About Compresr
Compresr provides an LLM context-compression API that accepts long context plus a query and returns a shorter context containing the answer-bearing tokens. It reduces token count, cost, and latency for LLM calls, and at light compression matches or beats full-context accuracy on public benchmarks. The service is available as a Python SDK, TypeScript SDK, or hosted HTTP API, and is designed for use in agent harnesses such as Claude Code and Cursor. The company is backed by Y Combinator and aims to become a compression layer embedded in most LLM pipelines.

What engineering work involves at an early-stage startup
You own whole parts of the product rather than one service inside a large system. Expect to write the code, deploy it, and get paged when it breaks. Reviews are quick and the codebase is small, so a decision made on Tuesday can ship on Thursday.
