Kato | Senior Software Engineer | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | Full-time

Kato is building a compliance-first AI servicing platform for the $24B lending market. While others treat regulatory guardrails as an afterthought, we’ve built a regulatory rules system with an AI decision engine on top. Our first product is a Voice AI agent currently handling loan servicing calls for major fintechs like Bilt Rewards and Parafin.

We are backed by Pear VC and angels from Brex, Bridge, and Square. You’ll be our second engineering hire, working directly with our CTO (ex-Google/Brex EM) and CEO (ex-Goldman/Brex).

The Role: As an early hire, you’ll own mission-critical projects across the entire stack. You’ll lead the architecture of our real-time voice processing system, optimize LLM integrations for compliance-aware conversations, and build out our customer-facing dashboards.

Backend: Golang, PostgreSQL

Frontend: Next.js, TypeScript, React, Tailwind

Infra: AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker

2-5 years of production software experience.

An "owner's mindset"—we are a small, high-intensity team where everyone drives product direction.

Experience with WebRTC, real-time audio, or FinTech is a plus but not required.

Location: San Francisco (4 days/week in-person).

Kubermatic | Full-time | Product Eng & Open Source Dev & CloudNative Consultant | Remote Europe

I am looking for Product Engineers and Open Source Developers to join the KDP and kcp teams.

- Open Source Software Engineer (https://kubermatic.bamboohr.com/careers/24): Work directly on the upstream kcp project. Your contributions will have a direct impact on the open-source community and will help build a framework for managing multi-tenant services at scale. Kubermatic is the project's maintainer.

- Product Software Engineer (https://kubermatic.bamboohr.com/careers/25): Build a platform that makes other engineers more productive. Drive features from discovery to delivery and shape architectural and product decisions. KDP is currently available as a standalone, on-premises solution. As we prepare to launch a new SaaS offering, you'll help evolve our tech stack to meet these emerging requirements.

KCP and KDP tackle the same problem: managing complexity across heterogeneous IT landscapes at scale. kcp is the open-source foundation—a control plane technology that works with any tech stack. We maintain it upstream and contribute to the community. KDP builds on that foundation, delivering a pragmatic platform for enterprise.

We're also hiring for a role that bridges our technology with real-world enterprise challenges:

- CloudNative Consultant (https://kubermatic.bamboohr.com/careers/28): Partner with some of the largest companies in Europe and the US to solve their toughest infrastructure and engineering challenges. You'll guide enterprises through deploying KKP, running virtualization with KubeVirt, and adopting autonomous operations with KDP/kcp —turning complex tech transformations into success stories.
