Kiva (kiva.org) is an international nonprofit with a mission to expand
financial access to help underserved communities thrive. We run a global
marketplace platform to crowdfund microloans for financially excluded
entrepreneurs, farmers and students around the world. Through Kiva Capital,
we serve as a bridge between large scale impact first investors and
underserved populations. Our digital identity platform enables borrowers
who don’t have a track record with traditional financial institutions to
record and verify their financial history and gain access to less costly
mainstream financial markets.



*Role Overview*Technology has been the foundational enabler of Kiva’s
mission since our founding. The Kiva.org internet marketplace spans the
globe, and our underlying technology platform facilitates loans and loan
repayments in nearly every country in the world, making it the world’s
largest crowdlending platform for micro-entrepreneurs.

Kiva’s technology stack has been undergoing massive transformation. Within
the past few years, we have migrated to the cloud, launched native mobile
applications, built an open source technology platform for the unbanked and
underbanked population, rewritten our frontend leveraging single-page
application and server-side rendering frameworks, and began refactoring our
monolith into microservices.

The Chief Technology Officer is the chief internal and external evangelist
for Kiva’s technology. The ideal candidate will be a force multiplier and
scale Kiva’s trajectory of growing its impact around the world.

At this time, we can only consider applicants with authorization to work in
the United States on a permanent, full-time basis; unfortunately we cannot
provide visa sponsorship.


*Key Responsibilities Include*

   - Lead and participate in long-term strategic and operational planning
   to achieve business goals and prioritize development initiatives.
   - Oversee engineering, data science, IT departments across all of Kiva’s
   business units (Kiva Marketplace, Kiva Capital, and Kiva Protocol).
   - Instill an engineering culture focused on delivering and maximizing
   our impact in the world through technology-based solutions.
   - Provide the vision for the technology platform, drive the development
   of the technology roadmap, evaluate new and promising technologies, and
   incubate MVP and foundational initiatives that can significantly unlock
   business scale and impact opportunities.
   - Create an environment that promotes engineering excellence by
   attracting and retaining high-performing talent from diverse backgrounds
   and designing effective organizational structure, processes, systems, and
   tools.
   - Work closely with product and other teams to build products and
   features that allow Kiva to achieve its goals
   - Foster a team-first attitude by building strong partnerships,
   collaboration, and alignment across functions and stewarding a culture of
   diversity, inclusiveness, ownership, boldness, and innovation.
   - Champion an experimental and data-driven mindset and promote practices
   that reward risk taking and afford rapid response to market feedback.
   - Represent Kiva's technology strategy and promote Kiva’s technology
   brand to external and internal stakeholders.
   - Establish, define and track metrics and monitor progress to ensure
   that objectives are achieved, particularly in software development and
   technical operations.
