Why join koodos labs?

You should join koodos labs for the people and our mission.

We aspire to build the best team of the 2020s. Just like PayPal in the 90s, Google in the 00s, and Stripe in the 10s, we want to be known as "a place where it's good to be from." If you join us, we promise to be the best place to grow your career — with the best people you've ever worked with. We’re also working on a very bold mission.

We care deeply about giving people more agency over their online experience, and helping people connect more deeply with themselves and others. We will be the company that’ll invert the internet's personal data model and put individuals in control of their digital life.

What we’re building

We’re the creators of Shelf – a digital storefront for your taste that builds a private data store around your consumption habits. Hundreds of thousands of people use Shelf to track what they consume, share what they’re into, and connect more meaningfully with others.

Under the hood is DataMover, a tool enabling users to authenticate and extract their own data from any site to store privately on Shelf, where they can selectively provision access. This “Plaid for user data” is already in use by a number of apps and agents, including Shelf, helping users reclaim and consolidate over half a billion data points, unlocking experiences otherwise impossible.

The Opportunity

We believe that the way consumers and businesses interact with their data will drastically improve in the next few years. Koodos Labs is building the products and infrastructure that’ll usher this shift and you'll be essential in achieving this vision.

We’re looking for an experienced, thoughtful engineer with deep experience building integrations to sites without APIs. This includes reverse engineering APIs, building browser automations, remotely authenticating users, using proxies, and more.

This role is focused on building the foundations of DataMover — the underlying infrastructure that Shelf is built on, and that a number of other apps are starting to use for user-provisioned access to data.

In this role:

• You will play a major role in technical architecture, working alongside our CTO (ex-founder & led product & engineering teams at Improbable) to define and implement scalable systems, API schema, and select the tools, technologies, and processes for our engineering team.
• You will lead our efforts to build integrations with a myriad of services across the internet, including standard OAuth integrations and manual GUI-based integrations. These integrations play a major role in our strategy moving forward so this is a critical role for which you would have significant ownership.
• You will help define the culture of the engineering team and the company as a whole. You should be curious about new technologies and finding ways to solve problems. You should enjoy internal collaboration.
