About Berny
Berny is a Melbourne-founded product company building AI-powered products for a wide range of customers. We pair deep domain expertise with the best AI tools available to solve problems conventional software can't, and we use AI as a force multiplier across our own engineering as much as we build it into the products themselves.
We're now scaling our Clark engineering function, and you'd be one of the people we're betting on to make that work.
Our values: Harmonize · Innovate · Lead.
