## Job description

## About Kestra

[Kestra](http://www.kestra.io/) is the universal orchestration platform — open source, declarative, and designed to orchestrate data pipelines, IT automation, business workflows, and AI/agentic systems. Trusted by over 10,000 organizations worldwide — including JPMorgan Chase, Bloomberg, FILA, and Crédit Agricole — Kestra orchestrates mission-critical workloads at scale. The [open-source project](https://github.com/kestra-io/kestra) has close to 30,000 GitHub stars, hundreds of contributors, and a fast-growing global community. In March 2026, we closed a $25M Series A led by RTP Global, with participation from Alven, ISAI, and Axeleo – backed by founders from Datadog, dbt Labs, and Hugging Face.

## About the role

Kestra orchestrates workflows across systems and domains, and AI agents and LLM-driven workflows are a growing part of that. You will own the product side of AI workflows at Kestra: what we build and for whom. The job is to find the AI use cases worth supporting, validate them with customers, and shape them into product. You would work directly with the founders, the engineering team, and customer-facing colleagues.

## What you will do

- Define the AI features, from use cases to roadmap planning
- Run customer and prospect interviews to validate which AI workflows are worth building
- Turn validated use cases into specs and reusable blueprints with the engineering team
- Decide what we do not build, and say so clearly

## What we are looking for

- Real experience building AI or developer products, with examples you can talk through in depth
- Strong product judgment: you can tell a serious use case from a flashy one
- Technical fluency. You do not need to write the code, but you need to understand agents, orchestration, and integrations well enough to scope them.
- Direct, low-fluff communication

## Perks & Benefits

- Work from anywhere: We’re a remote-first company, so you can work from wherever feels like home. Plus, you’ll have access to coworking spaces worldwide if you ever need a change of scenery.
- Health coverage: From medical support, dental, and vision, we've got you covered.
- Home office setup on us: We’ll provide all the equipment you need to work comfortably.

Our Hiring Process We aim to move quickly (2-3 weeks), but we can adjust the timeline if needed.

- Intro call with the hiring manager (30 min)
- Technical test (homework done in async)
- Team chat with two of your future colleagues (30 min)
- Final discussion with one of our co-founders (30 min)

We’re here to make the process smooth and transparent for you. Before you apply We have seen too many AI candidates whose entire experience is one demo or one prototype. If that is the depth of your AI background, this is not the right role. We are looking for someone who has released AI product to real users and can speak to the trade-offs.

## About Kestra Technologies

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Kestra is the open-source declarative orchestration platform for data, AI, and infrastructure workflows, designed to unify automation across any language and infrastructure.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Paris, France
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Emmanuel Darras (CEO), Ludovic Dehon (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Workflow Orchestration, Data Infrastructure, Developer Tools, AI Operations
- **Target customers**: B2B – Data engineers, platform engineers, software engineers, and enterprise IT teams
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Unify orchestration for all engineers. Build, run and govern all your workflows — data, AI, infrastructure, and business — Everything-as-Code, from the UI and with AI."

## Products & Services
- **Kestra Open Source**: A free, self-hosted orchestration engine (Apache 2.0 license) that runs on Docker or Kubernetes. Workflows are defined in declarative YAML, support any language (Python, Bash, Node.js, Go, containers), and connect to 1,600+ plugins.
- **Kestra Cloud**: A fully managed SaaS version of the platform, offering fast time-to-value with pay-as-you-go pricing.
- **Kestra Enterprise Edition**: Built for critical environments with SSO, RBAC, audit logs, multi-tenancy, isolated workers, SLA-backed support, and hybrid deployment (cloud, on-prem, air-gapped). Includes AI Copilot for natural-language workflow generation and agentic orchestration.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $36M across three rounds (Pre-Seed $3M, Seed $8M, Series A $25M)
- **Notable Investors**: RTP Global (led Series A), Alven (led Seed round), and a roster of prominent angel investors including Clément Delangue (CEO, Hugging Face), Nicolas Dessaigne (Founder, Algolia / YC Partner), Olivier Pomel (CEO, Datadog), Tristan Handy (CEO, dbt Labs), Michel Tricot (CEO, Airbyte), Pierre Burgy (CEO, Strapi), Bertrand Diard (Co-Founder, Talend), Stijn Christiaens (Co-Founder, Collibra), and Frédéric Plais (CEO, Platform.sh).
- **Growth Signals**: 10x year-over-year growth in adoption and workflow volume; 48.8% headcount growth YoY (46 employees as of mid-2025); 24 active job postings; team distributed across 10 countries.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Unified orchestration**: Replaces multiple legacy tools (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster, CI/CD schedulers, cron) with a single platform for data, AI, and infrastructure workflows – reducing tooling cost by up to 90%.
- **Declarative YAML + UI**: Workflows are version-controlled YAML, but can also be built in a UI (no-code forms) – both stay in sync, enabling collaboration between developers and non-developers.
- **AI-native**: Built-in production AI Copilot generates/refines workflows from natural language, and AI Agents with memory and tools can dynamically adapt execution.
- **API-first / CI/CD native**: Fully programmable via API and Terraform, enabling Git-driven CI/CD for workflow deployment.
- **Enterprise governance**: Retries, timeouts, SLAs, RBAC, audit logs, SOC 2, and isolated task runners – built for production reliability.

## Strategic Focus
- **Agentic automation**: Deepening AI-native capabilities with context-aware agents that can loop, adapt, and make decisions mid-workflow.
- **Enterprise adoption**: Scaling the Enterprise Edition with enhanced governance, multi-tenancy, and hybrid/air-gapped deployments for regulated industries (banking, defense, healthcare).
- **Ecosystem expansion**: Growing the plugin library (1,600+) and blueprints (250+) to connect with more data, cloud, and SaaS tools.
- **Global team growth**: Hiring aggressively (24 open roles) across engineering, sales, customer operations, and marketing, with a remote-first, distributed structure.

## Why Work Here
- **Remote-first**: Fully distributed team – work from anywhere (employees in 10 countries including France, US, UK, Germany, India, Serbia, Spain, Slovenia, Nigeria, Ireland).
- **Flexible hours**: "Flexibility in schedule to be there for life’s important moments" – strong emphasis on work/life balance with a generous vacation policy.
- **Comprehensive benefits**: Premium medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents; hardware/software costs covered; home office or coworking space budget.
- **Engineering culture**: Open-source, developer-first ethos with a flat, transparent team. High autonomy and ownership – "empower engineers to orchestrate any workflow, in any language, on any infrastructure."
- **Growth trajectory**: Fast-growing startup (10x YoY adoption, 48.8% headcount growth) – opportunity to shape the product and culture early. Backed by top-tier founders and VCs.
- **High-impact roles**: Currently hiring for Lead Java Engineer, Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Head of Sales, Developer Advocate, Product Manager, QA Engineer, and more.
