Distributed Systems Engineer

Come and change the world of AI with the Kumo team!

Companies spend millions of dollars to store terabytes of data in data lakehouses, but only leverage a fraction of it for predictive tasks. This is because traditional machine learning is slow and time consuming, taking months to perform feature engineering, build training pipelines, and achieve acceptable performance.

At Kumo, we are building a machine learning platform for data lakehouses, enabling data scientists to train powerful Graph Neural Net models directly on their relational data, with only a few lines of declarative syntax known as Predictive Query Language. The Kumo platform enables users to build models a dozen times faster, and achieve better model accuracy than traditional approaches.
