About the Company
Guidepad is the platform aimed at reducing modern software development complexity by providing development teams with common, reusable tools and an automation framework. We are modernizing enterprise software development by balancing abstraction and configurable power, providing a solution for all the personas of modern software engineering to leverage one platform across DevOps, AI/ML Ops, Data Engineering and Workflow Automation.
Guidepad provides several key tool sets and modular abstractions for defining entity schemas, infrastructure, services, permission boundaries, and application programming interface (API) operations as data, enabling a suite of low-code/no-code interfaces. The platform abstract away most programming tasks as engineers don't have to build out the individual components of their system, they're able to program the system entirely (meta-level programming). Users simply create a low-code/no-code configuration and the platform converts it into software at runtime.
