Opportunity Description

Change Software Forever


Most research roles publish papers. This one ships the intelligence that makes AI-generated software trustworthy in production. AI is making engineers dramatically more productive. The problem is nobody fully trusts what AI ships.


Why this matters now


AI is rewriting how software gets built. But shipping still breaks on testing. Engineering leaders are desperate to release faster without dropping quality, and they can't get there with manual QA or brittle test automation.


Here's the bigger shift: as AI writes more of the code, the bottleneck moves from generating software to trusting it. Nobody owns that trust layer yet. Duku is building it, autonomous agents that simulate real users, catch critical failures before production, and self-heal as the product evolves.
