About the role
We're hiring an AI Engineer to build the core Kanu platform. You'll work across the stack — backend, AI agents, and cloud automation — on the three pillars of the product: data ingestion and flexible, user-defined ontologies; the intelligence layer (extraction agents with citations, skills, and modules that capture how organizations reason); and generative outputs, where the agent builds whatever the work requires.
What they're looking for
- Design, build, and maintain full-stack features: backend APIs, agent orchestration, LLM integration and optimization, evals, and cloud integrations
- Build the platform primitives — document extraction with citation and conflict resolution, flexible entity ontologies, reusable skills and logic modules, and generative outputs (dashboards, documents, client portals)
- Work directly with real customer workflows and iterate rapidly on practitioner feedback
- Collaborate with product and GTM teams to deliver enterprise-ready, human-in-the-loop experiences
- Improve reliability, performance, and testing coverage across the platform
More about this role
Every business, reduced to its essence, is three things: the data it gathers, the logic it applies, and the artifacts it produces. Kanu is an AI-agent platform that automates all three — it doesn't assist the business, it runs the work of the business.
Kanu began as the AI Cloud Engineer: an agent system that autonomously builds, deploys, and validates production infrastructure and large codebases inside a customer's own cloud account. Working with enterprise customers surfaced the insight the company is now built on — every business reduces to data, intelligence, and artifacts — so we aimed that engine at the core of business itself. Today the platform ingests the documents and emails flowing through an organization, applies the organization's own reasoning through governed, reusable AI modules, and generates finished outputs — deliverables, dashboards, models, client-facing artifacts, even full websites and forms — with a human approving every consequential step.
Adoption at our flagship customer has grown nearly 10x in the past months.
