Driven by a vision of decentralizing the cloud industry, CAST AI frees innovators from the limits of cloud providers with an AI-powered cloud optimization engine that delivers a cost-efficient, high-performing, and resilient infrastructure for every Kubernetes workload.

• Collaborate with current and potential customers on all engineering aspects
• Create tooling and scripts in order to demonstrate products to customers

• Flexible working location and hours. We deliver instead of sitting in the office from 8 to 5
