Overview

Software Engineer @ Kilo Code

About Kilo : We're building the fastest-evolving open-source AI coding agent to make programming accessible to billions. In just a few months : #1 AI coding tool on OpenRouter, over 250K downloads, countless 5-star reviews, multiple Hacker News front page articles. But we're just getting started.

Kilo Code is more than just another coding tool. We're creating a superset of the best features from existing AI coding agents, combined with our own innovations, all built with community feedback at the core.

The situation : We’re an open source AI coding tool taking on Cursor, Windsurf, and the rest. We are growing fast and want to work with other engineers excited about accelerating software development across the globe while shipping features our users love.

You are : Responsibilities

• Into building features and product more than obsessing on the details of technology, but can also go deep on technology when needed to solve problems
• Fast. Like, uncomfortably fast for normal companies. Ship a bad feature Monday, fix it Tuesday, scale it Wednesday.
• Someone who both likes to use agents to code with them and still rolls their sleeves up and writes hand-typed farm-to-table code line by line when things get tricky
• Knows the balance between moving fast & breaking things and moving too fast & causing a forest fire and loves dancing on that knife edge
• Kind, thoughtful, honest, open, and patient with others
