About the role

  • INTRODUCING KEPLER THE PROBLEM High-stakes industries are falling behind on AI adoption.
  • Their workflows can't afford wrong answers.
  • And AI can't be trusted to give right ones because of hallucinations.

Responsibilities

  • AI: Model-agnostic by design. We currently use Claude and GPT. The model is the replaceable part.
  • Deep architectural reviews and guidance on system design.
  • Learn by building production systems that power real financial research.
  • We own customer outcomes while building a product company.
  • If you notice a problem, you own it by making sure it doesn't fall through the cracks.
  • We design for critical workloads from day one.
  • "Build anything" budget - dedicated funding for whatever tools, libraries, datasets, or infrastructure you need to solve technical challenges, no questions asked.
  • Forward-Deployed with Product DNA: We own customer outcomes while building a product company.
  • Extreme Ownership: If you notice a problem, you own it by making sure it doesn't fall through the cracks.
  • Production-First Engineering: We design for critical workloads from day one.

Nice to have

  • We're backed by investors who built the modern AI and data stacks, plus the builders of iconic commercial businesses.
  • This includes founders of OpenAI, Meta AI Research, MotherDuck, dbt Labs and Square as well as PebbleBed, Company Ventures and Mantis VC firms.
  • PostgreSQL, plus direct integrations with official data sources.

Skills

  • Great teams compound.
  • Every hire raises the bar, every win gets named, every person gets the tools and runway to grow.
  • Kepler is an Equal Opportunity Employer and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any kind.

Benefits

  • 100% covered top-of-the-line medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and their families.
  • HSA maxed by the company to the IRS limit.
  • Automatic coverage for life, AD&D, and disability insurance.
  • Unlimited PTO policy.
  • Learning budget - attend any conference, course, or program that makes you better at what we're building.

Company info

  • The founding team spent a combined 40+ years at Palantir building the type of large-scale data infrastructure that Kepler requires.
  • Our co-founder created Palantir's first AI platform and built the analytics engine behind $100M+ contracts.
  • Our founding engineers led Foundry's core systems - Ontology, Fusion, Workshop, FoundryML - and scaled data products at Meta to 1B+ users.
  • We've paired this deep technical foundation with a repeat founder profile.
  • Our CEO built and scaled a data company to $15M ARR before successfully selling it.
  • He then became Citadel's first Head of Business Engineering, experiencing first hand the problems we are now solving.
  • We have a team who've been on both sides: building systems like this at massive scale and selling it into the buyers who need it most.
  • Backend: Rust - agent orchestration, data extraction, computation pipelines.
  • Frontend: TypeScript, React - the analyst workspace and verification interfaces.
  • Data: PostgreSQL, plus direct integrations with official data sources.
  • Infra: AWS.
