About the Company
We're building an AI platform for data reliability. Companies run their businesses on systems of record like CRMs and ERPs, but the data in those systems is messy at every company scale. AI is only making the problem worse as more tools and agents write data without oversight. Our platform gives AI agents a reliable foundation to operate on, cleans up data autonomously, and provides secure, governed workflows for human-in-the-loop curation.
Founded by experienced engineering leaders who previously built AI systems used by large enterprises and government organizations, we're a well-funded, early-stage company building our founding team in New York City as the agentic automation market continues to grow.
Salary : $160,000 - $260,000
