Kota is making insurance and retirement benefits as accessible as modern software. We
do this across the Kota Platform - the world’s first fully integrated benefits platform and

generation of employees.
Kota was started in 2022 and has raised €20m from Europe’s top technology investors,
including Eurazeo, EQT Ventures, Northzone, Frontline, and angels, including Job Van
Der Voort of Remote, Romain Huet, formerly of Stripe, now Open AI, and David Clarke,
formerly of Workday. The companies our investors have previously backed or built
include Spotify, Airbnb, Klarna, Truelayer, Snapchat, Workday, Personio, Workvivo,
Pointy, Workable, Wayflyer, and more.able, Wayflyer and more.
Role Overview
We’re hiring a Product Engineer, AI & Internal Tooling to build the tools,
automations, and agentic AI applications that supercharge productivity across Kota.
This is the first hire on a brand-new team focused entirely on internal enablement -
giving you a unique opportunity to shape the function from scratch.
You’ll work across the stack and across the company - building retool dashboards,
building our tooling applications, internal APIs, low-code workflows (Zapier, n8n), and
most importantly, AI-powered internal agents using frameworks like Langchain,
Pydantic.
We’re looking for a jack-of-all-trades builder with a product mindset & someone who
doesn’t wait for specs, but proactively spots bottlenecks, prototypes solutions, and ships
fast.
This is not a typical software engineering role. It’s a high-leverage, high-autonomy
position for someone who thinks like a founder and ships like a hacker.
Why join us?
Build from Scratch – You’ll be the first engineer on the Internal Tooling team. You’ll
help set direction, standards, and the stack.
Agentic AI Work – Apply frameworks like Langchain & Pydantic to build smart,
autonomous tools that help Kota scale.
Fullstack Playground – Use the right tool for the job: React, Retool, AWS, n8n, Zapier,
Python, TypeScript - you name it.
End-to-End Ownership – You’ll help scope, ship, and support tools that make the
whole company faster.
No Red Tape – Move fast in a culture that trusts its builders and prioritizes shipping
value.
Immediate Impact – You’ll unblock teams, save hours, and make Kota run smoother
right from day one.
Modern Infra – Our current stack includes React Router, NextJs, .NET 8, AWS, Vercel,
PostgreSQL, and more. You are not limited by this.
What You’ll Do
• Build internal tools and automations across departments using a mix of code and
no-code.
• Design and deploy internal agentic apps powered by LLMs using Langchain or
similar frameworks.
• Create Retool dashboards, internal APIs, and one-off scripts that solve real
business problems.
• Collaborate with engineering, ben-ops, product, GTM, support and leadership to
understand pain points and ship solutions.
• Triage and clear the internal tooling backlog for our platform team in your first
60 days.
• Set up best practices and patterns for how internal tooling is built at Kota.
• Own your work from prototype to production, including performance,
monitoring, and scaling.
What We’re Looking for
• 6+ years of experience as a fullstack or generalist engineer using React &
Typescript or Python.
• Hands-on experience building agentic apps with tools like Langchain, LLMs,
RAG pipelines, or embedding models.
• Comfortable with Retool, Zapier, n8n, AWS Lambda, and similar tools.
• Strong product sense - you think in outcomes, not code; you love to ship fast.
• A “figure it out” mindset - self-directed, and excited to automate the boring stuff.
• Excellent communication and remote collaboration skills.
Bonus Points For:
• Prior startup or solo-founder experience
• Experience setting up observability and monitoring for internal systems
• Side projects where you have put AI to meaningful use
• Familiarity with developer experience tooling or internal enablement work
And of course.... Your employee benefits!
• Health Insurance contribution via Kota
• Access to a Workplace Pension with matched contributions up to 5% via Kota
• WFH stipend to support your home office needs
• Group Life Assurance via Kota
• Generous PTO - work hard and take the time you need
• Annual, company-wide offsite
