Yes. Kong's roles in the US and Canada are generally remote, while roles in its office cities elsewhere, including London, Paris, Milan, Bengaluru, Singapore and Sydney, are usually hybrid, with 2 to 3 office days a week where the posting states them. Each posting sets its own arrangement, so read the posting text as well as its location tag.
Kong holds a monthly AMA where new hires meet members of the executive leadership team, and new joiners get a shout-out at the Worldwide Kong Update. Kong also runs a channel called Cheers and Celebrate. In Kong's words, "As you grow, informal communication becomes harder, so you have to be much more intentional about keeping people connected and informed."
Kong's careers page publishes no pay bands. Some US job postings include a salary range, so check the individual listing for the role you are considering.
