It's time to build. Whether it's creating more housing, upgrading our infrastructure, or adapting to climate change, one thing is clear: the construction industry is at the center of solving our biggest problems. We’re making buildings cheaper and easier to build by transforming the way commercial construction companies buy their materials. Join us.
Founded in 2018, Kojo is now one of the fastest-growing construction technology companies in the world. Construction accounts for $10 trillion in global spend annually and we can’t live without its output - our roads, schools, hospitals, and offices. Despite this, there’s been very little innovation over the past 70 years in how materials - which constitute up to 40% of project costs - are bought and sold. This is our opportunity.
Kojo’s newly formed Platform Team (PLT) is hiring a Platform Engineer to join our mission to solve enterprise scaling challenges, streamline customer experiences, and drive operational efficiency.
As an Engineer on the Platform Team, you will play a pivotal role in this hybrid software engineering and DevOps initiative. You’ll work on impactful, high-profile projects that directly shape the future of scalable enterprise solutions at Kojo.
This role will include:
Driving Enterprise scalability by designing and implementing solutions to enhance performance and reliability of our systems
Developing and deploying platform features that optimize and simplify the user journey for Kojo's clients and internal teams
Contributing to impactful projects such as self-service SSO implementation, multi-org user management enhancements, and internal tooling innovation
Designing improvements to database efficiency, ensuring reliability and scalability for Kojo’s growing platform
Partnering closely with SRE and other engineering teams to deliver robust, cross-functional solutions
Working on visible, high-profile initiatives that shape the future of Kojo's enterprise capabilities
Sharing occasional on-call responsibilities with the SRE team to maintain platform reliability
What you’ve accomplished:
Professional experience across the stack (Typescript/Javascript, PostgreSQL/MySQL, React/Angular/Vue.js)
Familiarity with RESTful APIs and integration with backend services
Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and how to integrate development processes into scalable workflows
Design and implementation of scalable, maintainable systems in complex environments
Strong collaboration and problem-solving skills, with experience working across teams to deliver high-impact solutions
Knowledge of feature flag systems and techniques to manage staged rollouts
Experience with user authentication systems such as SSO, OAuth, or SCIM protocols preferred
Familiarity with cloud infrastructure tools like AWS and Kubernetes for deployment and scaling preferred
Experience with internal tooling development and automation frameworks preferred
Exposure to frontend performance optimization techniques and best practices preferred
What you care about:
Impact: You accomplish amazing amounts of important work
Innovation: You look for “10x” solutions
Intentional Communication: You listen with openness and curiosity
