Job Description

Job Description

Why this role (and why now)

With the launch of our new Kumo Relational Foundation Model (RFM) , we’ve seen unprecedented interest from builders who want to create on top of our platform. This is your chance to be part of that momentum. You’ll be building applications and agentic workflows , demoing them to customers , and making core product and engineering decisions that shape the growth of our RFM offering.

This is an engineering role at its core, but you’ll also interface directly with customers, the broader builder community, and cross-functional engineering teams . We’re looking for someone who thrives in that hybrid space—shipping product, representing engineering externally, and helping shape the direction of Kumo RFM from the ground up.

We’re looking for someone who’s :

• Comfortable in an innovation pod or startup environment, moving quickly from idea → prototype → ship.
• A tinkerer at heart who’s built full‑stack apps (frontend, backend, data) and lately has been hands‑on with the LLM tooling ecosystem .
• Collaborative and easy to work with —you know how to partner with PMs / design / ML, bounce ideas, and get things done together.

Bonus : experience as a Founding Engineer or early builder who has shaped product direction from the ground up.
