New York City · Full-time · In-person
koodos labs is building personal intelligence that works for the person it represents.
Today, many of the richest portraits of us sit inside the services we use. They learn what we love, what we avoid, what we choose, and what we might do next. But that understanding is fragmented, built for someone else’s purposes, and rarely accrues back to us.
We think it should.
Our mission is to put personal intelligence within your control: to help people bring together the context they choose, understand and refine what Shelf learns on their behalf, and decide how that context can be used.
You should join koodos labs for the people and our mission. We aspire to build the best team of the 2020s, a place where it’s good to be from.
We built Shelf to power this vision.
Millions of people choose to connect Shelf to services like Spotify, Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, Goodreads, and more. Shelf aggregates that activity on their behalf. Every rating, comment, correction, or addition helps refine the picture, and our proprietary models turn those signals into structured, queryable personal context.
That context is already being put to work: users and creators have built hundreds of hyper-personal apps on Shelf, from personality tests and quizzes to personal utilities, powered by the context a person chooses to make available.
Long term, we want that context to travel with the person, so they can choose which apps, services, and agents can use it.
We’re looking for an experienced, thoughtful full-stack engineer with strong product judgment, systems-level thinking, and an eye for high-quality user experiences.
You’ll work across native clients and backend systems on the loop that makes Shelf valuable: helping people connect context, making Shelf’s understanding legible and correctable, and building the app platform where that understanding becomes useful.
We’re a native-first team: Swift/SwiftUI on iOS, Kotlin/Compose on Android, with a TypeScript-on-Hono backend running on Cloudflare. We welcome candidates with deep native mobile experience who can also work meaningfully on the backend, as well as full-stack engineers who think holistically about architecture, performance, data, and UX.
We’re also an AI-native team. Claude, Cursor, Codex, and other agents are part of how the work gets done. We expect you to direct them well, critique their output sharply, and use them to ship materially more than you could alone.
In this role you will:
