India, the UAE and Australia, our team thinks big and moves fast, and we’re looking for smart, hardworking builders and scalers to join us on our journey to create a better future of work with AI.

🛣 Where we come from

• Thrifty AI was co-founded by Harsh Jha while he was still in 12th grade — building “Artificial Humans” long before agentic AI was a category. His obsession isn’t how intelligent AI can become, it’s how secure, reliable, and trustworthy it is, and that conviction shapes everything we ship.

🎯 Why it's the perfect time to join

• We’re thoughtfully and rapidly scaling our team. There's a lot of room to contribute and grow an enduring company at the frontier of human-AI interaction. You'll have unquestionably made it happen.
• The work you'll do will have a direct impact on the organizations we partner with — and make work more enjoyable for the people who depend on us to meet their goals.
• Build it, nail it, scale it. If you like helping turn dirt paths into smooth roads, now is the perfect time to join.

🤓 What we're like

• We connect. We bring our whole selves to work. We're a diverse group on multiple dimensions, and we share that with each other.
• We challenge. We're first principles thinkers, and those principles guide our product and GTM decisions. Things you won't hear at Thrifty AI include "Because that's what X wants" or "Company Y does it this way." We're all on the same side as we build Thrifty AI our own way.
• We own. Building a company that achieves escape velocity is hard work. We take full ownership over our schedules and our outcomes, because we believe that's the purest-energy way to work that hard.

🏢 Our hybrid culture:

• We recognize the importance of flexibility and adaptability. Our approach is centered around empowering our team members to choose where they work best, whether it's in the office, at home, or a combination of both.
• Our team members in the USA, India, the UAE and Australia enjoy spending a few days together in the office each week. The office serves not only as a workspace but also as a hub for team-building events, workshops, and collaborative sessions, reinforcing the sense of belonging and shared purpose.
• Our hybrid approach not only positions us as a forward-thinking and employee-centric organization, but also allows us to harness the full potential of our talented and diverse workforce.

Thrifty AI is an equal-opportunity employer and is committed to diversity. We don't make hiring or employment decisions based on race, color, religion, creed, gender, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy, sex, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, citizenship, or any other basis protected by applicable local, state or federal law.
