About Kita
In emerging markets, credit infrastructure is broken. Credit bureaus are unreliable, open finance is limited, and most financial data lives in messy documents. As a result, millions of individuals and businesses are locked out of credit because lenders can’t properly assess them.
Kita is building the infrastructure to fix this. We turn messy financial documents into structured, fraud-checked signals that lenders use to make underwriting decisions. We work with customers ranging from fintechs to enterprise banks, and build closely with them on the ground — during the YC batch, we spent time in Manila, Singapore, Jakarta, and Mexico City.
We’re a Stanford AI team backed by Y Combinator, top funds, and leading angels across Silicon Valley and Southeast Asia. During the YC batch, we grew ~40% week-over-week with customers across three continents. Our CTO was ranked #1 in Stanford CS in 2025.
The role
This is a high-ownership, generalist role. You’ll work directly with the founders on what’s most critical to moving the business forward, whether that’s closing deals, onboarding customers, or building internal systems.
You’ll have a front-row seat to how an early-stage company scales, and you’ll be expected to take projects end-to-end, from identifying the problem to getting something working in the real world.
What you’ll do
- Designing and optimizing operational workflows
- Deploying AI-powered automation pipelines
- Building and maintaining internal technical systems
- Conducting quantitative market and data analysis
- Supporting technical onboarding and pilot systems
You might be a good fit if you
- Have high agency and a strong bias toward action
- Are comfortable operating in ambiguity and figuring things out quickly
- Can own projects end-to-end without a lot of structure
- Think clearly and use data to make decisions
- Communicate well and can work across different functions
- Are interested in startups, fintech, or emerging markets
Why this role
- Work directly with founders on core company decisions
- Real ownership across sales, operations, and strategy
- Opportunity to travel to meet customers in the Philippines, Mexico, and other markets
- Exposure to how global fintech companies are built from the ground up
