About Kili Technology

At Kili Technology, our mission is to empower enterprises to transform unstructured data into high-quality assets, accelerating the deployment of trustworthy, production-grade AI.

We built the leading multi-modal data annotation and evaluation platform for enterprise AI workflows, serving tier-1 organizations such as Doctolib, LCL, and the US Military. As the market transitions toward mandatory data quality, specialized model fine-tuning, and emerging needs like agentic evaluation, Kili—now a profitable and fast-growing company—is uniquely positioned to lead the next generation of AI infrastructure.

Our team focuses on engineering excellence, deep pipeline integration, and military-grade security for highly regulated sectors (Defense, Healthcare, Enterprise Finance).

If you're excited about a fast-paced, flexible environment where growth is celebrated and every day brings new possibilities, join us on this exciting journey 🚀.

Your role

As a Solution Engineer, you are the ultimate technical and business Swiss Army knife. You sit at the exact intersection of frontier AI technology, revenue growth, and operational scaling.

Working with direct exposure to our CEO, CTO, and top-tier enterprise clients, you will have a massive, tangible impact on our product evolution, internal operations, and customer success. You won't just present software — you will design ROI-driven architectures, get hands-on with client implementations, and leverage GenAI and agentic workflows to automate our own internal processes.

This role is ideal for a highly autonomous, tech-minded builder who cares deeply about business profitability and operational excellence.

Your missions

Technical Pre-Sales & ROI-Driven Solutions

  • Be the technical voice: Lead RFPs, technical demos, and Proofs of Concept (PoCs) for enterprise prospects.

  • Focus on Profitability & ROI: Analyze client workflows to design highly efficient architectures. You will build compelling business cases that clearly demonstrate the ROI and profitability of implementing Kili’s solutions.

Hands-on Implementation & Delivery

  • Deploy & Integrate: Go beyond advice—roll up your sleeves to actively integrate Kili into our customers' complex ML/AI pipelines.

  • Own the project lifecycle: Manage the transition from pre-sales to post-sales, ensuring smooth technical onboarding, operational delivery, and alignment with the client's business goals.

Internal Automations & Agentic Workflows

  • Build for scale: Actively identify bottlenecks in our pre-sales, sales, and delivery operations.

  • Automate: Design, build, and deploy internal tools and automated workflows—specifically leveraging LLMs and agentic AI frameworks—to optimize our team's efficiency and processes.

Product Optimization & Feedback Loop

  • Shape the product: Act as the critical bridge between the field and our R&D. Translate real-world client challenges into actionable, structured feedback to continuously optimize our product features (multimodal, agentic evaluation, etc.).

Desired profile

  • A first significant experience in a hybrid technical/business role (Solution Engineer, TAM, Forward Deployed Engineer, or a highly technical Founder-Associate/Ops role).

  • Proven ability to translate complex technical capabilities into clear business value, profitability, and cost-saving metrics for clients.

  • Academic background in computer science, data science, machine learning or related fields. A degree combining Tech and Business/Management is highly preferred.

  • Comfortable writing scripts, playing with APIs, and building automations (Python, API integrations, basic automation tools).

  • Proficiency in both English and French, with strong communication capabilities in these languages.

  • Nice to have: Hands-on experience building or tinkering with LLM applications, GenAI tools, or agentic frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen, Make/n8n, etc.); deep understanding of computer vision, NLP, or data labeling workflows.

What we offer

  • An attractive compensation package, including performance-linked bonuses

  • Offices ideally located in Bastille

  • Strong exposure (CEO, CTO, and C-level clients) and culture of ownership giving you a direct voice in shaping our product, optimizing our internal processes, and driving real-world AI adoption

  • A supportive, ambitious, and passionate team, ready to onboard and accompany you in your progress

  • Remote work possible 2 days a week

  • 9€ lunch vouchers (60% paid by Kili)

  • Benefiz health insurance — 50% paid by the employer for the employee and his/her child(ren)

Why Kili Technology?

You might not know this, but

MNIST’s dataset has an error rate of 3.4% and is still cited by more than 38,000 papers.

The ImageNet dataset, with its crowdsourced labels, has an error rate of 6%. This dataset arguably underpins the most popular image recognition systems developed by Google and Facebook. Systemic error in these datasets has real-world consequences. Models trained on error-containing data are forced to learn those errors, leading to false predictions or a need of retraining on ever-increasing amounts of data to “wash out” the errors.

Every industry has begun to understand the transformative potential of AI and invest. But the revolution of ML transformers and relentless focus on ML model optimization is reaching the point of diminishing returns. What else is there?

The Company

Kili began as an idea in 2018. Edouard d’Archimbaud, our co-founder and CTO, was working at BNP Paribas, where he built one of the most advanced AI Labs in Europe from scratch. François-Xavier Leduc, our co-founder and CEO, knew how to take a powerful insight and build a company around it.While all the AI hype was on the models, they focused on helping people understand what was truly important: the data.

Together, they founded Kili Technology to ensure data was no longer a barrier to good AI.By July 2020, the Kili Technology platform was live and by the end of the year, the first customers had renewed their contract, and the pipeline was full. In 2021, Kili Technology raised over $30M from Serena, Headline and Balderton.

Today Kili Technology continues its journey to enable businesses around the world to build trustworthy AI with high-quality data.
