Why this role
In emerging markets, credit infrastructure is broken. Credit bureaus are unreliable, open finance is limited, and most financial data lives in messy documents. As a result, millions of individuals and businesses are locked out of credit because lenders can’t properly assess them.
Kita is building the infrastructure to fix this. We turn messy financial documents into structured, fraud-checked signals that lenders use to make underwriting decisions. We work with customers ranging from fintechs to enterprise banks, and build closely with them on the ground — during the YC batch, we spent time in Manila, Singapore, Jakarta, and Mexico City.
We’re a Stanford AI team backed by Y Combinator, top funds, and leading angels across Silicon Valley and Southeast Asia. During the YC batch, we grew ~40% week-over-week with customers across three continents. Our CTO was ranked #1 in Stanford CS in 2025.
This is a high-ownership, generalist role. You’ll work directly with the founders on what’s most critical to moving the business forward, whether that’s closing deals, onboarding customers, or building internal systems.
You’ll have a front-row seat to how an early-stage company scales, and you’ll be expected to take projects end-to-end, from identifying the problem to getting something working in the real world.

What We Do
Kita is an AI-native credit infrastructure platform that automates credit review for lenders in emerging markets. It leverages vision language models (VLMs) to transform unstructured borrower documents—such as bank statements and e-wallet records—into fraud-checked, decision-ready data. By automating document verification and underwriting, Kita enables lenders to scale operations and improve financial inclusion while keeping final credit decisions in the hands of human teams.
