Kodo operates a spend-management stack spanning corporate cards, accounts payable, and procurement automation, built on Java/Kotlin + Node.js/TypeScript + PostgreSQL + AWS/Azure. The engineering-heavy hiring mix (23 roles across 33 open positions) combined with active projects in NLP, LLM-based business applications, and API integration of AI models suggests a shift beyond payments infrastructure toward intelligent automation and compliance reasoning — critical for navigating RBI regulations and statutory reporting.
