The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  KyKR is hiring a Lead Software Engineer in Taylorsville, UT.

• Role description

  Come own the technology pipeline at KyKR, where the Lead Software Engineer we hire in Taylorsville gets real authority and a real on-call rotation. Sized right for 9 years of TypeScript, this UT role pays $139,000 - $190,000 and opens a path you actually want to walk.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
  • Integrate third-party services and internal tools into the KyKR stack
  • Build internal tooling that improves developer productivity and velocity
  • Document the Rust system so the next lead engineer onboards in days, not weeks
  • Chase down the Active Listening integration that silently drops KyKR events at midnight

  What You'll Bring

  • Comfort with the temporary cadence of a Taylorsville-based operation
  • Curiosity that outpaces your current job description
  • A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email
  • 8 or more years steering technology projects end to end
  • Around 8+ years of hands-on experience in a technology role
  • An UT sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market

  KyKR grew up alongside its customers, scaling from a single Taylorsville room into the technology partner much of UT now trusts. Every voice in the UT office gets airtime, especially the ones still finding their volume.

  Combine $139,000 - $190,000 with growth, generous benefits, and a mentor, and you have the reason people stay at KyKR for years.

  As recently as today, KyKR reopened the doors on this one.
