About the role

Orby builds the next-generation Automation AI platform to automate repetitive processes. It provides a unique “observe, learn, and automate” end-to-end experience powered by an actions-based foundation model. Orby observes a user’s activities, identifies repetitive work steps, and generates the suggestions that ultimately automate these tasks. Moreover, Orby works behind the scenes to continuously learn from human feedback, becoming smarter with no coding involved.

The two founders have unparalleled domain knowledge and AI expertise - Bella Liu led AI product and business development teams at UiPath (enterprise automation leader) from the early stage to post IPO and Will Lu led the engineering teams at Google building successful enterprise AI products in the last decade. Throughout the beta development, Orby has partnered with some of the world’s largest organizations to deploy the product and save users valuable time. They also hired world-class engineering, research, and design talent from Google, Microsoft, and Stanford who have extensive experience building cutting-edge technologies. Orby recently raised a Series A round from top VCs with a strong track record of backing category-defining companies.
