Job description

Kaya is an Enterprise AI Execution Platform company helping organizations turn AI into reliable, production-scale business execution.

The platform enables enterprises to redesign and operate business-critical processes using AI, with the governance, control, visibility, and consistency required for real-world enterprise environments. Rather than limiting AI to pilots, assistants, or isolated tasks, Kaya helps organizations put AI to work across end-to-end processes and translate it into measurable business outcomes.

Kaya works across the systems enterprises already rely on, including CRM, ERP, data platforms, AI models, and existing workflows. It provides a unified execution layer for bringing AI into the way work actually gets done, while giving enterprises the ability to understand, govern, and continuously improve how those processes operate.

Kaya is founder-led, venture-backed, and entering a defining stage of growth. The platform is already proven in production with enterprise customers and delivering measurable business value. We are now building the team that will help scale Kaya across the U.S. and North America and establish the Enterprise AI Execution Platform as a new category in enterprise software.
