Job Description

Are you fascinated by the power of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large
Language Models (LLM) to transform the way we interact with technology? Are
you passionate about advanced machine learning techniques (including
Generative AI ones) that can solve complex challenges in building AI-native
applications?

Katanemo is on a mission to build intelligent infrastructure services for
developers building AI-native apps. We are at a critical inflection point in
technology, and that POC-type tools will gave way to well thought out
infrastructure services developers need to build production-grade AI-native
apps. We are working on exciting new infrastructure services needed by
developers to create magical new "single pane of glass" experiencesn for their
users.

The team at Katanemo built serverless compute at AWS and deep learning
infrastructure for Bing commerce, and is bringing their expertise to bear for
builders creating new AI-native experiences. We are looking to add to our
