HUD (YC W25) is developing agentic evals for Computer Use Agents (CUAs) that browse the web. Our CUA Evals framework is the first comprehensive evaluation tool for CUAs.
Our Mission: People don't actually know if AI agents are working. To make AI agents work in the real world, we need detailed evals for a huge range of tasks.
We're backed by Y Combinator, and work closely with frontier AI labs to provide agent evaluation infrastructure at scale.
HUD is a fast-growing startup. If you can't find a role on our job board, feel free to suggest a new role, and we'll reach out if we find a good fit. :)

Team Size: ~15 people currently, mostly full-time in-person, but some remote.
Our team: Our team includes 4 international Olympiad medallists (IOI, ILO, IPhO), serial AI startup founders, and researchers with publications at ICLR, NeurIPS etc
Company stage: We have received $2 million in seed funding, plus very strong demand and revenue growth beyond that. We are scaling profitably and fast to meet demand.
Employment: Fulltime preferred, but we're willing to consider internship offers.
Location: Remote-friendly, but if you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area, we do have an office you can work together in. We prioritise applicants who can show up to meetings in Pacific Time (UTC-7:00/8:00) or China/Singapore Time (UTC +8:00).
Visa Sponsorship: We provide support for relocation and visas for strong full-time candidates. For part-time/contract/internship arrangements, we'll work fully remote (which makes things simpler anyway).
Timeline: Applications are rolling. The process should involve 1-2 interviews and take less than a week.
We prioritize operational aptitude and cultural fit. Motivated candidates are encouraged to apply even if they don't meet all criteria.
Due to high volume, we may not actively respond to every application, but feel free to contact us at recruiting@hud.so or elsewhere if we missed your application!
