Job Description

We are 32 people in London & San Francisco and just getting started. Our engineering team are 13 people working in two product crews shipping some unbelievable products and features for our clients like Google, Airbnb, Netflix & IDEO globally. Those clients all sound really impressive, and they are, but we’re most proud of our cross-functional product-focused technology team who delight them. As our first Engineering Manager you will be joining a team of extremely talented and motivated people who love nothing more than solving problems for the teams that use Kalo.

One of Kalo core values is ‘Go Together’ and we are looking for an ambitious and experienced Engineering Manager to join us on this amazing journey.

We believe in autonomy and giving people the opportunity to come up with innovative, creative ideas that drive the business forward. We feel that the best Software Engineers (and the ones that are right for Kalo) are self-starters who can work well as part of a larger team and who can build enthusiasm and empower the team with their ideas, making sure their goals work for everyone (not just focusing on current or short term goals).

At Kalo, we believe that work as we know it is undergoing a profound change. Every day, people around the world are getting things done on more flexible, more dynamic, more variable, and more distributed terms.

Our mission is to enable this shift to flexible work, by empowering companies and individuals to work together in new ways. In 2015, we launched our solution to let companies easily onboard, manage, talk with, and pay their external workers. Since then, a range of of companies from internet to fashion -- including Netflix, Asos, IDEO and AirBnB -- have been able to throw away their tangle of spreadsheets and invoice emails, and work together with their freelancer and vendor teams in a clean, beautiful experience.

Our own team at Kalo is just getting started. Located in London and San Francisco, we are super excited about the opportunity ahead of us. We take our work very seriously, but we never take ourselves too seriously. We love teaming up on hard problems without much guidance, and we don’t believe in titles. Messing up is OK, we love people who enjoy learning from experiments.
