<aside> 👋🏽 Hi, it’s great that you found us! We hope this page will allow you to get to know us better – and we hope we’ll soon get to know you, too.

Kombo’s mission is to enable HR tech companies to build the future of work, with the vision to create a better working life for 3 billion people.
Kombo builds a unified API for HR, recruiting, and payroll systems. The founding team met at university and worked together through two companies in the API space before joining Y-Combinator in 2022 to build Kombo.
We're now a ****team of 15 working with companies of all sizes – from Fortune 500 companies down to early-stage startups – to help them integrate dozens of software vendors within 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 use a well-documented and clean abstraction provided by Kombo once.
We grew from 0 to 100+ customers over the last year and are looking for new team members to help us grow and scale. Join us! 🤗
Kombo is an in-person company, and we currently come to our beautiful office in Berlin every day.
Being in the office enables us to be dynamic and fast, and it’s also a great opportunity to build relationships, work with your teammates, and collaborate on projects.
We want to help every candidate feel prepared and know exactly what to expect. Our process usually consists of three steps:
Explore a snippet of our culture captured in the short photo gallery below. We’re quite fun, if we say so ourselves. :)

↓ collectively building a table (now hosted in the pair-programming room :))
We don’t want to just advertise the proverbial ‘coffee, fruit, and snacks in the office’ (although we have plenty of that too). We are working on building a culture of exceptional people, therefore we make sure to offer our team an environment in which they can bring their full selves and get all the support they need to be the best version of themselves. We’re still working on it, but here is a quick summary of what we’re currently thinking.
Join us as an owner! We believe in generous equity for all, fostering a sense of ownership as we grow. Your hard work is directly tied to the company's success, and we're all in this together.
We spend a lot of hours at work so we choose our “5 people we spend most time with” intentionally.
The people at Kombo are an exceptional bunch with diverse backgrounds (5+ nationalities and counting). They studied at Harvard, Oxford, CODE University, worked at McKinsey, Leapsome, Digital Asset, etc., and 50% of us are ex-founders.
Plus, we have some very fun hobbies in the team:
There is always something new to learn and do at Kombo. Just last year, we have:
and plan to triple our revenue and team in the next year. We’re one of the fastest-growing startups in Berlin, so your journey with us means continuous growth, impact, and the chance to be part of something big right from the start.
We’re building a vibrant work culture with frequent (monthly+) company events to bring us together. We want to foster a community where the team can connect, collaborate, and celebrate success.
We also have some of the ‘usual’ start-up benefits, such as a subsidized gym membership, breakfast and snack foods, and a public transport ticket.
