Kombo - Product Engineer (Full Stack)

• You love building things and take pride in your engineering work. You will be among peers at Kombo. • You are able to own customer problems end-to-end and enjoy taking responsibility. • You appreciate radically candid feedback and want to work in an environment where you can also give it. • You love the energy of being in the office, dedicate a lot to the environment, and work alongside motivated people. • Putting it differently; why you shouldn’t apply • You are looking for a remote-friendly environment where the default is working from home. We do make exceptions (e.g. working remote while spending time with your family away from Berlin, or having a handyman at home). • You like getting well prepared work assigned and not having to think about the order or communication. You will not get any specced tickets at Kombo. • You dislike the discomfort of giving or receiving radically candid feedback. • You look for a chill job. Everyone at Kombo loves what they do, and everyone comes with the intention of pushing hard. • Your First 90 Days at Kombo • On day 1, you will receive your laptop and other gear, set up the codebase, and read through our onboarding guide. In the afternoon, you will receive a small task (usually doable in less than 2 hours) and get your first PR released and announced. • Integrations are a core part of our product, and you'll spend the first 30 days getting comfortable with our codebase and how our data syncing works. Users will usually connect their first customer on the day you announce the integration to them. • In the next 30 days, you will join our support engineering team and troubleshoot issues with customers. This shows you the struggles our customers face and how our product is actually used. • After 60 days, you are set up to work on your first initiative and start building up ownership in one of our product verticals. • We keep things at Kombo very lean and minimal; therefore, we believe the two important things you should bring are product sense and strong programming skills in TypeScript. The rest can be learned on the job. • At Kombo, you will work with a completely type-safe monorepo written in TypeScript, a Postgres DB that we interact with through Prisma, and a Redis instance. Our infrastructure is entirely managed through Terraform and hosted on GCP. Our frontend is built with React and Tailwind, a bit of shadcn, and receives data through type-safe tRPC queries from the backend. • When you join the hiring process with Kombo, you will quickly notice that we do things differently than other companies: we skip the BS and are considerate of your time. If you have availability, we will go through the entire process in less than two weeks. • Quick call with our recruiter to confirm some facts. • 45-minute Deep Dive call with the hiring manager (we are hiring across all teams). You will explore together with them what Kombo is like and what you are looking for, and if that’s a match for both of us. • Tech Interview with the hiring manager and another engineer. The main part will be a project that you present to us that you worked on in the past.

This is the most important part of our process because you will work in the office on a real challenge and experience the actual Kombo.
