Full Stack Python Developer

Full Stack Engineer

Salary: up to £55,000

At Kydo, we believe that too often ideas for innovation come from random moments of insight, resulting in the vast majority of innovation failing. As such, we are building technology that enhances creative thinking, enabling anyteam in any business to deliver breakthrough innovation. We’ve even given this new approach to innovation a name – klydoscope thinking.

Our first step to achieving this is developing a market insights tool with a creative edge. Using an inventive combination of machine learning and beautiful data visualisation, Klydo taps into the wealth of information that exists online and helps companies come up with their next breakthrough product idea. By understanding the why and how behind every product in a market, we can uncover the whitespace innovation opportunities – just imagine a tool that could have spotted the insight behind BrewDog, Deliveroo and Monzo before they did. That’s where we’re heading.

To help us on our journey, we’ve got the backing of world-class VC investors, including those behind Shazam, Zoopla and LoveFilm to name just a few. We’ve also signed up leading consumer brands to partner with and we’ll be growing the team fourfold over the next year. We’re excited to offer you the opportunity to be part of our founding team and play a major role in shaping Klydo from the beginning.
