Certivo builds the AI that collects compliance evidence from suppliers, validates it against regulation, and produces audit-ready proof on demand. We are hiring people who want to encode how compliance works instead of doing it by hand.
Manufacturers today have to prove things they mostly cannot prove. That a component contains no restricted substances. That no part of a product touched forced labor. That a supplier's cybersecurity posture meets a customer's contract. The requirement is real, the deadline is fixed, and the evidence sits in thousands of PDFs across hundreds of suppliers who answer email when they feel like it.
Most companies solve this with spreadsheets and follow-up. It works until a regulator, a customer, or a customs officer asks for proof on a deadline.
Our AI engine, CORA, does the work underneath. It runs supplier outreach, reads and parses the documents that come back, checks them against the rules that actually apply, and assembles the package when someone asks for proof. Compliance teams move from chasing documents to making decisions.
The regulation is genuinely hard. Rules of origin, substantial transformation, ECCN classification, substance thresholds across overlapping jurisdictions. This is not a domain where you can pattern-match your way to a right answer. Getting it wrong costs customers detained shipments and denied entries.
The AI has to be right, not impressive. A compliance answer that is confidently wrong is worse than no answer. Most of our engineering effort goes into validation, traceability, and knowing when to escalate to a human. If you are tired of demos that fall apart in production, this is the opposite problem.
The deadlines are real. EU CBAM entered its definitive phase in January 2026. The Cyber Resilience Act reporting obligation lands in September. Customers are not evaluating us against a five-year roadmap. They need it working this quarter.
You will see your work land. We are small enough that the person who defines a rule usually watches a customer use it a few weeks later.
We are in Seattle, with people working remotely across the US and India. Most roles are hybrid if you are local and fully remote if you are not.
We write things down. Decisions live in documents, not in someone's head or a meeting nobody recorded.
We would rather ship something narrow that works than something broad that mostly works. In compliance, mostly working is a liability.
We say what we actually know. If a framework is on the roadmap, we call it roadmap. If accuracy has not been externally validated, we say so. That discipline is the product, and it is also how we talk internally.
The people who do well here tend to have unusual combinations. A trade compliance specialist who is comfortable in a data model. An engineer who wants to understand why a regulation is written the way it is. Someone who has spent years inside a compliance function and has opinions about what should have been automated a decade ago.
You do not need to have worked at a software company. Several of the people whose work matters most here came from manufacturing, customs brokerage, or a compliance team at a company much like our customers.
We are hiring across compliance, engineering, and go-to-market.
