About WerQ AI & This Opportunity:

At WerQ AI, we’re building the world’s first Career Intelligence & Relationship Management™ (CIRM™) platform to put professionals at the center of their own career ecosystem. With deep agentic AI designed to work for you, not against you, we automate repetitive and tedious workflows, freeing your time to focus on what truly matters: your skill growth, your connections, and future-proofing your career.

We entered beta last month and are actively enhancing our platform with valuable feedback from our early testers. As we prepare for our public launch and raise our seed round (expected to close in February 2025), we’re planning to build our team.
