We want someone who will be as obsessed about the company as the founders and get up every day to make Callidus the leading product on the market. After launching the product less than 6 months ago, we are seeing tremendous traction and strong growth. We looking for someone with a "founding engineer" mindset, and in turn, we'll reward them with an excellent equity package that is rare for a company at our stage.

We are an engineering-led organization that believes in empowering great resources and working collaboratively on our mission. Callidus has just closed another round of funding, co-led by Myriad and AI Fund, led by Andrew Ng. We have hundreds of paying customers.
