Come build the credit layerfor the rest of the world.

Credit is the difference between a business that grows and one that doesn’t, a family that absorbs a shock and one that doesn’t. We hand lenders a decision-ready credit assessment in under a minute, and we’ve done it for more than $130 million in loan volume across Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the US.

We are a lean team in San Francisco. The category moves under your feet: what a model can read, what a regulator will accept, and what a lender will buy all change month to month, and the work is figuring out what that means before anyone else does.

The team

Lean, and you own a surface outright

Not a slice of someone else’s. Engineers sit in on sales calls and read the contracts, GTM can explain how the assessment works, and there is no layer between you and what gets built next.

The benefits

Equity that is a real number

Competitive salary with bands on the role, meaningful early equity, health coverage, relocation support, travel across our markets, offsites, team gym sessions, and a lot of good food.

What you learn

Credit, frontier models, and global markets

How to pull human-level insight out of a model and make it hold up under an auditor, a regulator, and a credit committee. This is AI aimed at one of the most pressing problems affecting real people: who gets seen as creditworthy, and who never gets looked at.

Open roles

No years-of-experience requirement on any of them. Show us what you’ve built. Nothing fits? founders@kita.ai and tell us what you would own.
