Software Engineer (Full-stack)

About kapa.ai

kapa.ai makes it easy for technical companies to build AI support and onboarding bots for their users. Teams at over 150 leading startups and enterprises including OpenAI, Mixpanel, Mapbox, Docker, Next.js, and Prisma use kapa to level up their developer experience and reduce support.

We enable companies to use their existing technical knowledge sources including docs, tutorials, chat logs, and GitHub issues to generate AI bots that answer developer questions automatically. More than 750k developers have access to kapa.ai via website widgets, Slack/Discord bots, API integrations, or via Zendesk.

We’ve been fortunate to be funded by some of the greatest AI investors in Silicon Valley: Initialized Capital (Garry Tan, Alexis Ohanian), Y Combinator, Amjad Masad and Michele Catasta (Replit), and Douwe Kiela (RAG paper author and founder of Contextual AI), and other folks including angels at OpenAI.
