Requirements
  • Proven expertise delivering production-grade DevOps solutions in highly regulated, enterprise artificial intelligence environments.
  • Expert-level mastery of cloud platforms including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure, along with infrastructure-as-code tooling.
  • Deep experience with Kubernetes at scale, including multi-cluster environments, graphics processing unit workloads, and service-mesh integration.
  • Strong skill in building observability pipelines that combine metrics, tracing, business key performance indicators, and service-level objective monitoring.
  • Extensive background designing and operating continuous integration and continuous delivery systems and Temporal workflow clusters for reliable releases.
  • Hands-on knowledge of security automation, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and compliance frameworks.
  • Ability to translate ambiguous business requirements into concrete, safe production architectures.
  • Sound judgment and clear communication with cross-functional stakeholders, including senior engineering and compliance leaders.
  • Ability to work with an AI-native velocity as a default mode of working.
Responsibilities
  • Own end-to-end reliability for multi-region, multi-tenant deployments by defining service-level objectives and driving continuous improvement.
  • Design cloud and Kubernetes infrastructure that supports graphics processing unit scheduling, multi-cluster management, and secure tenant isolation.
  • Build a unified observability framework that aggregates application metrics, tracing, business key performance indicators, and alerts across all services.
  • Deliver continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines and Temporal workflow orchestration that enable rapid, safe releases and durable execution.
  • Improve security posture by implementing automated secrets rotation, vulnerability scanning, and compliance checks aligned with financial regulations.
  • Collaborate with engineering, data science, and compliance teams to translate ambiguous requirements into production-ready infrastructure solutions.
  • Own incident response processes, conduct post-mortems, and embed learnings into the platform to reduce mean time to recovery.
  • Improve operational efficiency by automating routine tasks and driving AI-native infrastructure automation practices.

kAIgentic is a platform of agentic AI for banking and financial services that orchestrates autonomous AI agents—such as Customer Experience, Compliance, Knowledge, and Operations—to handle tasks within strict regulatory rules. It integrates with a bank’s core systems to access account data and transactions, enabling contextual, proactive guidance across digital and voice channels; it supports open-source models or Kasisto’s KaiGPT, hosted on-premise or in a private cloud. A key differentiator is its compliance-first design with governance, audit logging, and security to prevent AI hallucinations by grounding outputs in real-time APIs and bank-tuned models. The service targets banks and credit unions, offering customizable agents for specific workflows with deployment flexibility, backed by a Kasisto-SMFG joint venture headquartered in Singapore.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • SMBC Group announced JPY 1 trillion IT spending in April 2026, expanding AI budgets.
  • kAIgentic launched in June 2026 with $10 million and immediate enterprise credibility from SMFG.
  • Ahmed Mazhari brings Microsoft APAC leadership and Genpact operator experience across regulated enterprises.

What critics are saying

  • SMFG controls the cap table; a strategy shift in 2027 can suffocate kAIgentic.
  • No public non-SMBC customers exist, leaving revenue dependent on one bank.
  • Banking AI faces IBM, Microsoft, Google, and Nuance; 2026 procurement cycles crush newcomers.

What makes kAIgentic unique

  • SMFG owns majority stake since November 13, 2025, making kAIgentic customer-zero-backed.
  • It runs inside live SMBC workflows, not sandbox demos, with regulated banking telemetry.
  • Kasisto's platform is purpose-built for financial services, embedding compliance, audit logs, and core-system access.

Ex-Microsoft APAC president launches kAIgentic with $10M from SMBC Group to build AI for global enterprises

Former Microsoft APAC president Ahmed Mazhari has launched kAIgentic, an agentic AI startup for enterprise operations, with $10 million funding from SMBC Group, a Japanese multinational financial giant. Headquartered in Singapore with engineering operations in India, the company is building AI deployment infrastructure for large-scale enterprises. kAIgentic will begin operations with SMBC Group as its first customer, testing AI systems within real banking workflows before expanding to other sectors. The platform builds domain-specific AI agents that run under continuous human supervision in live production environments. The launch targets India's enterprise AI market, projected to reach $71 billion by 2030 within a broader $126 billion AI market. kAIgentic's governance structure includes a three-member board balancing startup agility with banking oversight, with plans to expand into healthcare, retail and telecommunications.
