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.


Kumo is seeking a talented Senior Software Architect to join our innovative team. As a Senior Software Architect at Kumo, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our platform, designing and implementing cutting-edge solutions that drive value for our clients.

  • Evaluate emerging technologies and tools to identify opportunities for innovation and improvement within our architecture.
  • Mentor and coach junior architects and developers, fostering a culture of collaboration, learning, and growth.
  • Conduct code reviews and provide technical guidance to ensure adherence to architectural principles and coding standards.
  • Identify and mitigate technical risks throughout the development lifecycle, proactively addressing issues to ensure successful project delivery.
  • Participate in architectural governance processes, contributing to the development of standards, policies, and guidelines.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.

What We Do

Democratizing AI on the Modern Data Stack!

The team behind PyG (PyG.org) is working on a turn-key solution for AI over large scale data warehouses. We believe the future of ML is a seamless integration between modern cloud data warehouses and AI algorithms. Our ML infrastructure massively simplifies the training and deployment of ML models on complex data.

With over 40,000 monthly downloads and nearly 13,000 Github stars, PyG is the ultimate platform for training and development of Graph Neural Network (GNN) architectures. GNNs -- one of the hottest areas of machine learning now -- are a class of deep learning models that generalize Transformer and CNN architectures and enable us to apply the power of deep learning to complex data. GNNs are unique in a sense that they can be applied to data of different shapes and modalities.
