Posted Feb 11Product Engineer (Full Stack)
at Kombo
On-site
Requirements
- Concretely, we built a unified API, a massive data synchronization engine, an observability platform, and an embedded integration setup/configuration UI.
- That’s why we have a single programming language (TypeScript), a monorepo and have trunk-based development (on average, we release more than 50 times per day).
- I created a write up on this topic some time ago: What Product Engineering at Kombo Means https://kombo-api.notion.site/What-Product-Engineering-at-Kombo-Means-2f06526d848a805094c9e881a978403e THINGS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE AT KOMBO IN THE PAST - An AI agent https://docs.kombo.dev/ai-apply#ai-apply that parses arbitrary job postings from the web and makes them instantly applyable via API (built by Cornelius https://www.linkedin.com/in/corneliusrenken/).
- We write design docs and RFCs, every meeting gets recorded and the transcript is shared.
- YOUR FIRST 90 DAYS AT KOMBO On day 1, you will receive your laptop and other gear, set up the codebase, and read through our onboarding guide.
- TECH STACK We keep things at Kombo very lean and minimal; therefore, we believe the two important things you should bring are product sense and strong programming skills in TypeScript.
- At Kombo, you will work with a completely type-safe monorepo written in TypeScript, a Postgres DB that we interact with through Prisma, and a Redis instance.
- Our infrastructure is entirely managed through Terraform and hosted on GCP.
- Our frontend is built with React and Tailwind, a bit of shadcn, and receives data through type-safe tRPC queries from the backend.
- HIRING PROCESS When you join the hiring process with Kombo, you will quickly notice that we do things differently than other companies: we skip the BS and are considerate of your time.
Benefits
- Paid on-site day (so that we compensate you in case you have to use your holidays).

Additional details
- Full-time Hey, I'm Aike, co-founder & CTO at Kombo.
- I'm looking for entrepreneurial product engineers who want to own entire customer problems on our product.
- You won't get specced tickets at Kombo, but talk to customers, design the solution, build it, ship it, and make sure it actually works.
- WHAT WE ARE BUILDING We are building the infrastructure platform that HR tech products are built on.
- Because my three co-founders and I are engineers, we have always been drawn to deeply technical problems.
- That's how we ended up building infrastructure for HR tech providers.
- We offer this to other software companies so that they can provide prebuilt integrations with HR, ATS, LMS, and Payroll systems to their customers, instead of building and maintaining hundreds of integrations themselves.
- Since then, both our revenue and product usage have picked up with insane growth.
- Currently, we are at ~10M annual recurring revenue, power integrations for more than 15,000 companies, and sync data of more than 250 million people globally.
- We are setting the standard for how companies build product on top of the most complicated enterprise systems.
