Builder @ Kikoff
Senior fintech professional at growth-stage Kikoff (strong industry fit) with co-founder experience, CS PhD, and LinkedIn Premium, but current 'Builder'/Head of Design role is adjacent rather than a primary technical hiring authority, limiting decision-making influence over engineering headcount.
Tao, going from leading design at Google to building product hands on at Kikoff is a sharp pivot. When design and shipping live with one person, engineering bandwidth usually sets the pace. We place senior LatAm engineers straight into product teams, same timezone, so builders ship faster. Curious how you are covering eng capacity at Kikoff these days?
2026-06-15 04:09Shipping product hands on with HTML, CSS and JavaScript is one thing, but the backend and data work behind a credit product like Kikoff scales on a different curve. We drop senior LatAm engineers into teams within days, fully aligned with Bay Area hours, so your build pace holds. Are you covering that engineering load yourself right now, or do you have backend help while you stay on product?
