About Kombo
Kombo builds a unified API for HR, payroll and recruiting systems. We're working with companies of all sizes - from Fortune 500 companies down to early stage startups - to help them integrate dozens of software vendors within a few days instead of months.
Instead of having to get their hands on a sandbox environment, build the integration code and figure out the edge cases dozens of times, they can only once use a well documented and clean abstraction provided by Kombo.
We grew from 0 revenue to >$1M ARR within a year and are looking for skilled engineers to help us improve and scale our product. For more details (and pictures!), check out our culture page!
