Kanu is an AI-agent platform that automates all three - it doesn't assist the business, it runs the work of the business.\nKanu began as the AI Cloud Engineer: an agent system that autonomously builds, deploys, and validates production infrastructure and large codebases inside a customer's own cloud account. Working with enterprise customers surfaced the insight the company is now built on - every business reduces to data, intelligence, and artifacts - so we aimed that engine at the core of business itself. Today the platform ingests the documents and emails flowing through an organization, applies the organization's own reasoning through governed, reusable AI modules, and generates finished outputs - deliverables, dashboards, models, client-facing artifacts, even full websites and forms - with a human approving every consequential step.\nAdoption at our flagship customer has grown nearly 10x in the past months.\nThe Role\nWe're hiring an AI Engineer to build the core Kanu platform. You'll work across the stack - backend, AI agents, and cloud automation - on the three pillars of the product: data ingestion and flexible, user-defined ontologies; the intelligence layer (extraction agents with citations, skills, and modules that capture how organizations reason); and generative outputs, where the agent builds whatever the work requires.\nYou'll play a hands-on role shaping our engineering culture and shipping high-impact features that move directly into production environments inside customer clouds.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign, build, and maintain full-stack features: backend APIs, agent orchestration, LLM integration and optimization, evals, and cloud integrations\nBuild the platform primitives - document extraction with citation and conflict resolution, flexible entity ontologies, reusable skills and logic modules, and generative outputs (dashboards, documents, client portals)\nWork directly with real customer workflows and iterate rapidly on practitioner feedback\nCollaborate with product and GTM teams to deliver enterprise-ready, human-in-the-loop experiences\nImprove reliability, performance, and testing coverage across the platform\nYou May Be A Fit If You\nHave 2+ years (excluding internships) building production-grade full-stack applications\nAre comfortable in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment\nCommunicate clearly and collaborate across teams with a bias toward action\nHave familiarity with agent frameworks and LLM-powered products\nBonus Points\nExperience building AI-driven, document-intelligence, or developer-tooling products\nExperience with data platforms, search/retrieval, or schema/ontology design\nCompensation & Benefits\nCompetitive salary and equity\nFull medical, dental & vision coverage\nGenerous PTO\nRelocation and visa support if applicable\nAnnual team offsites","description_format":"text","description_chars":2979,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Real Estate","Real Estate Investment"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-27T00:10:40Z"}],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.176,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":121,"expected_fill_days":15,"reasons":["conf:26","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-09-28T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/kanu-ai-ai-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/kanu-ai-ai-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-28T06:43:28Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4827,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":173,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-29T00:00:00Z"}}}
