Varos Deploys AI Agents for Enterprise Process Discovery, Opens Engineering and Go-to-Market Hiring

San Francisco-headquartered Varos builds autonomous AI business analysts designed to gather process requirements, map institutional workflows, and support organizational automation projects. Its primary AI agent, named Arthur, acts as a Senior Business Analyst working 24/7 across any language. The platform conducts intelligent 10-to-15-minute voice or text-based interviews with internal teams to rapidly capture knowledge, cross-reference information, uncover root causes to operational challenges, and deliver actionable insights. All gathered data is consolidated into a private, secure knowledge base, converting tribal knowledge into structured institutional intelligence.

In one recent enterprise deployment for a large financial institution, Arthur unblocked a critical system migration in three days by interviewing more than 100 operators across the organization. That three-day automated discovery phase replaced what had been estimated as a $1 million, six-month engagement by a traditional management consulting firm.

Founder Backgrounds in Cyber Security, Private Equity, and Financial Technology

Varos was co-founded by CEO Yarden Shaked, CTO Lior Chen, and co-founder Gil Shaked. The leadership team brings extensive experience across enterprise software, data infrastructure, and financial institutions.

Lior Chen brings over 15 years of experience building enterprise-grade data and cyber security products both for Fortune 1000 corporations and his own startups. He is an alumnus of Israel's 8200 Unit. Chief Executive Officer Yarden Shaked previously worked in private equity at Apax Partners and investment banking at Rothschild after earning a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance and Analytic Consulting from Emory University's Goizueta Business School. Co-founder Gil Shaked previously served as CTO of Dun & Bradstreet and held Managing Director roles at Morgan Stanley and Citadel.

Platform Evolution from Market Co-ops to Autonomous Enterprise Agents

Varos participated in the Y Combinator Summer 2021 cohort and has raised $8.5 million in total funding. Backers include Y Combinator, Mosaic General Partnership, Ibex Investors, Thomas Glocer, Andy Dunn, and Amol Deshpande.

The company's technical architecture initially grew through competitive analytics. In an interview on The Front Lines, Yarden Shaked described how Varos built a data co-op where companies connected via API to feed in performance data, running aggregation and anonymization algorithms to return comparative benchmarks back to users. Speaking on the Up Arrow Podcast, Shaked explained that private equity firms and operating companies historically spent substantial sums on McKinsey or BCG studies to obtain comparative market data because internal operational data was private. In a presentation hosted by Darkroom, Shaked noted that Varos grew its co-op to track over 4,200 companies representing $4 billion in annual ad spend and $15 billion in tracked revenue.

Building on these foundations in multi-source data processing, Varos extended its core platform to address internal process discovery, deploying AI agents to capture knowledge directly from enterprise employees.

Hiring Across Engineering, Analytics, and Field Operations

To expand its core agent features and support client execution, Varos is filling open roles across engineering, analytics engineer, and field sales teams.

On the product team, Varos is recruiting a Senior Full Stack Engineer to design, build, and optimize full-stack components using React, TypeScript, and Python. The engineer will collaborate with AI teams to integrate model APIs while managing cloud deployments and infrastructure across Tel Aviv, New York, or remote locations. The company is also hiring a Senior Analytics Engineer to build product features and execute analyses on large datasets using SQL, dbt, and Python. This role involves leveraging large language models for data enrichment and tagging while establishing data pipelines for machine learning models.

To manage enterprise client accounts and guide product requirements, Varos is seeking a Forward Deployed Consultant. The position involves conducting proof-of-concept projects, driving deep platform adoption, and acting as a bridge to product management by translating customer operational needs into software requirements.

In New York, Varos is building out its commercial go-to-market team. The company is hiring a Strategic Accounts Lead to manage complex sales cycles from initial demo to signed enterprise contract, while defining the company's sales playbook. Supporting that effort, Varos is hiring an onsite New York Sales Development Representative (SDR) to generate pipeline and schedule meetings with senior operators at large enterprise organizations.
