Requirements
  • BS (preferred MS, PhD.) in Computer Science or a related field
  • 3+ years of experience writing production code in C++, Python, Go, or similar languages.
  • Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code development (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Chef, Bash scripting, etc.)
  • Experience with B2B SaaS and architecting experience in building a large-scale distributed system at scale
  • Experience with productionizing cloud applications, including Docker and Kubernetes
  • Experience with CI/CD and advanced packaging, versioning, and deployment strategies
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (e.g., EKS, GKS, AKS, or OpenSource) on public clouds (AWS, GCP) at scale
Responsibilities
  • Build and extend components of the core Kumo Cloud Infrastructure and Kumo infrastructure
  • Define a culture of engineering excellence and operational efficiency, especially as it relates to development and productization
  • Build and automate CI-CD pipelines, release tooling to support continuous delivery, and true zero-downtime deployments across different cloud providers using the latest cloud-native technologies
  • Work on advanced tools developed for the world’s leading cloud-native machine learning engine that uses graph deep learning technology
  • Develop the infrastructure microservices for features such as usage tracking, diagnostics, monitoring, and alerting at the cloud scale
  • Lead automation efforts to streamline global deployment effort
  • Build the Kumo ML Ops platform, which will be able to data drift, track model versions, report on production model performance, alert the team of any anomalous model behavior, and run programmatic A/B tests on production models.

Kumo.ai specializes in creating and deploying predictive models that help organizations make accurate forecasts for critical tasks. Their platform uses Graph Neural Networks to analyze raw relational data, which means it can generate predictions without needing extensive manual data preparation. This approach leads to better accuracy and efficiency while also reducing infrastructure costs by eliminating the need for complex data processing systems. Kumo.ai's platform supports the entire Machine Learning lifecycle, from data preparation to model deployment, and is designed to deliver quick returns on investment for various applications, including customer retention and fraud detection. Unlike many competitors, Kumo.ai offers both Software as a Service and Private Cloud options, making it adaptable for businesses of all sizes. The goal of Kumo.ai is to provide reliable predictive insights that enhance decision-making and operational efficiency for its clients.
