The Opportunity


Our mission is to change the way the world works by democratizing AI for every business, and to build a great company that everyone loves being a part of.

These two goals haven't changed since the days when Peak was little more than an idea forming in the heads of our founders Richard, Atul and Dave.

It's an incredibly exciting time here at Peak.

Off the back of our $75m Series C funding round in late 2021, led by SoftBank, we're scaling our offering, and putting AI in the hands of even more customers.

We have ambitious plans for the future and that means we're looking to welcome new people to our team.

At Peak, culture and success come hand in hand - so creating and protecting a company culture that's true to our values remains a fundamental aspect of our mission.
