Kindred is a members-only home swapping network that unlocks the ability to live a travel-rich lifestyle through the power of community. By exchanging primary residences with trusted peers, renters and owners alike can match with Kindred spirits and explore new destinations without breaking the bank.
We are on a mission to build a sharing economy that lives up to the name, and we’ve raised $26.5M+ from some of the best investors in Silicon Valley to do so, including Andreessen Horowitz, New Enterprise Associates, Bessemer Venture Partners, Caffeinated Capital, Elad Gil, and the founders of Opendoor, Figma, ClassPass, Clubhouse, Divvy, Gem, and Homebound.
The co-founders are proven leaders from the early team at proptech company Opendoor ($15B+ exit), and have each separately built and scaled products that today do $1B+ annual revenue combined.
We’re looking for the world’s top builders, executors, and believers to join us on this ride.

  • Closely monitor core metrics and customer feedback to identify problems with Kindred’s member experience, and work closely with the Head of Operations to scope and execute on initiatives to address the root causes and align your strategies to Kindred’s north star
  • Build robust processes/guidance both externally facing for Kindred members as well as internally facing to the Member Experience Team to ensure a fantastic customer experience and to preserve trust & safety.
