A user asks a question. The database answers — reliably. We build what's in between.
Think Spotify, but for enterprise data. Imagine a product manager at a streaming service wants to know:
"Do users under 25 listen to more podcasts or music on Monday mornings?"
The data exists — buried in hundreds of tables, millions of rows. Today, that question takes a data team and two days. With KEA, anyone just types the question and gets the answer. In seconds.
KEA is an AI-powered data intelligence platform. Our first clients are in market research — but the technology is domain-agnostic: any structured database, any industry. We turn natural language into verified database queries across fully isolated multi-tenant environments — each with its own data model, glossary, and search index. Thousands to hundreds of thousands of variables per tenant, on-prem ready, zero data exposure, role-based access, full audit trails. Most NL-to-SQL tools choke on real enterprise data. Ours doesn't — because we treat queries as pipelines, not prompts. Small team in Berlin. Weeks from launch. Paying customers lined up.
What You'd Own
Prompt engineering & LLM orchestration at the core of the product
Retrieval logic — making search precise, not just fast
Early weeks: improve query accuracy, harden edge cases, ship a feature end-to-end
Architecture decisions — you're in the room, not outside it
Push models to their limits, find where they break, fix it
How We Think
Turn chaos into structure — messy input in, clean pipeline out
Decompose everything into small, testable steps
Every decision traceable. Every output explainable.
Systems that self-correct and learn from failure
If it's not transparent, it doesn't ship.
Stack & Tooling
Production stack — individual components may evolve as we scale post-launch.
Obsessed with LLMs, retrieval, or making AI actually reliable
Have built and shipped something — GitHub, prototypes, anything
Learn fast. Debug methodically. Take ownership.
SQL helps. Relentless curiosity is non-negotiable.
Us
Small team — no layers, no politics, no process theater
Biweekly architecture sessions, in person, with real decisions
We build with AI and review with humans — speed + rigor
Best argument wins. Titles don't.
Full-time down the road? Open to it — no pressure either way
You don't need to check every box — but we're looking for someone who's genuinely strong, not just interested. Exceptional in one or two areas, fast learner everywhere else. One real project beats ten online courses.
