Software Engineer (Data Platform) at Black Crow AI

At Black Crow AI, we are democratizing access to high-level machine learning for brands of all sizes. While Fortune 500 companies have long utilized ML to solve complex, high-stakes problems, smaller brands have often been priced out of this technology. We are changing that narrative by providing bespoke, enterprise-grade ML predictions that integrate with a single click. Having recently secured $25 million in Series A funding, we are scaling rapidly to support our growing list of over 150 clients, including brands like Sakara and Burrow. Our founders have a proven track record of building successful, high-growth companies, and we are committed to maintaining a human-first culture where diversity is a core strength.
