Full Stack Laravel / Vue Engineer

Character

We’re a tight-knit team. Every one of us genuinely loves what we do; we love KYC and we’re in this to win for the right reasons- we want to create a happier world through happier travelers and yes, we each have our unique set of life goals that we hope KYC can enable us to achieve.

Most importantly, we are a team that places utmost priority on mutual respect, kindness and empathy. We have zero tolerance for disrespectful and inappropriate behavior, crass language, laziness, lack of integrity, racism, ageism, sexism or any other kind of negative -ism you can think of. If you’re looking for the kind of infamous “perks” that come with some Silicon Valley companies like sponsored binge drinking, illicit behavior encouragement, “bro” mentality, cutting corners in your work- we are not the right company for you.

We’re searching for decent human beings who believe in good old fashioned hard work and earning success through ethical behavior. We respect people who have strong beliefs but who can communicate their thoughts and ideas respectfully and thoroughly AND are humble enough to admit when they’re wrong or that a colleague’s method may be better.

Passion for Food

You must love food. If you don’t have a huge passion for food, you probably won’t get along with any of us.

COMPENSATION & PERKS

Salary varies by the local market.

Work from home most of the time and enjoy the flexibility to skip traffic. Our team gathers in person as needed, usually quarterly, offering valuable opportunities for collaboration and connection.

Stay in the world’s most awesome Hotels from mid-tier to luxury.

Arguably the most important perk- genuine respect and caring from the entire team, as you’re part of our KYC family.
