About the role:
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to work on our GUI.

Why will you enjoy this new opportunity?
Kong’s Mesh team is building Kong’s Service Mesh offering: Kong Mesh which is based on the CNCF sandbox project Kuma. It also builds a SaaS product part of Kong’s Konnect. Kong Mesh is a Service Mesh made with these principles in mind:
-Simplicity
-Multi-region
-Multi environment
-Solving real-world problems first
Kuma and Kong Mesh are growing very quickly and are used by many Fortune 500 companies as well as early-stage startups.
As a frontend engineer in the Service Mesh team, you will be working with Vue.js in Typescript on Kuma’s and Kong Mesh’s GUIs as a core contributor. This means you will help design, build, and ship new features in both projects.
You will work with the rest of the core team on designing APIs for new features and be a source of input for future evolutions of the GUI. You will also work closely with designers on the next evolution of the GUI and work with a high level of autonomy.
Open source is important, but so is business. Kong is a Gartner Magic Quadrant leader (4 years in a row), and recently passed $100M ARR. If you join the team, you’ll be part of the rocket ship that is defining an industry.
