Company Description
Klyk is a UK B-Corp startup using AI to simplify workplace IT. We supply hardware and provide instant support via AI agents, escalating complex issues to customers' IT team or ours. Taking a circular approach, we extend device lifespans, recycle old equipment to cut emissions, and partner with clients to donate tech to children in need.
Role Description
We’re looking for a Senior Founding Engineer with strong full-stack experience to build and shape the Klyk platform.
This is a foundational position with significant autonomy. Joining as our second founding software engineer, you will work directly alongside our first founding engineer and Ali Sarraf (Cofounder & CPTO) to take our product to the next level, scale our systems, and build out core features for our pilot pipeline.
As an early technical hire, you will influence everything from architecture and tooling to engineering culture and long-term product direction. Expect variety, ownership, and the opportunity to help define how a modern, sustainable IT platform should work.
This role suits someone who thrives in early-stage environments, enjoys solving ambiguous problems, and wants to work on meaningful technology that has both business and environmental impact.

- Have experience working with cloud infrastructure providers and database technologies (e.g. SQL/no-SQL).
- Are excited by zero-to-one building, high ownership, and working closely with a small, high-velocity founding team.
- Can work seamlessly across the stack and learn quickly in unfamiliar areas.
- Enjoy turning loosely defined problems into clear, practical solutions.
- Communicate clearly in writing and async, and value collaboration.
