Do your best work at Kong

Together, we’re building the tools that power our connected, digital lives.

See Open Positions

We’re a group of makers, thinkers, and doers focused on helping today’s developers build tomorrow’s technology.

We put customers at the heart of everything we do. 

That’s why everyone from e-commerce startups to the world’s leading biotech companies trust Kong to run mission-critical applications.

We embody open source and everything it stands for. 

We foster a culture of individualism — encouraging our people to bring new ideas and innovations, regardless of level and function.

Benefits and Perks

Want to be a Konger?

One fateful day in Milan, Italy, Aghi and Marco became friends and dreamed up an idea for a business. Much has changed since that tiny garage filled with big dreams, but we’re still dedicated to building a company grounded in strong principles and committed to the idea that diversity makes us stronger.

Today, we continue to work to create a positive, inclusive, 
and high-performance workplace. We’ve developed a thriving remote culture and become a truly global company — with 600+ employees in 25+ countries. And we’re still growing. Here’s a peek at what you can expect from a career at Kong.

Flexible time off

Take time to take care of yourself and the things that matter most. Hello, work-life balance! 

Stock options

We want you to share in our success. That’s why stock options are offered to most Kongers.

U-First Fridays

Get 4 hours a month for continuous learning with a book, podcast, or course of your choice.

Virtual events

Stay connected with Donut chats, trivia, fitness challenges, guided meditations, and more.

Dedicated unplug days

Silence those notifications. Enjoy some well-deserved long weekends where the entire team unplugs.

Home office stipend

Build a home office environment tailored to support your productivity. We’ll help foot the bill.

Our values

How we do it

We’re passionate about solving the challenges that will fundamentally shape the future of tech. If you believe in taking ownership of your work, making an impact, and having fun along the way, come join us!


We are CUSTOMER CHAMPIONS.

Customers are everything, we put them at the center of everything we do. We are all empowered to make an impact.


We are OWNERS.

We are drivers, not passengers and own the quality and outcomes of our work.


We are UNSTOPPABLE.

We work with purpose, obsession, and grit. It takes muscle to do hard things and doing hard things builds muscle.


We are REAL.

We are genuine, principled, and confident without arrogance. Show respect and kindness, especially in tough moments.


We Are ACCELERATORS.

We prioritize speed, iteration, and results.


We are GLOBAL.

We work together from anywhere to achieve our common goals. Our differences make us stronger.


We are EXPLORERS.

We value ideas over hierarchy. Never accept the status quo. We make bold bets, fail, and learn everyday. There is always a way.
