Founding Engineer for a mission-driven co.

Hello! We’re an early-stage, post-raise web3/NFT startup, est in San Francisco, looking for founding engineers.

About us

• Kairos empowers everyday artists and big-name brands to succeed in the NFT space. Any creator to go from idea to web3 sale in 10 minutes with Kairos—make artwork, create a branded minting page, and deploy a smart contract, entirely no-code with amazing UX.
• Mission: Our job isn’t just to make technology. We’re using our talents to make radical and diverse participation in web3.
• Ways of working: The founders have lead/founded teams in some of the biggest tech companies—Airbnb, Brex, and Slack—and run multiple previous startups. Making complex technology consumer-friendly is at our core; and running healthy, empowered teams comes naturally to us.
• Team diversity: Diversity isn’t a buzzword to us, it must be proven with action. Our founding team is diverse in background, gender, and perspective. We’ve chosen diverse advisors and investors. Our hiring process is standardised and objective (one of our founders created Airbnb’s Core Values interview process.)

Responsibilities

• Looking for 100% React FE, or 70/30% FE & Solana/Rust. Solidity experience is also welcome.
• Lead build post-MVP. Own the Node JS frontend/backend experience of creating generative NFTs and publishing minting websites. Big scope! Think Shopify for NFTs.
• Be a strategic partner to the founders in planning roadmaps and long-term visions.
• Meet users and iterate based on feedback. Understanding users is a big part of our process. Creators are interesting folks—from everyday artists to celebrities looking to move volume.
• Help grow the company. Partner with the CTO to contribute to team culture, interviewing, and organisation (if you want.)
