Job description

Kaiyo is an online marketplace for buying and selling used furniture built on the belief that the future of furniture is in high quality items with long lives. Used furniture is more sustainable and more accessible. It's a win-win.

Kaiyo is at an inflection point. Our first hub in New York is growing rapidly and operating efficiently with stellar reviews from both buyers and sellers, which means it's time to take what we have and scale. Our team is experienced. We've scaled companies before and seen successful exits. We know we've got something special here and we can't wait to take it to the next level.

About the role:

Kaiyo is searching for a Software Engineer to join our tech team. This is an opportunity to have an enormous impact on our business at an early stage. You should be prepared to study the ins and outs of our business and work directly with stakeholders to deliver technology that will allow the company to hit our goals as we scale. The role will involve contributing across the full scope of our technology from our e-commerce site, to our internal operations tools and our data analysis pipeline.

You'll be thinking critically about our business, writing a bunch of code, and developing ownership over areas of technology to allow your role to scale as we grow. This is a great role for an engineer with a couple years of experience looking for a fast-paced environment where they can grow into a senior engineer who owns large high priority projects for the team.

Responsibilities:

  • Familiarize yourself with Kaiyo's technology and contribute to high priority projects wherever they arise across the codebase
  • Collaborate with other engineers to execute projects by claiming and executing tickets in our weekly sprints
  • Deliver technology that is tested, monitored, and ready for scale
  • Participate in an on-call rotation for issues with deployed technology
  • Contribute to continuously raising the standard for readability, scalability, and security of our code, through code reviews and by identifying and advocating for the cleanup of tech-debt
  • Help maintain documentation on our software
Desired qualifications:
  • A software engineer with at least 2 years professional experience
  • Experience with some of the languages, frameworks and tooling that are already in use at Kaiyo: Python, Flask, JavaScript, React, Docker, Terraform, Postgres, HTML, CSS
  • Open-minded and willing to be flexible and work within constraints when it comes to tooling, choice of programming language, framework etc.
  • A clear and proactive communicator both with technical and non-technical team members
  • Passionate about sustainability
