Application process
- We ask you to send us “something interesting” via the standard application form. Here are some guidelines on what we think is interesting:
- Please explain why you would like to join us, a resume without any explanation is rarely interesting. This is sometimes called a cover letter but just think about it as if you would send an e-mail and explain why you think we should talk. A dozen of lines are sufficient
- An up-to-date LinkedIn/equivalent profile or resume is needed. We need it to have a quick overview of what you’ve done
- Open source projects you’ve worked on
- What we need to understand is how what you've worked on is relevant to what we’re building here at Koyeb. We don’t pay extensive attention to a standardized format and what the theory says but keep in mind that good written communication skills are crucial to working at Koyeb
- If we believe we could work together, Richa, our people & talent manager, will reach out to schedule a first 45 minutes call to make sure this could be a match
- Start Date: 15 March 2025

As Koyeb sets its sights on simultaneous deployment in ten core locations worldwide, its potential for growth and expanded reach increase exponentially.
