Machine Learning Engineer ABOUT LIGHTFIELD Lightfield is an AI-native CRM that assembles itself from your email, calendar, and meetings. It captures every interaction and turns it into organized context: accounts, tasks, follow-ups, and insights, so nothing slips through the cracks. We’re rethinking CRM from first principles.

We’re building the CRM platform we always wished existed: fast, intelligent, and genuinely helpful.
