About kAIgentic

kAIgentic is a Singapore-headquartered startup, with presence across Singapore, India and Japan, on a mission to help enterprises evolve as fast as technology by turning their hidden know-how into safe, AI-powered operations. Most large organizations struggle to transform; their tacit knowledge lives in people’s heads, systems are fragmented, and risk appetite is low. Our platform captures how work happens, designs better workflows, and runs them as agentic operations. As a result, organizations continuously improve, instead of changing in slow, risky bursts.

We’re backed by SMBC Group as our founding partner and “customer zero”, and our platform is already being proven in one of the world’s most complex, regulated environments. That gives us access to real problems, real data, and real impact from Day 1.

Why this role exists

We have built a strong founding team with seasoned leaders (ex-Microsoft, AWS, UiPath, GE, Genpact) who’ve built and scaled global businesses. We are looking for a strategic, AI-native Head of Talent Acquisition to architect and scale our hiring engine across Product, Engineering, Commercial and Global functions. We’re building something ambitious. At kAIgentic, talent is our strategy. The quality of our engineers, product leaders, and customer success leaders determines our ability to build a category-defining Agentic AI platform trusted by global enterprises. The role directly influences product velocity, engineering excellence, cultural integrity and global expansion.
