    Description

    Company Overview

    Kindred is a rapidly growing, venture backed start-up focused on unlocking the conversion of gasoline vehicles to electric using our technology and scale.

    We are marketing folks, technicians, software developers, mechanical engineers, designers, painters, and car lovers. We love a whiff of gasoline and we geek out about the torque provided by electric motors. Above all we believe the world is a better place with vintage cars out on the road.

    We strive to create a meaningful workplace at Kindred, which means something different for each of our team members. For some, it's getting these immortal vehicles on the road. For others it's the portion of revenue we donate to our local community for every vehicle sold. For many at Kindred, it's the inclusive work environment we've created.

    Our cars create joyful experiences for our customers and immense pride for our team. If you can match our passion, values, and work ethic, we want you
