*The platform* We’re building a platform significantly more powerful than other leading customer support AI: we handle complex, multi-dimensional queries that most people assume must be handled by a human. Automating customer support is just the beginning: once teams are freed from reactive support, we want to help them tackle what’s next: providing personalized concierge services to their customers and radically revamping the paradigm of customer support. In short, we are defining what an AI-first SaaS product looks like. No one has figured out what the UI/UX, capabilities and data models of an AI first company are - it’s white space for us to invent. The AI agent problems we’re solving are beyond the cutting edge at the biggest research labs. In short, we’re doing really cutting edge stuff. *The team* We have a world-class team that includes technical leadership from Google Brain, Stripe, Dropbox, Atlassian and Canva. Our investors are heavyweights in the operations space and are confident that we are building a product that will change the way companies approach customer support. We’ve assembled a great team, and we’ve developed a first principles culture on how we work together — we are a low ego, high trust team that values agency and doing right by the customer above all else.

> Why Castle? So many Americans dream of owning a home but face a harsh reality once they get there. Maintenance, repairs, and running costs can leave many homeowners even more stressed, strained, and financially insecure than they were before. We believe that homes can still be incredible sources of wealth and security for millions of Americans, but that homeowners deserve better data to make better choices when it comes to managing their biggest asset. That’s why Castle is building payments infrastructure for the $3T spent on the home each year — starting with a bill-pay mobile app to help homeowners automate, consolidate, and reduce their spend. > Why you? We want to work with talented, curious, and creative people with many different experiences and perspectives who care deeply about our customers and want to help them solve real problems. A sense of humor and love of dim sum are a bonus. If that sounds like you, we want to work with you.
