Teams at Shade Inc.

Identify and prospect target accounts in media and entertainment, qualify inbound/outbound leads, conduct high-volume personalized outreach, set discovery/demo meetings, maintain CRM records, hand off opportunities to AEs, collaborate on messaging and go-to-market materials, provide market feedback, and support events and outbound process building.

Build and own the desktop/frontend experience for a media-focused platform: modernize the design system and component library, optimize Chromium renderer performance for streaming 4K media, implement IPC integrations with a kernel-level filesystem, ship Electron release workflows and auto-updates, and collaborate with design to unify types across web, desktop, and mobile.

Design and own Shade's large-scale multimodal search stack: decide what to index and how, build LLM re-ranking and hybrid retrieval, operate vector pipelines and continuous re-indexing, create eval harnesses, and optimize for precision and cost at petabyte scale. Integrate with the Python backend and pgvector, evaluate trade-offs for caching, chunking, and backfills, and ship production-quality retrieval systems end-to-end.
