Recruiter, Talent Aquisition

Who we are. Wynd is an early-stage startup that is working to democratize the future of AI: First, by providing universal access to public web data, and second, by creating a system where ordinary people can participate in the process – and share in the benefits.
Having recently secured seed funding, we are growing FAST and we need help finding curious and talented people in web3, tech, big data, and all manner of unexpected places who resonate with our mission and want to put their effort where their heart is. We are currently focused on building the data layer of AI with Grass, a web extension that runs in a user’s background and sells unused internet to artificial intelligence labs. By running a node with Grass, users become an integral part of AI’s training process, and they are compensated accordingly. The growth of AI is a development of historic significance, and our goal is to distribute the benefits of its growth to everyone – putting the future of the web back in the hands of the people.
