About the Role
Kognitos is at the forefront of revolutionizing the trillion-dollar hyper-automation market. Our mission is to redefine how software is built and maintained by leveraging cutting-edge multi-agent automation platforms.

Our team includes top engineers from leading tech companies and top universities worldwide. With offices in San Jose, CA, and Bangalore, India, we're building a global center of excellence in AI automation. At Kognitos, you won't just build software—you'll help shape the future of AI-driven automation.
