We are WisdomAI.
We exist to help people unlock clarity from complexity.
WisdomAI builds AI-powered analytics that put answers directly in the hands of the people closest to the business. Our platform doesn’t just surface insights — it explains the why behind them, helping teams move from data to decisions with speed, confidence, and context.
We’re trusted by companies like Cisco, Patreon, and Rubrik — and we’re just getting started.The problems here are hard, and the expectations are high. Our team is energized by both. If you’re compelled by ambitious problems, high standards, and meaningful ownership, you’ll thrive here.
Backed by Wisdom's adaptive context layer, at the core is generative UI: the charts, dashboards, and insights are generated, not built screen by screen. And it runs wherever people already are: web, mobile, Slack or embedded within their web app. The problems are hard, the UX has no playbook!
You own a user-facing surface end to end and sweat how it feels. We're hiring at the mid to senior level, with room for staff engineers who still love to build.
Builders: You're a frontend engineer at heart. Some of us run 50/50 frontend and backend. Some stay frontend-heavy on the hard UI and visualization work. We build the role around you.
Ownership:Engineers own projects here, from requirements to ship. PMs and designers are partners and input, not a queue you wait behind. Wherever the work starts, we build it – together.
Proximity: You'll work closely with customers, through sales and support and as directly as you want. Staying close is how any of us build something people love to use.
Judgement: We all work across the stack with AI doing a lot of the typing. Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, pick your flavor, most of us use all three. So the job isn't typing anymore. It's taste and judgment about what's worth building and whether it's any good.
Fluidity: The work spans three teams: Dashboard & Visualization, Chat & Context, and Agents & Integrations. You'll land where you fit and where the work is, and move between them as the product grows.
A few of the problems open right now:

Our CRAFT
CRAFT isn’t a list of aspirational values. It’s how we hire, how we promote, how we resolve hard calls, and how we stay honest with ourselves.
C — Customer trust. Everything starts here. We listen carefully, act with integrity, and respond with urgency. Delight is downstream of trust — never the other way around.
R — Relentless on outcomes. We move with urgency, take initiative, and see things through. Effort isn’t the measure — results are. If something isn’t working, we change the approach now.
A — Authenticity. We say the hard things, directly and with respect. We also show up as full humans. That combination is how trust is earned and how we grow together.
F — First principles, grounded in reality. We don’t accept “that’s how it’s done.” We strip problems to what’s actually true and build up from there — then validate quickly and let real-world results decide.
T — Transparency. We share the why, not just the what. When something can’t be shared, we say so. We’re one team — information flows so we can do our best work and challenge each other when we’re wrong.
