We believe every founder has the potential to unlock the future of human achievement – and that everyone should have the tools and the opportunity to participate. That’s why we are reinventing the way software companies get started. We’re building beautifully simple tools that shorten the distance between having an idea and getting it into the hands of people who need it.
We’re just getting started and we’re incredibly excited by Kinde’s potential to reshape the future of SaaS businesses. And we’re not alone. We’re backed by Blackbird and Felicis Ventures and recently closed one of the largest Seed funding rounds in Australia’s history.
We’re looking for senior software engineers who want to be part of the solution to one of their own most fundamental problems – that of building infrastructure before you can focus on your actual product. Kinde is built by engineers, for engineers – it doesn’t get much better than that!
What you will do:
- Spread the Kinde word. You’ll share the Kinde product, vision and values with your network and help to build our brand from the ground up.
- Build and maintain Kinde products. You’ll be a crucial part of our early team, working to build out the Kinde toolkit. We have big, bold aspirations and we need the best talent to get us there
- Work collaboratively with all teams. You’ll work closely with our Engineering, Product and Design teams to make sure Kinde is the best it can be. You’ll participate in code reviews and contribute ideas to engineering discussions.
- Strive to learn and hone technical skills. You’ll always write clean and well thought-out code, find any bugs (and fix them!) and make sure you are always asking questions to learn from and help the team around you.
- Set the standards. We’re looking for thinkers and inventors who can come up with new approaches to old ideas and push the industry forward.
- Share your expertise. We believe in a culture of sharing. Pass on your experience to junior developers to help them grow or share your knowledge externally on our blog.
Our stack:
We have opted for an unorthodox approach to building our products. We don’t believe it is right to serve 10mb of JavaScript to a customer just to render a web page, we instead use traditional server-side rendered HTML but in an unconventional way leaning on a Postgres database as the main workhorse. These are the core technologies used:
- The backend of the core Kinde product relies heavily on PL/pgSQL as a templating language (we know that’s unconventional) and Golang.
- On the frontend we care about writing semantic, accessible HTML, scalable CSS and use JavaScript sparingly to enhance the interaction layer.
- Our SDKs and OSS libraries are written in a range of languages and frameworks to enable our customers to connect to us in their technology of choice. (Currently we have SDKs for vanilla JS, React, Node and Golang with more to follow)
A bit about you:
- Experience building web products. You’ll have 4+ years experience in software engineering. We’re open to any industry background and if you have worked in an early stage startup – even better!
- Master of your craft. You have deep expertise with at least 2 parts of our stack.
- Can work autonomously. Once we’re aligned on where we need to go, you’re comfortable in the driving seat.
- You think outside the box. The world is changing, quickly. You’re excited by new and effective approaches to software engineering and you always think two steps ahead to anticipate and solve any problems.
- Leader and team player. You’ll play a coaching/ mentoring role for junior members of the team to accelerate their growth and learning. Putting the ladder back down to help others is important to you.
- Honest and open communicator. You’ll build strong relationships with people across the team and be a trusted partner for all thing software engineering. Your work reflects Kinde’s mission, vision and values.
- Great attention to detail. You’re able to get into the details and deliver quality results on time. You don’t let anything fall through the cracks.
- You work with calm determination. Our growth plans are bigger than big so you need to be excited to move quickly but able to keep a level head.
WAIT! Studies show that people identifying as women or from under-represented groups are far less likely to apply for roles if they don’t meet 100% of the requirements. There’s no such thing as a perfect candidate so please don’t self-reject – keep on reading! We’d love the opportunity to meet you.
Benefits at Kinde:
- Equity for everyone. Everyone who works for Kinde owns a part of the company. It means you think like an owner and make decisions like one too. When Kinde does well, you do well.
- Flexible and balanced work location and hours.
- You can work from a Kinde office.
- You can work from home.
- You can work from anywhere that has good internet.

- Build your side hustle on Kinde – free. Part of our vision is to create a world where more founders can thrive. That goes for our team too. So you get the Kinde platform for free – to build what you like on the side.
- 12+ weeks paid parental leave. It’s simple. 12 weeks equal paid parental leave for all genders, all family constructs. And an additional 4 weeks for the birthing parent to recognise the physical and medical factors that necessitate more time off work.
- Personal learning and development budget. We support our people to take part in professional development courses, on us. Building our collective skills and knowledge is how we become a company of giants.
- 20% time. Spend 20% of your time on passion projects that help make Kinde better. We also get together as teams once a quarter to take on bigger projects.
