About Us

We're rebuilding vertical software with AI — from the inside.

Embrace owns the software running inside 16% of the Fortune 500, 45+ state agencies, and 450+ banks and credit unions. We acquire entrenched vertical software businesses and rebuild them around AI — products, operations, go-to-market, all of it. Our Venture Lab launches new AI-native products into those same markets, using the distribution and customer relationships our portfolio already owns.

You'll ship AI into production against real workflows, real customers, and a P&L you can see move within a quarter.

We hire people who want scope, speed, and ownership, and who are tired of working on AI that never reaches a customer. If you want to spend the next five years shipping into software that already runs the economy, talk to us.

Job Description

This is a remote position.

Embrace Industrial Group supports some of the world's largest and most complex manufacturers—serving 8 of the Top 10 global Chemical companies, 3 of the Top 10 Automotive companies, and 3 of the Top 5 Oil & Gas companies, along with industry leaders in Heavy Machinery and Food Manufacturing.
