About Kombo
Kombo builds a unified API for HR, payroll and recruiting systems. We're working with companies of all sizes - from Fortune 500 companies down to early stage startups - to help them integrate dozens of software vendors within a few days instead of months.
Instead of having to get their hands on a sandbox environment, build the integration code and figure out the edge cases dozens of times, they can only once use a well documented and clean abstraction provided by Kombo.
We grew from 0 revenue to >$1M ARR within a year and are looking for skilled engineers to help us improve and scale our product. For more details (and pictures!), check out our culture page!
Why Kombo
Kombo is an early-stage startup in the best sense of the word. We started Kombo in the Summer of 2022 when we were accepted into Y-Combinator and we rapidly grew from just four founders to 20 people, 200+ customers and 2M+ ARR in less than 18 months after founding.
Your work will significantly impact our tech product used by CTOs and engineering teams, and the whole team will celebrate your wins. You will work with a modern, yet robust, tech stack and we encourage you to keep up to date and bring new additions to the stack. With new challenges (we're looking to 2.5-3x the team next year!), you're assured of growth and progress.
In addition, we offer highly competitive compensation, shares in the company, and a supportive community. We're serious about good communication and eliminating frustrating politics.
Kombo is not for you if:
Your preferred work environment consists primarily of remote work/home office
You're in search of a more laid-back, less demanding workplace.
You are completely new to the industry and in need of extensive training and support
On to the role:
Kombo provides an API layer between our customers and any HR, payroll or recruiting tool - many of which are legacy, enterprise and badly documented systems containing multiple 100k records. The backend is doing a full read of each tool every few hours and has to handle inconsistent data schemas or downtime.
We are seeking a highly proactive and product-minded Full Stack Engineer.
You are expected to thrive in a high-energy, demanding, and fast-paced environment while having substantial hands-on experience with our tech stack;
Node.js
React
Typescript
Postgres
GCP
Docker
Prisma
You will be given the chance and, it is expected, that you take on a lot of ownership rapidly. This could be spear-heading a new product initiative, noticing that our release process could be improved & then owning improving it, or mentoring more junior team members. There is the potential of taking on a leading role in our engineering team.
Key Responsibilities
Own full-stack product initiatives
Integrate various third-party providers
Improve the company culture with insights and experience
Participate in crucial product decisions
Mentoring more Junior profiles (for senior profiles)
Contribute to tech infrastructure (optional)
What you bring
On a high level, we are looking for entrepreneurial people that are at the top-of-their-game. People at Kombo come from Harvard, Oxford, CODE etc., 50% are ex-founders themselves and in general have always done hard, impressive things. Specifically for this role, we are looking for the following skills:
Expertise in designing B2B Software applications
Ideally 5+ years of software development experience
Proficiency or capacity to learn our tech stack: Node.js, React, Postgres, Prisma, TypeScript
Enthusiastic and collaborative work attitude
Previous experience leading a team is a plus!
Previous founding experience is a plus!
Looking forward to hearing from all interested candidates who want to be part of building something ambitious.
Disclaimer We can only relocate candidates that are in the EU.
