Job Description
<h4><strong>Why Cast AI?</strong></h4> <p>Cast AI is an automation platform that operates cloud-native and AI infrastructure at scale. By embedding autonomous decision-making directly into Kubernetes and cloud environments, Cast AI continuously optimizes performance, reliability, and efficiency in production.</p> <p>The old way doesn't work. As Kubernetes and AI environments grow, manual decisions don’t. Cast AI replaces tickets, alerts, and manual tuning with continuous automation that adapts infrastructure as conditions change. Efficiency and cost savings follow naturally from that automation.</p> <p>Over 2,100 companies already rely on Cast AI, including Akamai, BMW, Cisco, FICO, HuggingFace, NielsenIQ, Swisscom, and TGS.</p> <p><strong>Global team, diverse perspectives</strong><strong><br></strong>We're headquartered in Miami, but our impact is international. We take a global and intentional approach to diversity. Today, Cast AI operates across 34 countries spanning Europe, North America, Latin America, and APAC, bringing a wide range of perspectives into how we build and lead. </p> <p><strong>Unicorn momentum</strong><strong><br></strong>In January 2026, we achieved unicorn status with a strategic investment from Pacific Alliance Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Shinsegae Group (a $50+ billion Korean conglomerate). Our valuation now exceeds $1 billion, and we're just getting started.</p> <p><strong>Join us as we build the future of autonomous infrastructure.</strong></p> <h4><strong>About the role</strong></h4> <p>As the Founding Business Development Representative for Kimchi (https://kimchi.dev/) at Cast AI, you will build the outbound engine for a new enterprise AI product.
