🚀 Join Kontigo (YC S24) as a Founding Engineer

Kontigo is on a mission to revolutionize finance by building a USDC-Smart Neobank specifically designed for the Latino community. We are looking for a high-impact engineer to join our core team.

💼 Role Overview: Founding Engineer

We aren't looking for a typical employee; we are looking for someone to operate in founder mode. This is a full-time, full-stack engineering position.

💰 Compensation & Logistics

"Men wanted for hazardous journey. Honour and recognition in event of success."

This isn't a standard corporate 9-to-5; it is a high-stakes venture. If you are driven by the prospect of massive success and are willing to navigate the risks of an early-stage startup, this is for you.
