To date, the company has raised $73M from investors including Cota Capital, Creandum, Uncorrelated Ventures, and Vintage Investment Partners. CAST AI has more than 120 employees globally and is headquartered in Miami, Florida. However, this is merely the beginning. Our product roadmap is filled with exciting innovations that are yet to come. We are searching for intelligent, motivated, and self-reliant people to help us fulfill this ambitious mission. These are the core values that hold us all together: DEVELOP AND HIRE THE BEST: Be curious and improve continuously to foster personal development and professional growth. LEAD: Take ownership, never kick the can, and drive things forward in a full-power mode. The company is in your hands. EXPECT AND ADVOCATE CHANGE: Constantly welcome new ideas and opinions. Share insights responsibly with unwavering openness, honesty, and respect. PRACTICE CUSTOMER OBSESSION: The customer always, always, always comes first. Solve the customer’s problem, be open to feedback, act on it, and the rest will follow. What does Cost Optimization Team do? At cost optimization team, our day is usually full of challenges. Have you ever encountered the situation where you need to expand your cloud infrastructure, in order for certain workloads to be deployed, and once the demand is low, to cut back on your cloud spendings? Most of us probably did, or at least know the many paths that need to be taken in order to achieve that. One of the team’s responsibilities is to make sure that whenever a customer is about to deploy somethingthe burden of making sure that things are running & not costing unnecessary money is uplifted from them. These are just couple small pieces of a bigger puzzle. To get into a more detailed perspective, try to answer the following questions: What happens when the demand for resources decreases? What should we do? What kind of instance types to use (spot vs on-demand)? What to do when cloud provider claims all of the spot instances back? Can we predict that? What is the most efficient way to handle all of the workloads while taking into account both cost & efficiency metrics? What is the visibility of all of the decisions that our engine is taking to both our customers and us? These are just several of the many questions that are part of the daily job when working in this team. Being part of this team would involve design and decision-making end-to-end while collaborating with colleagues from other teams.
