Job description

Known - Product Engineer, React

  • San Francisco, CA (In-Person)
  • 150-200k + Equity

Known is a matchmaker that talks to users and supports them like a friend. Our mission is to make finding love one of the defining achievements of abundant general intelligence.

Users join Known by telling us their life story. On average, they spend 27 minutes talking to our conversational AI, sharing the experiences, hopes, and complexities that make them who they are. This gives us an extraordinary depth of personal context, and an even greater responsibility to earn and protect the trust behind it.

We are a team of ex-founders, engineers, and go-to-market operators who've helped build and scaled some of the world's most influential consumer AI products, including Uber, Uber Eats, Airbnb, Bland, and Faire.

We love to work hard, with a high degree of autonomy and ownership. We work together in Cow Hollow, San Francisco.

About the Role

We are looking for exceptional product builders to continue to elevate the Known mobile app. Building Known is an exercise in design. We strive to be the Apple of dating and our engineers are artisans who steward quality. We are a product-led, user-obsessed company. Our goal is to craft a product that feels intentional and distinctly human.

You might be a fit if you

  • Primarily work as a React Native engineer
  • Build products centered around complex audio and voice features
  • Want to design intelligence that leads to 1 million marriages
  • Are highly detail oriented

Our Investors We’re backed by Eurie Kim and Kirsten Green at Forerunner Ventures (the investors behind Decagon, Faire, and Oura), NFX and PearVC.
