DataRobot
Enterprise AI platform for building, deploying, and governing predictive and generative AI. AutoML pioneer, founded 2012 in Boston. Raised ~$1B+ at a ~$6.3B peak valuation. Fortune 50 customers.
What is DataRobot?
DataRobot is an enterprise AI platform. It made its name as one of the pioneers of AutoML, software that automates much of the machine-learning workflow so data scientists, ML engineers, and analysts can build and compare predictive models quickly, and has since expanded into an end-to-end platform for building, deploying, monitoring, and governing AI applications, including generative and agentic AI, across an organization. The company was founded in 2012 in Boston by Jeremy Achin (former CEO) and Tom DeGodoy (former CTO), who saw, while at Travelers Insurance, that demand for data science was outrunning the supply of skilled data scientists and set out to automate the modeling work. Debanjan Saha, a former Google Cloud executive, has been CEO since July 2022 after serving as President and COO. DataRobot serves a large enterprise customer base including Fortune 50 companies across finance, healthcare, retail, and other industries. It raised roughly $1.05B or more across about ten rounds and reached a peak private valuation near $6.3B. A note for job seekers weighing stability: like many late-stage AI-infrastructure companies, DataRobot has been through multiple rounds of layoffs, with headcount declining from roughly 969 in 2024 to around 835 by 2026. It runs a remote-friendly model headquartered in Boston.
Mission & values
Deliver enterprise AI that organizations can trust, by automating and governing the full lifecycle of building, deploying, and operating AI applications at scale.
Qualifications
DataRobot hires across engineering (backend, distributed systems, ML platform and MLOps, applied AI and generative AI, data, frontend, security, SRE), applied data science and AI/customer-facing data scientists, product, design, developer relations, sales and sales engineering, customer success and professional services, marketing, and G&A. Application flow lives at datarobot.com/careers. Machine-learning, MLOps, and applied-AI roles are core given the product, and the company increasingly hires for generative and agentic AI. It is remote-friendly with a Boston headquarters and additional hubs; many US roles are remote or hybrid, and it has hired internationally. The strongest candidates bring production experience in ML systems, model deployment and governance, or enterprise data science. As a private, late-stage company that has been through restructuring, candidates may want to weigh team and funding stability alongside the role.
