Experience with Anthropic's Claude API or Claude for Enterprise - Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, or Snowflake's native vector support) - Experience with dbt for data transformation - Experience with a workflow orchestration tool such as Airflow or Prefect - Familiarity with data observability tools (e.g., Monte Carlo, Metaplane) - Background supporting Sales, Finance, or Revenue Operations use cases - Experience building internal AI tools or copilots for business teams Why Join Us - Shape our data and AI strategy from the ground up — this is a greenfield opportunity with real ownership - Work on data that directly influences revenue strategy and business decisions - Work at the cutting edge of enterprise AI on a team that's fully bought in on building with AI responsibly - High cross-functional visibility across Revenue, Finance, Product, and Engineering - Competitive salary, equity, and benefits About Kong: Kong Inc., a leading developer of API and AI connectivity technologies, is building the infrastructure that powers the agentic era. trusted by the Fortune 500 and startups alike, Kong's unified API and AI platform, Kong Konnect, enables organizations to secure, manage, accelerate, govern, and monetize the flow of intelligence across APIs and AI models.
