About CrazyCatz

CrazyCatz was incorporated to exploit the very latest developments in Artificial Intelligence to realize the vision of “Agents where people don’t need to be”. Specifically, despite the founders extensive experience in building multiple waves of market defining innovations in IT and SecOps, there is still a wasteful use of human resources performing repetitive and low impact knowledge work. These people need liberating to free them from drudgery and CrazyCatz will pioneer this change.

We will build a series of unique foundational models, some based upon learning the patterns and sequences in machine data, to drive a leading edge agent first platform. Replacing SIEM/SOAR and XDR by the revolutionary combination of AIDR (AI Detection & Response) for SecOps and a novel Generative AIOps platform, we will bring to market the world’s first XOps platform. Humans will only ever be pulled into the loop to oversee the army of agents that will secure and assure the most sensitive and critical digital infrastructures. This represents a $50 billion market worldwide, and the opportunity with a unique US & UAE capital strategy, to build the fifth essential AI property.

We are seeking talented experts keen to join the next wave of AI first engineering, and help us build a future genuinely free of toil.

We are seeking a visionary Chief Technology Officer to lead our technology organization and help scale the company from an innovative AI platform into a category-defining enterprise software business.
