About Kapso
Kapso is WhatsApp for developers. We make it easy for builders and their agents to automate WhatsApp, and today more than 50,000 developers from all over the world use it. Along the way, we’ve processed more than 150 million messages for them.
We’ve been fortunate that developers enjoy using Kapso. In fact, that’s how we’re growing. Developers recommend the product to their friends and bring it to their companies.
We’re currently a team of just three engineers, but we’re looking to grow. WhatsApp is our starting point, and we’re thinking much bigger.
What you’ll do
You’ll be the first person at Kapso focused on growth. We want many more developers to find Kapso, and you’ll help us figure out how.
- You’ll make sure people see what we build. We ship new features and fixes every week, and you’ll build the system that turns them into posts, demos, and product emails.
- Beyond the product itself, you’ll help us tell stories. We think developers want to hear from other builders, whether that’s our team or the people building with Kapso, so you’ll find the stories worth telling and help us share them.
- You’ll bring Kapso into the developer and startup community. You’ll choose the hackathons and events where we belong, show up to help and give back, share Kapso with the people there, and build long-term relationships with organizers.
- You’ll work with creators, too. You’ll find developers and creators who would enjoy building with Kapso, get to know them, and coordinate content that shows the product working.
- As Kapso shows up in more places, you’ll take care of the brand. You’ll decide where Kapso appears and next to whom, and keep our voice consistent across all of it.
- And through all of this, you’ll learn what works. Together we’ll decide what to try, and you’ll run the experiments, measure the results, and over time test paid channels where they make sense.
What we’re looking for
- To do all of this well, you need taste. You can tell when content is worth sharing and when it’s generic, and you can explain why.
- You’re also deep into tech Twitter. You check X compulsively, you know what people are talking about this week, and you can tell what gets developers’ attention and what feels forced.
- You’ve put that into practice, growing an audience, a community, or a brand presence, for yourself or for a company.
- You’re comfortable around developers and technical products. You don’t need to be an engineer, but you can set up Kapso, connect it to an agent, and show it working.
- You enjoy meeting people, and you’re comfortable presenting, hosting, and speaking on camera in English.
- At the same time, you’re analytical. You like setting up experiments, reading the numbers, and turning what works into a repeatable process.
- You use AI a lot in your work, and that’s exactly why you can spot AI slop, whether it’s in your own drafts or someone else’s.
- And people can count on you. When you say you’ll do something, you do it, so partners, creators, and event organizers never have to chase you.
You might come from developer marketing, DevRel, community, or startup programs, or you might be a software engineer who wants to move into growth. Either way, what you’ve made matters more than a particular title.
Practical details
We’re remote, and you’ll work directly with the founder and the engineering team. During the first few months, that means substantial overlap with the founder’s working hours, so we can build shared context quickly. You should also expect some travel for events.
The salary range is USD 4,000–6,000 gross per month, plus 0.1%–0.5% in stock options. The final package will depend on your experience, the scope of the role, and how you’d like to balance salary and stock options.
