Role overview
Media & Internet, Social Networks
At Kiki, we’re on a mission to unchain people from the financial constraints of rent. We’re working to create a world where people can leave their homes without the burden of paying rent while they’re away. Many people are hesitant to let someone stay in their home, which creates a massive trust gap. Our goal is to bridge that gap, building the kind of trust that makes people feel comfortable with a stranger in their home- just as they would with family or close friends. Once we break through this barrier, our Kikiers will experience the freedom of being able to travel, spend time with family, or take work trips without being financially tied to their homes.
What you will do
- Develop and ship high-priority features for the iOS app and web platform using TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Nest.js.
- Architect an AI-driven marketplace that leverages 10,000+ real user conversations to automate trust-based matching between hosts and guests.
- Take full ownership of the technical stack and product lifecycle, from initial concept through deployment on AWS and Vercel.
Who this is a fit for
- 3+ years of professional full-stack experience, ideally in a fast-paced startup environment, with a heavy emphasis on modern front-end development.
- Holds a computer science or software engineering degree from a reputable university and has a proven track record of building end-to-end projects.
- A first-principles problem solver who thrives in ambiguity and has the resilience to build a category-defining company from the ground up.
Why this role is remarkable
- Exceptional traction with $4.2M gross ARR and 30% month-over-month growth since launching in London just ten months ago.
- Backed by a high-profile roster of investors including Blackbird and early executives from Facebook Marketplace, Airbnb, Uber, and Canva.
- True founding opportunity to shape the engineering culture and product roadmap for a platform aiming to impact one billion people.
