—- WHAT IS KIPLOT?

Kiplot enables large organizations to turn their strategies into reality.

We belong to a new breed of enterprise software—beautiful, visual, interactive, easy to use, and endlessly configurable without technical expertise or paid support. Our customers rave about the product and the business outcomes it drives for them. Now, we’re focused on building more incredible features and onboarding more companies to reap the benefits Kiplot provides.

We are backed by a consortium of angel investors and are already profitable. Despite being a young start-up, Kiplot’s platform is relied upon by some of the world’s biggest and best-known financial services companies in the UK and abroad (sorry, we can only name some of them publicly).

We are looking for extremely smart, and exceptionally driven people to join us as we transform ways of working in enterprise organizations.

— ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for passionate software craftspeople to help us take our platform to the next level and reach more organizations. United by a collective sense of pragmatism and purpose, we aim to continue building a product that fundamentally changes the working lives of our customers.

From a technical perspective, there’s no better time to join Kiplot. Our product roadmap is packed with complex, greenfield features, and you’ll be instrumental in designing, building, and scaling these innovations from the ground up.
