About Capsa AI

Empowering Private Equity with Advanced AI – Capsa AI is an operating system that aggregates, structures, and generates insights from company and market data.


Our AI solutions reduce time spent on mechanical tasks and increase returns by analysing vast amounts of data to provide clear, actionable insights. Our vision is to become the leading AI platform for private capital funds, transforming how private investments are analysed and managed.


Our Team and Progress

Our founding team has deep domain expertise in Private Equity and AI. Our CEO, Danyal, has over 6 years of experience in Private Equity and Investment Banking at blue-chip financial institutions such as AEA Investors, Citigroup, and Deutsche Bank. Our CTO, Callum, has over 6 years of experience in Machine Learning and AI, having worked at leading defense companies like QinetiQ and retail tech startups such as Standard AI.


Just one month after our December 2023 founding, we launched our product with PE funds managing over $9 billion. Five months later, we're revenue-generating, serving leading PE funds managing over $30 billion across the US, UK, and Germany. We have also raised a 7-digit seed round with leading VCs and angel investors.


Our Philosophy

  • Small team : Small talented teams outperform large and slow-moving companies. We avoid bureaucracy, keep meetings to a minimum and focus on creating value.
  • Simple where possible: We are passionate about new technology (in particular Machine Learning and AI), but we are more passionate about solving problems for our customers. We strive to find the best solution, be it cutting-edge or old-school.
  • Customer obsessed: We take every opportunity to talk to our customers. We obsess over their problems and work every day to make them happy.


About the Role

We are looking for a founding platform or site reliability engineer, with experience contributing across the rest of the stack, who wants to help shape the future of private equity and our company. As a founding engineer you will:

  • Work directly with our founding team.
  • Talk to internal / external stakeholders often and ship features they care about, wherever they are in the stack.
  • Build out our microservices architecture.
  • Support the usage and deployment of commercial, open source, and proprietary machine learning models.
  • Support the team in achieving SOC 2 compliance.
  • Build out our engineering team, alongside our CTO.
  • Participate in the strategy and product ideation session, influencing our product roadmap.


Working at Capsa AI will be hard work, it will be messy and at times it will be stressful. However, you will:

  • Experience the process of taking the company from 0.1 to 1.
  • Shape the company's vision and will have a direct impact on its success.
  • Have the opportunity for fast career growth.
  • Have the opportunity to participate in the upside of an ultra-growth venture.
  • Have fun
