As a member of the founding engineering team at Kombai, you'd work directly with the CTO and CEO to build a global product for the frontend dev teams from scratch. Together, we'd have a crack at several hard, high-impact problems - often involving challenges across product, engineering, and research areas.
Note: Unlike most organizations, the frontend developers at Kombai will not work primarily on the frontend of the product. Instead, they will work on developing the core product, which is for the frontend devs like themselves. That's why we are naming the roles as "product engineers", instead of the usual software developer/engineer nomenclature.

For all positions of our early engineering team we are looking for people who:
- Are fully hands-on with latest JS development
- Are good frontend and web application architects
- Are quick and agile
- Have a good learning, problem solving and logical aptitude

In addition to the above, the candidates for Senior Product Engineer should also have:
- Thorough understanding of good Frontend engineering & architecture practices. In our experience, this usually comes from working in an excellent frontend team with an excellent architect, on a complex applications
- Experience: 3-6 years
