Why now

Six months of groundwork is done - research, interviews, prototypes, early signups, and an MVP that’s around halfway built. You won’t start from zero. You’ll complete and ship v1 along with your two co-founders, and set the pace for everything that follows.


Role at a glance

An S-class AI/full-stack engineer who will take the lead in developing the marketplace, and code 70–90% of the time for the first 12–18 months. You’ll own web/mobile, data/AI, and core infra. Title and scope can grow into CTO as we scale.


Role description

  • Ship v1 (web + mobile), then iterate weekly to product-market fit.
  • Build the data/AI backbone.
  • Set up solid architecture, cloud, testing, and CI/CD without overbuilding to keep us simple and shipping fast.
  • Make clear, simple tech choices, and own our tech-vision.
  • Later, hire and mentor a tiny A-team.


Qualifications

  • Data Science/AI expertise.
  • Experience with mobile/web-app development.
  • Relevant working experience, preferably having founded or led at an early-stage startup and shipped software from 0 to 1.
  • Generally highly skilled and efficient, and enjoy owning outcomes. Also kind, ambitious, and in for the long game (5+ years).
  • Preferably Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field.


What you'll get

Real ownership: equal or near-equal equity (4-year vesting, 1-year cliff). No salary until funding/revenue. A meaningful problem, a clear path to launch, and a founder who’s all-in (CS BSc+MSc, UC Berkeley alum, ex-marketplace co-founder).


Where/when

Oslo preferred. Preferably full-time start within 1–2 months.
