ABOUT WHITE CIRCLE

White Circle https://whitecircle.ai/ is an AI Safety company building the safety, reliability, and optimization layer for AI systems. At the core of our platform are policies – simple natural-language rules that define what an AI model should and shouldn’t do. We automatically test, enforce, and continuously improve these policies at scale.

• We’ve raised $11M from top funds, founders, and senior leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Mistral, DeepMind, Datadog, Sentry, and others
• We process over 100M+ API calls every month
• We fine-tune and train our own LLMs so they run faster and cheaper than any open or proprietary model

We’re at a multi-million dollar run rate already having signed customers like Lovable and multiple neobanks. You’ll be joining at the most exciting time - early enough that the equity can be life changing but at a point where demand has been proven.

• Work closely with CEO & Head of Revenue on strategic opportunities
• Provide structured customer feedback to product and engineering teams
• Help develop the messaging, sales process, and playbooks that will support future growth
