About Cake
Our Mission: To accelerate the widespread distribution of AI ensuring that frontier innovation solves humanity’s hardest problems.






Our Story
Cake was founded by a team of seasoned AI infrastructure veterans and open source contributors who saw a pattern across hundreds of real-world ML and AI projects: it’s not any one tool that slows teams down, it’s the platform glue holding them all together.
Inspired by the rise of powerful open source components and the “compound startup” model, they set out to build Cake: a fully managed, modular AI infrastructure platform that helps teams bring AI-powered products to market faster, with best-in-class open source tools, built-in security and compliance.
Today, companies use Cake to run everything from LLM-powered apps to classic ML pipelines abstracting the infrastructure, accelerating development, and scaling with confidence.

Values
Our values represent who we are, at our best. We seek to exhibit these values every day. We focus on doing what’s right for our customers, shareholders and employees.
Bazaar over cathedral
Cake is focused on hiring a diverse team across every dimension. We prefer people with a bent toward autonomy and bottom-up innovation rather than top down. We are passionate about the open source ecosystem.
Speed over comfort
Cake is a fast-moving and exciting environment. We are moving fast, learning a ton, and often outside of our comfort zone. It is a great place for people who like Type 2 fun.
Guidelines over control
We hire for high autonomy. We focus on empowering elite performers and giving them a lot of room to run, with high level directives.
