About the Company

Cake is on a mission to make cutting-edge AI accessible to every business. Cake removes complexity and cost barriers, empowering businesses to adopt AI/ML faster and more easily.


Cake solves the entire AI infrastructure problem for customers 10x faster and 10x cheaper than alternatives. The platform has 4-layers: compute infrastructure management, open-source components, common integrations, and pre-built project components. Built-in security and monitoring ensure a smooth path to production. This pitch is resonating extremely well in the mid-market already and we are poised to grow extremely quickly over the next 12 months.


Backed by top investors, Cake is a dynamic team of forward-thinking technologists. We're passionate about breaking down barriers and making cutting-edge AI accessible to the tens of thousands of businesses who are interested but bottlenecked on engineering talent.


Intensity, humility, and collaboration are the cornerstones of Cake culture, fostering an environment where we constantly learn from each other and push the boundaries of what's possible at an incredibly fast pace.


The Head of Operations will work closely with the CEO to expand the capacity, velocity, and intelligence of the founding team. This role will be divided equally between owning essential projects from conception to completion and hands-on day-to-day business operations and optimization work focused on making Cake run smoothly and efficiently. If you’re a talented operations lead excited about changing the future of AI, we’d love to hear from you.
