About Kake

Kake describes itself as a remote-first community of experienced software engineers that helps client teams add individual engineers or full engineering groups. Its model combines technical vetting and human selection with AI-supported processes; Kake engineers work as dedicated members of client teams rather than as a separate outsourced delivery queue.

The company recruits across frontend, backend, mobile, quality engineering, data and DevOps. Its public hiring pages emphasize end-to-end ownership, collaboration with product and design, and engineering judgment. The exact client, product, team structure and employment terms can vary by opening, so candidates should verify those specifics in the individual listing.
