Description
Introduction
Kablamo is an impact-driven software engineering company (teamkablamo.com). We bring engineering, data, and AI expertise to solve complex problems with the intellectual horsepower to know what works and the care to make sure it actually does. Founded in 2017 in Australia, we’ve grown quickly across both markets, including the expansion of our team to Canada in 2021.
Our team is growing but we remain small and nimble in Canada – because AI is reshaping what traditional roles look like, the boundaries between roles stay flexible. People pick up what the work needs and have a real voice in how we continue to improve our own work experiences. As a result, we commit time so that everyone has the opportunity to learn and grow significantly in their careers. We call our approach Make with Heart and Mind.
