Strictly no agencies or recruiters please! We only want to hear from applicants directly.
What’s Ko-fi?
Ko-fi is the go-to platform for indie creators to make money doing what they love.
So far Ko-fi Creators have earned $200 Million from Donations, Memberships and sales of products and Commissions. We grew 88% in 2021.
We started in 2012, before the “Creator Economy” was even a thing. Now, millions of people visit the service that has helped fund hundreds of thousands of creators.
Things you’ll do
Work directly with Nigel, Ko-fi’s original founder and the rest of the product team. Learn and teach each other while doing your best work and building a platform to help creators across the globe to do what they love.
Develop new core features. From innovative payment technologies, to supporter management features and mobile apps. You will be leading high-impact projects at the heart of Ko-fi.
Integrate with the best consumer technologies. Integrate Ko-fi with streaming tools, social sites and website building software.
Ship every week. You’ll have access to the full code base to improve the product and see your work in the hands of millions of users.
Who we’re looking for
You are self motivated and eager to ship your best work.
You must have a strong development background with at least four years of real-world experience in C# ASP.NET MVC.
You’ve developed clean and maintainable, ideally consumer-facing .NET projects deployed at scale.
You aren’t afraid of the front end. You’re happy to dive into the front end on a regular basis and you already have a thorough demonstrable knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and frontend frameworks.
You’re good at prioritising. You are always looking for ways to make a product better while also taking a considered approach to priorities to ensure the right things get worked on.
You're resourceful. You ‘pull’ the information and guidance you need rather than waiting for it to be ‘pushed’ to you. You seek new and innovative ways of improving the product, the team and the way we do things without waiting to be told what to do or how to do it.
You ship. You have a bias towards action, and you will be eager to deploy your work. You test enough to be confident, but you don’t procrastinate.
Extra Credit. You’re a creator of some kind yourself.
The tech stack
We use new technologies wherever it makes sense, but the core stack is:
C# .NET MVC
SQL Server, Entity Framework
Azure
HTML , JavaScript, CSS
Benefits
Work remotely. Developers are currently located in UK, Belgium and Thailand so you will spend most of your time working remotely. Occasional visits to the Cambridge office can be useful, but not essential. If you want to work from a co-working space, we’ll cover that too.

Competitive compensation. Depending upon demonstrable experience.
Bonuses. Get regular bonuses for significant contributions and when the company does well.
Own a Slice of Ko-fi. Earn share options after 6 months.
Training Budget. We will fund relevant training to help you be better at what you do.
Your Work is Seen by Millions. Do the best, most rewarding work of your life and have it seen by millions.
Choose Your Own Kit. Pick the tools you need to do great work.
Paid Leave. 25 days + National Holidays paid time off.
