We take growth seriously: you ship an AI product every quarter and learn from dozens more. Employees get outsized ownership on each product we build — but you won't get a year to polish the perfect system. The upside is constant time on the frontier of models and tooling, and a muscle for AI product development that's hard to build anywhere else.
We work in small, high-caliber teams building AI products end-to-end in close collaboration with clients. We think this is the best way to become world-class at shipping production AI. It's also not for everyone — we encourage you to use the interview process to hear directly from the team.
We first met as early team members at LiveRamp (NYSE: RAMP) with Travis as CEO, Eddie leading engineering, and Chris driving sales. Post-LiveRamp, we became serial entrepreneurs: Travis founded Datavant (2021 exit: $7B merger), and Eddie and Chris started Wove (2019 exit).
In February 2024, over dinner, we discussed our strong belief in the gen AI hype cycle—the first such cycle we fully embraced. We recognized the widespread challenge enterprises faced in implementing this technology and saw immense value in custom gen AI projects.
Convinced of gen AI's transformative potential—especially in automating complex workflows within large enterprises—we saw a clear need for exceptional engineering and custom solutions. That’s why we launched Fractional AI: to lead AI-powered transformation through custom builds and top engineering talent.

Over “Engineer” the Culture
We’re building the ultimate work environment for great engineers. What do great engineers love most? Working with other great engineers. Our early engineering team is truly incredible and we will never lower the bar. We pick the most exciting projects, avoid maintenance (even when it’s profitable), and we’ll do everything we can to minimize bureaucracy as we scale the team. WWMFBFGE doesn’t have a great ring to it, but it’s currently the north star for the company: What Would Make Fractional Better For Great Engineers?
Overuse AI
Eventually this one might look silly - “Overuse Computers” makes no sense as a company value today. But imagine it in the late 70s and what do you see? We picture a company full of computer power-users dominating their competition for the next 3+ decades. From the outside that company looks terrifying. On the inside it’s a bunch of nerds having fun with computers. We’re building this company. To do this successfully we need to constantly go out of our way to experiment with the latest tools and share what we learn with our teammates. Sometimes gen AI gives you superpowers, and sometimes it fails to be useful. If you aren’t experiencing both on a regular basis, then you aren’t reaching for these tools enough. We need to overdo it a bit to build a culture at the frontier of a technology that’s evolving at lightspeed.
Overdeliver
We succeed on difficult projects where many capable engineers have failed before us. We prioritize excellent code and take pride in deploying solutions that delight our customers. Technically speaking our clients are responsible for maintaining the code we ship, but in reality this distinction hardly matters because so little maintenance is ever required. Our clients will rave about us privately and publicly, during our engagement and long after. Overdelivering is how we’ll build our reputation as the world’s best applied AI engineering team.
Most AI projects never cross the finish line. But at Fractional AI, 100% of our projects are currently in production or on track for production deployment.
