Job Description

What is Shakudo? The name is the Japanese word for alloy—different metals combined into something new. That's exactly what we're doing at Shakudo. We're building the world's first OS for data and AI—an ecosystem that empowers software engineers to build sophisticated data and AI applications without becoming infrastructure experts. We use "operating system" in the truest product sense: like iOS, Windows, or Linux, Shakudo provides an end‑to‑end, ever‑evolving, automatically operated stack of best‑of‑breed open‑source components, applications and integrations tailored to each business's needs. Which segment of the market do we serve? As a startup, this evolves. Today, we serve large enterprises—often in air‑gapped data centers and complex deployment environments where failure isn't an option.
