Lead Frontend Engineer
Kamu provides an open-source protocol, the Open Data Fabric (ODF), and a suite of tools for decentralized data exchange and transformation.
About Kamu Data Inc.
Kamu is building a decentralized data processing network based on its Open Data Fabric (ODF) protocol, designed for the decentralized exchange and transformation of semi-structured data. It treats data as dynamic streams with a complete, immutable history, enabling verifiable trust and data provenance through a 'Data-as-Code' approach using a novel stream-processing SQL. This creates auditable and autonomous data pipelines, allowing organizations to build data supply chains similar to open-source software development. The Kamu ecosystem includes a command-line interface (CLI) for data management, a scalable Node for operating data pipelines, and a Web Platform to explore the data network. The project's technology and protocols are developed openly with community-governed specifications to foster collaboration and interoperability.
