Government technology has failed citizens, veterans, public servants, and service members for decades. Kaizen powers America’s application layer. We replace the legacy systems federal agencies run on with modern software, built with craft. The ticketing platform a resident uses to visit a presidential library. The marketplace DoW uses to procure counter-drone systems to protect lives and critical infrastructure. The system a Veteran uses to access benefits. We build systems of record, of national consequence. Our AI-native modules and harness allow us to do so in weeks, not years. This year, our revenue has grown 35x. Next year, our software will serve over 100 million Americans across dozens of federal agencies. Founded in 2022 and based in New York City and DC, Kaizen has raised $35 million from NEA, a16z, Accel, 776, and Carpenter Capital. Location New York, NY (Hybrid). In office Monday to Thursday. Candidates must live in or be able to commute to New York City. The Role Most companies building with AI connect someone else's models to their software. Kaizen's AI-native platform turns requirements into working applications, and today much of that intelligence comes from general-purpose models that carry capabilities we don't need, lack knowledge we do, and leave us and our customers paying frontier-model token costs for intelligence we don't control. This role changes that. You'll fine-tune, adapt and distill open-weight models into specialized intelligence Kaizen owns, and prove where it beats the general-purpose alternative. The goal isn't the biggest model or the most papers: it's public-sector software that works better, costs less to run, and is harder to replicate. What You'll Do - Fine-tune, adapt and distill open-weight models for requirements interpretation, code generation, repository understanding, structured output and software validation. - Own the experiment loop: curate datasets, build training pipelines, and test architectures and techniques until…
