Own the development of APA, driving it from early access to product-market fit while collaborating directly with beta customers for feedback and iteration.
Cast AI is an automation platform that operates cloud-native and AI infrastructure at scale. By embedding autonomous decision-making directly into Kubernetes and cloud environments, Cast AI continuously optimizes performance, reliability, and efficiency in production.
The old way doesn't work. As Kubernetes and AI environments grow, manual decisions don’t. Cast AI replaces tickets, alerts, and manual tuning with continuous automation that adapts infrastructure as conditions change. Efficiency and cost savings follow naturally from that automation.
Over 2,100 companies already rely on Cast AI, including Akamai, BMW, Cisco, FICO, HuggingFace, NielsenIQ, Swisscom, and TGS.
Global team, diverse perspectives
We're headquartered in Miami, but our impact is international. We take a global and intentional approach to diversity. Today, Cast AI operates across 34 countries spanning Europe, North America, Latin America, and APAC, bringing a wide range of perspectives into how we build and lead.
Unicorn momentum
In January 2026, we achieved unicorn status with a strategic investment from Pacific Alliance Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Shinsegae Group (a $50+ billion Korean conglomerate). Our valuation now exceeds $1 billion, and we're just getting started.
Join us as we build the future of autonomous infrastructure.
The Problem: Current observability tools provide visibility into logs, metrics, and traces, but "stop short of action," leaving engineers to manually interpret data and resolve issues under time pressure.
The Solution: APA bridges the gap between insight and action by introducing agent-like intelligence that proactively identifies issues, takes informed action, and minimizes downtime. It integrates with OpenTelemetry stacks and leverages Kubernetes as its foundational platform.
It builds on real-time observability data from Cast AI products and handles the follow-up work that engineers normally perform manually, for example:
Updating manifests or Dockerfiles when vulnerabilities are detected
Syncing workload rightsizing recommendations into deployment manifests
Proposing indexes or caching strategies for inefficient database queries
Adjusting node templates to improve cluster efficiency
All actions are executed through runbooks - predefined automation workflows that create pull requests, apply configuration updates, or roll back if needed. APA's goal is to fully automate these improvements, reducing repetitive manual work.
The ambition: Rather than being a collection of point solutions, APA is envisioned as a platform where "the whole exceeds the sum of its parts," creating exponential value through intelligent, context-aware automation. Every vertical solution CAST AI develops will become a tool in APA's arsenal, empowering it to take decisive action across the entire software stack.
