## 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
