About Keye

The Smartest Private Equity Investor. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

You'll build the AI systems top PE funds run live deals on. Ingestion that structures chaotic data rooms. Agents that run deterministic analysis on top. Review surfaces that make model output trustworthy enough for an investment committee. Evals, retrieval, tool use, orchestration — held to the bar of a real deal clock.

What they're looking for

  • You think in systems and ship in days. You know when to build the abstraction and when to skip it
  • You've succeeded at something hard and can point to it. A company you started. A team you led. A product people used. A bar you cleared that most didn't
  • You've built and operated production systems that broke, and you fixed them. Not prototypes. Not side projects. Real consequences
  • Broad across the stack. No layer is someone else's problem
  • Languages/tools: Python/React shop. We care less about stack fluency than systems instincts across the stack
  • Obsessive about testing. E2E, integration, browser — you don't ship without them, and you don't trust anyone who does
More about this role

Keye is building the diligence layer private equity has always needed and never had. Today it does the work of an analyst, at the bar of an investment committee, on the clock of a two-week deal — 80% of the work in under five minutes, against a process that otherwise takes weeks. Firms use it to kill bad deals earlier and save millions in third-party diligence costs. Tomorrow it watches the deal after you sign. Benchmarks it against every comp in the market. Alerts you before the thesis breaks.

Not a faster analyst. A second brain with a hundred years of scars and a live pulse on every industry it touches — built by a team that's been on the other side of the table. Four acquisitions as early employees. Twenty-plus years in M&A investing. Engineers out of Tesla, Goldman, Vista, and McKinsey, with technical DNA from AI robotics, drug discovery, and ecommerce.

Top-10 PE funds already run diligence on Keye. $1.4T+ in AUM on the platform. 600% growth in six months. Backed by Sorenson Capital, General Catalyst, and Y Combinator.
