Kadeya is re-imagining the $12.5 billion American beverage market by building a closed-loop vending IoTplatform powered by a digitally connected network of reusable bottles and bottle dispenser stations. Think ofus as the Citi Bike or Divvy of beverages. We deliver convenient, quality, tasty hydration without the waste.
Our users — employees in Industrial and Construction environments — access delicious water and flavoredbeverage through a quick, contactless, mobile-first process. Users get access to custom hydration andenvironmental-impact data, so they know the more they drink with Kadeya, the healthier they, and the restof the planet, will be.
About You
We are looking for a smart, driven, creative individual, passionate about building products from scratch. You will oversee the development of Kadeya software platform – user app and webapp, subscriptions, rewards programs, mobile payments, data gathering, data visualization and the back end to support all these features.
We also want to build a team around this individual that will grow our product and processes over the years.
You will report to the Chief Product Officer with daily interaction with the CEO, the business team, hardware engineers, UX lead, and graphic designers as we build and iterate on our first broad availability webapp and as we expand data collection over the next year from one IoT station to dozens in the field, expanding our reach to thousands of users.
Kadeya requires excellent communication and interpersonal skills. We’re a startup, so teamwork, ability and desire to learn, being proactive, and passion for sustainability are more important than any specific skill set. With Kadeya, the ocean is the limit!
