KAUKANA VENTURES

Kaukana Ventures is a
start-up studio
with deep expertise in AI and Data Science that focuses on four major areas : AI, Agriculture, Future of Work and FinTech Web3. We anchor our studio on solid technology foundations - Data Stacks - Web3 - NFTs - AI

We are looking for passionate and talented full-stack engineers who will have a strong impact on the quality and features of the solutions that we develop.

As we incubate and ramp-up new ventures and products on promising topics, our best-in-class engineers develop custom software to solve data & AI use cases for our start-ups. A recent example is the development of Agrisight, a unique deep tech platform to improve the agricultural supply chain efficiency, that is now a SaaS product offered to clients, with a fast-growing activity.

Our full-stack engineers play a strong role in the whole process of creating a solution: from system design to implementation, using current best practices and cutting-edge technologies, including training and running advanced machine learning and optimization model.

Our approach for data & software engineering

We believe very strong development standards are required to develop complex software. A great focus is put on static typing (e.g. TypeScript for front-end development, Pyright for type-checking Python code), infrastructure-as-code (Docker containerization), continuous integration and delivery (CI / CD pipelines).

We build our solutions on top of the most advanced and capable open-source software, to which we contribute by either issue reporting or pull requests.

Every software engineer is free to use the coding tools she/he is the most comfortable with, whether on MacOS X or Linux, with VSCode or Vim.
