Paper Plane Tales

Knacklabs.ai is Product Development Studio. WE BUILD TRUE PRODUCT TEAMS for our clients. Each team is a small, well-balanced group of geeks and a product manager that together produce relevant and high-quality products. We use data to make decisions, bringing big data and analysis to software development. We believe the product development process is broken as most studios operate as IT Services. We operate like a software factory that applies manufacturing principles of product development to the software.

Deep Tech Startup Focusing on Autonomy and Intelligence for Unmanned Systems. Guidance and Navigation, AI-ML, Computer Vision, Information Fusion, LLMs, Generative AI, Remote Sensing

Ande is an AI-native, full-stack TypeScript platform built on React, Node.js, GraphQL, and Postgres, running on AWS and powering web, mobile, internal operations, deep integrations, and agentic workflows.

Our product sits at the intersection of enterprise workflows, hospitality operations, payments, compliance, procurement, and AI — giving engineers the opportunity to solve problems that combine polished user experiences with complex real-world systems.

Engineering at Ande is deeply product-oriented and systems-heavy. We care about:

• Type safety and shared abstractions
• Fast iteration and observable production systems
• High-quality user experiences
• Building durable foundations for a category-defining platform

PMs and engineers work closely with the business domain, contributing directly to:

• Booking experiences
• Client entertainment policies
• Venue operations
• Spend visibility and approvals
• Payments and procurement workflows
• Enterprise integrations
• AI-driven workflows that reduce manual coordination across enterprises and hospitality partners

Ritually helps enterprises identify and automate their back-office rituals. We build the process intelligence layer that shows large organizations how their highest-value, most repetitive work actually gets done and turns that work into automation, for a world where humans and agents work together.

Our founders, Ari Winkleman and Rachel Bush, previously built and exited a startup (Involvio) to Cisco. The company is funded and working with design partners.

You'll join an AI-native, repeat founding team at the earliest stage, with equity and real scope. You'll work directly with the founders, own meaningful work from 0-1 and have a real path to grow with the company.

We care deeply about trust, craft, customer obsession, and speed and that's what we look for in the people who join us!
