More about this role

Technology is no longer the limiting factor for automating knowledge work. Deployment is. A frontier lab ships a capability, and 18 months later a handful of Fortune 500s have it in production and everyone else has a pilot. The gap isn't model quality. It's that deploying AI into a real business means learning a workflow nobody wrote down, integrating with software from 2003, and hitting a reliability bar the model alone doesn't meet.

Ventura closes the deployment gap for industrial operations, as a configurable product, not a consulting engagement. We started with one product: quoting and order entry for industrial distributors. We're live with customers doing billions in revenue, moving thousands of truckloads of material across the U.S. every day. Those customers are already asking us to automate the next five processes.

We've grown from zero to profitability and are now building the team to go much bigger. We’re in person, in San Francisco.
