About Kintent
Kintent (https://www.kintent.com) is on a mission to make it effortless to earn trust in every business relationship. We believe that if your customers trust you, they will do more with you. Core to that mission is our belief that compliance doesn’t have to be a grind, and we’re genuinely excited to bring a sense of joy into a traditionally drab space.
Our first trust use case is focused on data security and privacy compliance. Kintent’s Trust Management Platform democratizes every company’s ability to quickly and cost-effectively adopt formal security and privacy programs, measure the accuracy of the program against compliance standards, and confidently share their program with customers by using AI to answer security questionnaires.
With Kintent, compliance becomes a habit, is simple to understand and implement, and is continuously testable so that your customers can see that you are adhering to all your compliance obligations.
About the Role
We are looking for a skilled senior software developer / architect to join our engineering team. In this role, you will have the opportunity to define and implement the core architecture of the Kintent platform, lead the engineering effort for one of Kintent’s products, and shape ideas and user feedback into delightful experiences.

Kintent is a highly collaborative, tight-knit team that prioritizes accessibility, inclusion, and independent thought. We’ll work to support you as you settle into your new role (and beyond), and expect that you do the same for your colleagues.

We’re all here to help one another build great things.
