About X5 Labs
X5 Labs is a stealth-mode AI startup building a work model for regulated enterprises: an ambient discovery platform that learns how employees actually work and then augments their workflows with custom AI models deployed end to end inside the customer's environment. It focuses on large regulated enterprises, primarily top-tier banks and financial institutions.

- Work daily with the Israel-based engineering team to merge customer-specific work into the main product.
- Own production deployments, integrations and reliability in a regulated enterprise environment.
- Serve as the go-to technical contact for the bank's engineering stakeholders.
- Troubleshoot complex production issues end to end with high independence.
