We launched the first version of our platform in 2019 and have since grown to over 1.5M users by solving a highly technical problem and saving our users countless hours of work (see what our customers say ). All of this with a small team of super intelligent and dedicated individuals Our values & work environment As a startup we value efficiency above all else. Our team structure is flat and focused where every individual has a critical role that directly impacts our users. You will not find any middle managers or pointless meetings here. Our environment is best suited for people that are hands-on, like to take ownership and most importantly - are self-learners. Our team is based in Europe so we try to work in the UK timezone but are flexible on the work timings. Everyone is expected to work 40 hours and no more. We highly value people that can prioritise their work, know what tools to use to work efficiently and can set up processes to amplify the impact of their time. What to expect in your first month This is the most decisive part of your tenure at Koinly. You will be assessed on your technical skills and how quickly you are able to become operational. A good benchmark is to try Koinly out yourself, if you have a hard time understanding what it does then things will not get any easier. After all, we expect our users to be able to do their taxes with Koinly in under 20 minutes. An interest in crypto (beyond just bitcoin) is a major advantage.
