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 governed by agentic operations. The result: organizations that 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.

- Define the long-term infrastructure vision for kAIgentic’s global enterprise deployments
- Architect multi-region, multi-tenant cloud infrastructure meeting bank-grade reliability and compliance requirements
- Design the unified CI/CD platform strategy spanning application code, infrastructure, ML models, and RAG pipelines
- Own the Kubernetes platform architecture including GPU federation, cost optimization, and enterprise isolation
- Define the observability architecture unifying application metrics, agentic workflow tracing, LLP performance monitoring, and audit logging
- Architect the LLM operations strategy including multi-provider routing, failover, cost optimization, and latency SLOs
- Design the MLOps platform roadmap for model lifecycle management at enterprise scale
