Job description

Head of Engineering Location: San Francisco, CA or Remote 💻 About the company Every app inevitably lacks features that may never be developed. Imagine being able to seamlessly incorporate your dream widget into Spotify or add that long-desired group booking feature to Airbnb. IntegrationsCaptain is creating the necessary infrastructure and tools for companies to enhance their extensibility, allowing users to bring their creative ideas to life. Our vision is to make every product an open platform . We believe openness is not about fearing competition but rather a show of strength. Apple’s AppStore has positioned their products as the leading platform. With IntegrationsCaptain every product gets an app store of connections, plugins, extensions, widgets, components and whatever possible. As the SaaS landscape experiences rapid growth, the need for improved inter-company cooperation becomes crucial, bringing forth significant challenges. Virtually every Series B or later software product now integrates with other products. Companies are contemplating third-party integrations earlier than before. IntegrationsCaptain simplifies this substantial task, making it both easy and swift. Whether small startups or large corporations, both can swiftly launch comprehensive marketplaces and begin reaping the benefits of their ecosystems. This is a lot to work on, but our goal of making every app open is worth the challenge. Join us! 🤝 About the founder Koby Soto is a two-time founder.
