About Klu.ai
We're building a platform that helps developers create leading AI apps and features. Our goal is to empower developers to create the next million customized models with their data.
LLM app development is changing how engineers work with models, combining code, prompts, and datasets, and iteratively improving with frequent prompt improvements, evaluations, and model fine-tuning.
In many cases, prompt collaboration happens across technical and non-technical domain experts. Developers integrate Klu.ai into their development lifecycle and domain experts make frequent prompt improvements. This allows them to run daily experiments with detailed analysis and feedback.
Our team includes AI, design, and product veterans who have scaled multiple companies and led teams at Productboard, Skyscanner, Amazon, and AgentHQ. We’re builders, explorers, and care deeply about helping our users build amazing products.
We're backed by Firstminute Capital and leading founders/experts.
Role Mission
Klu is currently multi-cloud, multi-region, and processing millions of events per month, growing 60% MoM since the first app launched in March 2023.
At this rate, we’ll be at 300 million events per month next year.
We're seeking a software engineer experienced in building high-performance data processing systems at massive scale. Our platform sends complex, semi-structured data for processing and analysis in real-time.
You are likely an expert in distributed database systems, compilers, networks, or storage systems and want to apply this knowledge to the AI field. You'll have a significant impact on the foundational system architecture, technology choices, and implementation.
With our team's deep expertise in database and ML systems, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate closely and explore your own ideas.
Everyone at Klu.ai writes code. We are building a remote-first culture with in-person summits and low-key meetups several times per year. We provide competitive salary and equity compensation.
