Distributed Systems Engineer - Databases

Kumo in Mountain View, CA

Come and change the world of AI with the Kumo team!

Companies spend millions of dollars each year to store terabytes (and increasingly more!) of enterprise data. However, although they are able to use this data effectively for historic analytics today, they’re typically only able to leverage a fraction of it for predictive tasks, because of how difficult and time-consuming it is to set up production ML workflows. At Kumo, we are building the first data platform to seamlessly allow machine learning over data warehouses for faster, simpler, and smarter predictions. Query the future with Kumo.
