Software Engineer - AI Use Cases & Solutions

Overview

What is Shakudo?

The name is the Japanese word for alloy—different metals combined into something new. That's exactly what we're doing at Shakudo.

We're building the world's first OS for data and AI—an ecosystem that empowers software engineers to build sophisticated data and AI applications without becoming infrastructure experts. We use "operating system" in the truest product sense: like iOS, Windows, or Linux, Shakudo provides an end‑to‑end, ever‑evolving, automatically operated stack of best‑of‑breed open‑source components, applications and integrations tailored to each business's needs.

As a startup, this evolves. Today, we serve large enterprises—often in air‑gapped data centers and complex deployment environments where failure isn't an option. It's one of our biggest value props and presents unique technical and product challenges. If you thrive in ambiguity and enjoy making the unknown known while solving problems that matter, you'll fit right in.

You'll build and own cutting-edge AI applications and solutions end‑to‑end—from design and implementation to customer delivery and iteration.
You'll create production systems that solve real business problems using the most advanced AI tools available. You'll work side-by-side with customers to transform ambiguous business challenges into concrete AI solutions using best-in-breed open source tools, then contribute learnings back to our core platform. This is your opportunity to work with cutting-edge AI technology while solving meaningful problems across industries.

We're an onsite team. Join us in the office for fast feedback loops, and shipping together at high velocity.

We're an engineering‑first organization pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI in enterprise environments. We eat, breathe, and sleep the latest in AI/ML, adopting new tech when it's battle‑tested (half a step behind the bleeding edge).
If you're excited about working with cutting-edge AI tools to solve problems that matter and seeing your work drive real business outcomes, you'll fit right in. We value high productivity, innovation, customer obsession, and learning without the ego.

AI applications run on—and are hosted by—the Shakudo OS. Shakudo is a cloud-native platform built with modern technologies and best-of-breed open source tools. Our AI solutions use modern agent frameworks, vector databases, and workflow orchestration tools to solve problems other companies can't.

We believe in picking the right tool for the job. If another AI framework or technology is better for solving a critical customer problem, we'll use it.
