Automating manual data engineering tasks with AI
We build a platform that automates repetitive work in data engineering, like testing data pipelines, reviewing data code, and handling big projects such as data platform migrations. Our AI helps data teams find errors faster and move quicker, so they spend less time on manual checks and more on analyzing data.
We live in New York, NY and the company is based here, but our team includes remote members.
New York gives us access to a strong pool of data engineering talent and proximity to key customers, while allowing remote work keeps us flexible and agile.
