What We Do

Hyke is the first online back-office platform for the nearly 20 million solopreneurs working in the United States. We handle company formation, taxes, and bookkeeping. With our software and automation approach, we enable our members to increase their net income by $15K annually, on average. Our annual service cost is $2400, so we not only give our members peace of mind, but also make them money while doing it. We plan to continue to automate and improve our existing service, as well as add more ‘1-click services’ for our members, including benefits, 401k, banking, and more.

WHY JOIN

Reason 1

Hyke is founded by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. One of our founders sold a marketing automation platform with 15M customers to Oracle. Another founder has built 5 startups, and the other built a successful food-tech company that now employs over 150 people. We are passionate about helping the builders that need the most help: solopreneurs (designers, developers, marketers, and more) who are the backbone of the American economy.

Reason 2

Hyke has a massive opportunity to disrupt the future of work for one of the largest sectors of the working population. There are 15-20M full-time solopreneurs in the US, and an estimated 285MM more worldwide. The self-employed market is expected to grow tremendously over the coming years. In the US alone, the self-employed population is estimated to be 51% of the workforce by 2027. This represents a total addressable market of $95B+ that we can serve with an elegant, technology-driven solution.

Reason 3

By joining Hyke you will get in at the ground floor, building an iconic platform that can deliver peace of mind to millions of entrepreneurs. We have been well-financed by the best investors in fintech, have strong product-market fit, and are building out our team to scale. As a founding engineer at Hyke, you will work directly with our CTO and CPO to define architecture, roadmap, and product direction. We’re looking for people to build features, and to help us define the future of work for what will become the largest segment of the economy in the coming years.

What are some interesting technical challenges we deal with?

Project 1

We’re working on a large, complex, and multifaceted platform. This process line includes several steps, such as: LLC formation, post-formation setup, Federal Tax ID retrieval, business bank account connection, contribution, bookkeeping/payroll tools setup, tax team setup, and year-around accounting/compliance maintenance.

Our main aim as the engineering team is to enable accurate and complete process management to our clients and team. Therefore, you will have a chance to design and implement a unique software architecture, including data management backbone , API architecture, clients and system status functionality managed by scheduled jobs and communication management with all parties.

Needless to say, the integration and management of various third-party tools (esign, banking, payment, file management, content management) is also on our plate.

You will be amazed by our system architecture, and how large and efficient we can make it together.

Project 2

We are working on some automation that will ease the life of our clients and ops team members.

Some interesting examples include:

• Hustling a third party web form and trying to convert it an API so we can automatically submit some forms without the need for human interaction
• Automating some tax payments, so there’s less hustle and bustle
• Automating certain processes by parsing some emails that are sent by our partners or clients
• Automating our own File Management System on Dropbox
• Automating our own instant messaging platform---who knows, maybe our dashboard for our clients can be that platform

Project 3

ML/AI projects: This is our dream spot that we would like to arrive at with our engineering team. We have so much data that we can play with and use in order to provide better services to our clients and the team.

Some ideas include:

• Automating their bookkeeping, as we will learn their patterns and shape our product with that input
• Proposing some tax advice --- on time without human effort
• Preparing our clients’ quarterly estimates and tax returns automatically
• Proposing financial and advice about benefits in a smart, automated way
