Kumo.ai is redefining enterprise AI with foundation models for relational data, enabling organizations to predict, optimize, and act with speed and confidence. The company is launching its new Kumo Relational Foundation Model (RFM) and needs to build applications and agentic workflows on top of it, demo them to customers, and make core product and engineering decisions to shape the growth of the RFM offering.
Requirements
- 1+ years in ML/AI product development or software engineering (startup or fast-paced product teams).
- Hands-on with embeddings, vector databases, and RAG; practical experience evaluating retrieval quality.
- Strong background in deep learning/transformers/foundation models and LLM orchestration (tool use, planning, memory).
- Experience with relational data & SQL; structured reasoning on business datasets.
- Proficiency in Python and familiarity with data wrangling (Pandas, NumPy).
- Experience as a Founding Engineer or early builder at a startup/innovation pod.
- Experience with LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, and multi-agent coordination libraries.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and deploy AI agents that assist data scientists on relational/SQL data and recommend next-best actions.
- Build user-centric APIs and product surfaces (web/UI or programmatic) that make agentic workflows feel seamless and reliable.
- Integrate Kumo’s Relational Foundation Model with enterprise data systems; contribute to tooling, retrieval, and guardrails.
- Develop adaptive, multi-step workflows (LLM orchestration, tool use, feedback loops) that continuously refine outputs.
- Ensure interpretability and evaluation: traceability of steps, confidence scoring, and human-in-the-loop review.
- Collaborate with PM/design/ML research to turn ambiguous problems into shippable product; instrument, measure, iterate.
- Demo your work to customers and community, serving as a visible builder and advocate for Kumo RFM.
Other
- Comfortable in an innovation pod or startup environment, moving quickly from idea prototype ship.
- A tinkerer at heart who’s built full‑stack apps (frontend, backend, data) and lately has been hands‑on with the LLM tooling ecosystem.
- Collaborative and easy to work with—you know how to partner with PMs/design/ML, bounce ideas, and get things done together.
- Strong product sense and collaboration skills—comfortable working with PMs/design and iterating with users.
- Builder mindset: you ship small, learn fast, and raise the bar with each iteration.
