Tellius is a fast-growing AI analytics company headquartered in Reston, Virginia. We are transforming how enterprises interact with their data — moving beyond dashboards and static reports to an always-on, agentic intelligence platform that investigates, reasons, and delivers finished answers autonomously.

Our platform, powered by Kaiya — Tellius's AI agent — connects to all your enterprise data, automatically investigates what changed and why, and delivers board-ready briefings, memos, and presentations before you even ask. We serve some of the world's most innovative companies, including Novo Nordisk, PepsiCo, Regeneron, AbbVie, and Biogen — helping their teams go from question to decision in minutes, not days.

We are recognized as a Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics & Business Intelligence Platforms, and we're just getting started. Our team is built for people who thrive on solving hard problems, moving fast, and building things that matter at enterprise scale.

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our AI team. This is a high-impact, IC-focused role for someone who wants to build scalable AI systems that power real-world decision-making.
