Product and engineering at Kota, always open to exceptional people

Dublin, London or remote across Europe

Some of these are live roles right now, others aren't yet. Either way, we're building a pool of people we'd want to hire into product and engineering at Kota as we grow over the next few months.

We don't hire for a language or a framework, and our engineering roles are full stack. Integrations is the one place we'd expect a backend lean, and even there nobody stops at the edge of one codebase. Benefits is a genuinely hard domain, multi-provider, multi-country and largely unmodernised, and the learning curve is the product rather than the stack. If you'd rather own a problem end to end than pick up well-specified tickets, we want to hear from you.

• Product engineer: you make product calls, not just technical ones, and you'd rather talk to a customer than wait for a spec

• API: on Embed the API is the product, not the plumbing, and you've built things other developers had to live with

• Integrations: multi-provider, multi-market, and the systems we don't control. The one place we'd expect a backend lean

• Product lead: you own vision and strategy for an area, and you've shipped something from nothing

• Product design: high craft bar, comfortable with complex workflows, and you sweat the states nobody else looks at

• Leadership: you've led engineers or designers and you're still close enough to the work to be useful

• AI-native, whatever your title: you use AI to plan, build and review, and you're critical about what it gives you

• Something else: if none of those quite fit but you can see where you'd add something here, tell us

If what you've told us matches a live role, we'll move you into that process.

If it doesn't yet, you'll be in the pool and we'll come back to you when something opens that fits. We're a small team, so we can't promise a conversation with everyone who applies, but we do read everything and we'd rather hear from you early than not at all.

• Have Integrity. We care deeply about our why and it won't jeopardise our how.

• Care Deeply. Our products are our story, we look at the details, go the extra mile to delight customers.

• Own Your Ship. Ask why, do the work, get the data, solve the problem, be an owner.

• Raise the Bar. We continuously look to push past good enough. Expect more, move faster, and never stop raising your and the team's standards.

• Play to Win. We exist because we decided to say no to the norm - now we do this everyday.

• Attractive stock options to share in the success of Kota

• Health Insurance

• Life assurance (country dependent)

• Up to 5% matched contribution to a Workplace Pension (country dependent)

• WFH stipend to support your home office needs
