## 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.
