Description

Why Cast AI? Cast AI is the leading Application Performance Automation (APA) platform, enabling customers to cut cloud costs, improve performance, and boost productivity – automatically. Built originally for Kubernetes, Cast AI goes beyond cost and observability by delivering real-time, autonomous optimization across any cloud environment. The platform continuously analyzes workloads, rightsizes resources, and rebalances clusters without manual intervention, ensuring applications run faster, more reliably, and more efficiently. Headquartered in Miami, Florida, Cast AI has employees in more than 32 countries worldwide and supports some of the world’s most innovative teams running their applications on all major cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments. Over 2,100 companies already rely on Cast - from BMW and Akamai to Hugging Face and NielsenIQ. What’s next? Backed by our $108M Series C, we’re doubling down on making APA the new standard for DevOps and MLOps, and everything in between. About the role The Problem: Current observability tools provide visibility into logs, metrics, and traces, but "stop short of action," leaving engineers to manually interpret data and resolve issues under time pressure. The Solution: APA bridges the gap between insight and action by introducing agent-like intelligence that proactively identifies issues, takes informed action, and minimizes downtime. It integrates with OpenTelemetry stacks and leverages Kubernetes as its foundational platform. It builds on real-time observability data from Cast AI products and handles the follow-up work that engineers normally perform manually, for example: Updating manifests or Dockerfiles when vulnerabilities are detected Syncing workload rightsizing recommendations into deployment manifests Proposing indexes or caching strategies for inefficient database queries Adjusting node templates to improve cluster efficiency All actions are executed through runbooks - predefined automation workflows that create pull requests, apply configuration updates, or roll back if needed. APA's goal is to fully automate these improvements, reducing repetitive manual work. The ambition: Rather than being a collection of point solutions, APA is envisioned as a platform where "the whole exceeds the sum of its parts," creating exponential value through intelligent, context-aware automation. Every vertical solution CAST AI develops will become a tool in APA's arsenal, empowering it to take decisive action across the entire software stack.
