Full-Stack Engineer

Kindred — the members-only home swapping platform that unlocks a travel-rich lifestyle through community, letting renters and owners exchange primary residences with trusted peers and explore new destinations affordably — is hiring a Full-Stack Engineer. Since launching in 2022 Kindred has grown to a global community of 300,000 members across 150+ cities, positioning home swapping as a radically more affordable, responsible and connected third option alongside short-term rentals and hotels. The company has raised over $150M from Index Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, New Enterprise Associates, Bessemer Venture Partners, Caffeinated Capital, Elad Gil, and founders of Opendoor, Figma and ClassPass; its co-founders come from the early team at Opendoor. This role is for a full-stack engineer who leads with UI/UX craft — building polished, dynamic consumer experiences in React and React Native with the backend depth to take a feature from idea to production without a handoff. You will own features end-to-end: shaping the interaction, building the interface, writing the APIs and data models behind it, then shipping, measuring and iterating across web and mobile. Requires 3+ years building consumer-facing applications with real depth in React and React Native, fluency in TypeScript across the stack (Next.js, React Native/Expo, Node + GraphQL over Postgres), a sharp eye for UI detail, and the product judgment to work from a rough direction. Benefits: competitive cash compensation and equity, comprehensive health benefits, flexible time off plus 12 paid holidays, 21 credits per year to stay in Kindred homes, a $4,000 annual travel stipend, and a remote-first and remote-flexible environment with opportunities to work from anywhere and gather in person, including at Kindred HQ in San Francisco.
