Business Development Intern

Who Are We?

At Iris.ai, we’re building an agentic AI platform that scales expert-level domain knowledge across entire organizations.

For more than a decade, we’ve worked at the intersection of scientific research, industrial data, and applied AI, helping researchers, engineers, and business teams reason over complex technical knowledge.

Our products - Neuralith, Axion, and RSpace - span the full GenAI lifecycle:

• Data ingestion across text, tables, figures, and technical formats

• Advanced RAG and indexing pipelines

• Agentic orchestration and reasoning

• Rigorous LLM evaluation and governance

What makes us different: we care deeply about accuracy, evaluation, and responsibility. We don’t optimize for demos and proof-of-concepts we optimize for systems that experts trust and use.
