The Opportunity
Our mission is to change the way the world works by democratizing AI for every business, and to build a great company that everyone loves being a part of. These two goals haven’t changed since the days when Peak was little more than an idea forming in the heads of our founders Richard, Atul and Dave.

By joining our team, you’ll contribute to helping some of the world’s leading businesses — including the likes of Nike, Heidelberg Materials and Boohoo — harness the potential of AI to grow revenues, increase profits and efficiencies.
We have ambitious plans for the future and that means we're looking to welcome new people to our team. At Peak, culture and success come hand in hand — so creating and protecting a company culture that’s true to our values remains a fundamental aspect of our mission. Our company values are built on being Smart through expertise and results, Curious in our relentless problem-solving, Open with an approachable and helpful mindset, Driven by ambitious goals and commitment, and Responsible by taking ownership and delivering with trust.

Diversity, equity & inclusion
We’re here to change the way the world works and build an amazing company that everyone loves being part of. We know diverse perspectives and experiences result in better solutions, which is why we want all of our Peakers to bring their authentic selves to work.
