Data platform and Gen AI services for enterprise transformation
KI Performance builds data infrastructures and AI applications for large enterprises, with a deep Microsoft and Databricks partnership evident across their full stack (Azure, Synapse, Databricks, Delta Lake, OpenAI). The hiring acceleration toward senior and manager roles—concentrated in engineering and data—reflects active scaling of delivery capacity rather than exploratory research; their project list (platform orchestration, PoCs, co-sell pipelines) and pain-point focus on scalability and compliance suggest a services-to-product transition underway.

The company operates across Germany and Portugal, with a 51–200-person team structured around engineering, data, product, and sales functions.
