Kasada detects and blocks automated attacks across web, mobile, and API channels using adversarial ML models and real-time detection pipelines built on Kafka, Flink, and ClickHouse. The company is scaling aggressively: hiring is accelerating with a sales-heavy mix (8 of 15 open roles) and leadership additions (director, VP), while simultaneously building out detection infrastructure (SageMaker, Jupyter) and deploying modernized GTM systems (HubSpot, Akamai integration). This hiring shape reflects a simultaneous push to expand enterprise sales coverage and deepen detection-model sophistication.

Kasada provides bot management and detection for enterprises operating across web, mobile, and API surfaces. Founded in 2015, the 51–200 person company is headquartered in New York and serves mid-to-enterprise customers seeking protection from automated fraud and credential-stuffing attacks without deploying friction-heavy CAPTCHAs. The platform ingests large-scale traffic streams, applies adversarial ML classifiers in real time, and integrates with CDNs (Cloudflare, Akamai) and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes). Current operational focus spans proof-of-concept deployments, new market expansion, and scaling enterprise sales operations while addressing latency and detection accuracy at scale.
Kasada's detection layer is built on Kafka for stream ingestion, Apache Flink for real-time processing, and ClickHouse for analytics. The platform deploys adversarial ML models via SageMaker and integrates with Jupyter for model development. Traffic is analyzed against Kafka Connect and Kinesis pipelines.
Current projects include deploying adversarial ML models for detection, modernizing GTM strategy and sales processes (HubSpot implementation), expanding into new markets, and integrating detection systems across web, mobile, CDN, and cloud environments. The company is also addressing latency optimization and scaling SaaS operations.
