Database & Infrastructure Engineer (Full Stack)
About KledKled is building the largest opt-in human data network in the world.
We are not a labeling firm. We are not a task marketplace.
We are a consumer application where people upload their real photos, videos, and documents and get paid continuously.
We then filter, standardize, and license that data to frontier AI labs and enterprises that need fresh, rights-aware training data.
Since launching our mobile app in 2026, we have:
Reached #1 on the App Store (Finance) with 0 paid marketing
Scaled to 600,000+ active data contributors
Processed 5M uploads per day
Raised $15M+ from investors behind SpaceX, Airbnb, Coinbase, xAI, OpenAI, Anthropic, Spotify, Lyft, Uber, and more
Our mission is to let anyone download the app and earn a real living wage from uploading their data.
