About Kinlee

Kinlee is a soon-to-be-launched rebranded app tackling one of the U.S. Surgeon General’s declared “most urgent public health crises of our time” - parental loneliness. Already active in 22 countries, Kinlee helps millennial parents find their people, build real-life friendships, and create lasting community.

Our rebrand is being led by our new CMO (formerly at Apple, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and Campbell’s) alongside founder Jen Whyte, who was introduced by Marc Benioff to Dr. Vivek Murthy (U.S. Surgeon General) as “the visionary’s muse - and a visionary herself.”

On the engineering side, you’ll collaborate with senior talent who previously led engineering teams at Deutsche Bank - meaning you’ll gain mentorship not just in mobile dev, but also in enterprise-grade, high-scale engineering practices.

Now we’re looking for a Mobile Engineer Intern who wants to join us at this pivotal relaunch moment.

👉 You’ll collaborate directly with our engineering team and leadership, and your code will shape how parents around the world experience Kinlee 2.0.
