About Kiku
Kiku is the first automation platform built for the 80 % of the global workforce – front-of-house staff, retail associates, caregivers, drivers, warehouse teams - workers that make society function.
We focus on 2 things at Kiku:
- 10x efficiency in hiring
- 10x the experience for candidates.
Our AI-agent is specialized in high-volume hiring flows - finding, engaging, and shortlisting candidates 24/7 in 100 + languages, at a fraction of manual recruiting cost and with a far better experience for applicants and hiring managers.
We’ve just closed a substantial seed round led by Cherry Ventures (plus top EU angels) and are assembling the founding team that will turn Kiku from clever prototype into a category-defining product.
Why Join Kiku
- Mission with real impact – fair, efficient hiring for billions; revenue follows genuine value.
- Learning-obsessed culture – every user call, release, and mis-step feeds the next iteration.
- AI inflection point – voice + LLMs make yesterday’s workflows obsolete overnight; we’re surfing that wave.
- Zero-to-one canvas – nothing is sacred yet: influence product, org structure, rituals - even Slack emojis.
- Small team, loud impact – decisions you make this quarter echo for years.
- Fresh capital, real traction – funding secured, early customers live, pipeline growing fast.
- Meaningful equity – own a sizable slice of the upside.
Your Mission
Own the product end-to-end and make it indispensable for hiring teams everywhere.
- Craft the core experience – voice UX, recruiter dashboards, candidate flows.
- Ship what matters, fast – weekly user interviews → clear priorities → tight releases.
- Scale the platform – modernise voice-AI infra, integrations, data pipelines.
- Own the roadmap – balance quick wins with moat-building bets; communicate trade-offs crisply.
- Orchestrate cross-functional magic – align design, engineering, CS, and sales around measurable goals.
- Shape company strategy – influence positioning, fundraising story, GTM experiments, investor updates.
What We’re Looking For – Personal Qualities
- Natural curiosity – treat every feature request as a puzzle to understand, not just to build.
- Grit & determination – versions one-to-five flop? you dig until version six sings.
- Commitment to excellence – “good enough” feels itchy; you polish the last 5 % users notice.
- Humility – strong opinions, loosely held; change course gladly when data proves you wrong.
- Founder mindset – spot problems, rally resources, execute before being asked.
- Impact-driven – care more about shipped value than presentation decks or tweet threads.
Baseline Experience
- 3–6 years as a PM in fast-moving B2B SaaS or AI/ML-heavy products.
- Proven record of shipping core functionality and explaining the “why” behind success or failure.
- Comfortable turning fuzzy user needs into crisp specs, prototypes, and shipped code alongside engineers.
- Data-fluent (self-serve SQL/Python or similar).
- Bonus: HR tech, hiring workflows, voice interfaces, or frontline-heavy verticals.
Team You’ll Join
A tight squad of engineers and GTM folks who ship weekly, think in bets, and default to action. Kiku was founded by Eric & Rasmus – both with 10 + years in tech and scale-ups. We move fast and have fun doing serious work.
