About Kombo Kombo is a YC-backed, fast-growing start-up, building a global unified API for HR, payroll and recruiting systems. We grew from 0 revenue to 3M ARR within 2 years and with a team of ±20, and are looking for our first B2B marketer to join the team, build, and scale the marketing function. For more details (and fun pictures), check out our culture page :) We are enabling 200 partners globally to focus on building their core product while we power their integrations with thousands of customers. Instead of having to get their hands on a sandbox environment, build the integration code, and figure out the edge cases dozens of times, they can integrate Kombo once and have access to hundreds of tools out of the box.
