The name is the Japanese word for alloy—different metals combined into something new. That’s exactly what we’re doing at Shakudo.
We’re building the world’s first OS for data and AI—an ecosystem that 10x’s software engineers by removing operational overhead from their data/AI work. We use “operating system” in the truest product sense: like iOS, Windows, or Linux, Shakudo provides an end‑to‑end, ever‑evolving, automatically operated stack of best‑of‑breed open‑source components, applications and integrations tailored to each business’s needs.
Which segment of the market do we serve?
As a startup, this evolves. Today, we serve large enterprises—often in air‑gapped data centers. It’s one of our biggest value props and presents unique technical and product challenges. If you thrive in ambiguity and enjoy making the unknown known, you’ll fit right in.
The role
You’ll build and own an portfolio of applications built and run on top of the Shakudo OS—end‑to‑end—from design and implementation to quality, release, and iteration. You’ll also have direct influence in who to hire and how to shape the team as we scale.
We’re an onsite team. Join us in the office for fast feedback loops, and shipping together at high velocity. We also have hubs in San Francisco and India.
The ideal candidate
We’re an engineering‑first organization. We eat, breathe, and sleep the latest in ML, adopting new tech when it’s battle‑tested (half a step behind the bleeding edge). If you’re excited about applying this tech thoughtfully, you’ll fit right in. We value high productivity and autonomy, a kind, low‑ego workplace, and product‑minded, customer‑centric developers.
- Developer experience: CI/CD for apps, code standards, reviews, and documentation
- Product direction in partnership with PM/Design—rapid iteration with customers
- Team mentorship and hiring as we grow
What’s the stack?
Applications run on—and are hosted by—the Shakudo OS. Shakudo is a Kubernetes‑based system powered by Python. Our apps use Next.js with shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS, and a Python backend.
We believe in picking the right tool for the job. If another technology is a better fit for a use case, we’ll use it.
Examples of what we build
- Convert APIs to MCP servers
- Extract structured information from documents
- Chat app over large knowledge bases

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Shakudo in-person, remote, or distributed?
Primarily in-person. We operate as an onsite team to enable fast feedback loops and ship quickly, so you’ll work alongside the team in the office most days. We also have hubs in San Francisco and India, so there’s some cross-location collaboration, but the core experience is in-office.
Where is the office?
Our Toronto office is located near John and Adelaide.
What’s the interview process?
We build an infrastructure-focused product. Because of its deeply technical nature, our interview process emphasizes technical skills while respecting everyone’s time. It has three steps:
- 30-minute intro call with a team member
- Self-directed take-home Kubernetes assignment
- Half-day on-site interviews combining technical and behavioural conversations
Shakudo is an equal opportunity employer. We foster diversity and inclusivity and welcome candidates from all backgrounds and experiences.
