About Kaya AI
Kaya AI is building the system of action for mission-critical construction and infrastructure projects. We help owners, developers, and contractors proactively manage procurement, logistics, and execution across some of the most complex projects in the world, including data centers, life sciences, and advanced manufacturing.
Our platform combines AI, workflow automation, supply chain intelligence, and real-world operational data to help teams deliver projects faster, with greater predictability and less operational friction.
We are backed by leading investors and trusted by some of the most forward-thinking companies in construction and mission-critical infrastructure.

- Design scalable backend infrastructure and APIs for mission-critical workflows
- Build intelligent procurement, logistics, and supply chain coordination systems
- Create modern frontend experiences with exceptional usability and performance
- Develop knowledge graph and retrieval systems for construction and infrastructure data
- Integrate multimodal AI capabilities across documents, drawings, schedules, and field workflows
- Work on voice, automation, and real-world operational tooling
- Partner directly with customers to rapidly prototype and deploy new workflows
