Sequen AI logo

Senior Research Engineer – Search & Recommendation Ranking

Sequen AI

The first Behavior Design Engine for the enterprise. Sequen isn’t retrofitted AI search or recommendations. It rethinks relevance from first principles. Sequen introduces the first foundational Large Event Model (LEM), trained on billions of user event sequences and built natively on a reinforcement learning infrastructure. LEMs are specialized neural networks that predict the next user event—just as LLMs predict the next word. Sequen’s LEMs are pre-trained on billions of user-site interactions and fine-tuned to optimize for the outcomes you care about. No more fixed pipelines with fragmented infrastructure. Sequen replaces them with a single endpoint that adaptively handles all phases of personalization via LEMs and memory models—all through a sub-25ms API.
