Location

Dublin preferred. Remote within EU-friendly time zones OK.

Mission

Build and ship a focused portfolio of small, high-signal products. You will be the technical counterpart who scopes, builds, and iterates quickly with real customer feedback.


What We Will Build First:
  • AI readiness and enablement tools for teams seeking productivity without chaos. Lightweight workflow apps, prompt libraries, policy kits, and reporting dashboards.
  • Ecommerce and operations integrations for Irish and EU SMEs. Connectors for Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, and Odoo. Practical automations that save time and make money.
  • Live shopping enablement for TikTok Shop and live streams. Order intake, label generation, and fulfillment handoff.
  • Selective nearshoring plays that pair EU client needs with high quality delivery in cost-efficient markets.
You do not need to be expert in everything. Be strong in a few areas and comfortable learning the rest.


Core Responsibilities
  • Translate opportunities into scoped MVPs with clear must-haves.
  • Choose the stack, stand up repos, CI, and cloud.
  • Ship v1 in weeks and instrument usage from day one.
  • Build clean integrations with common tools. Shopify, GA4, Slack, Google Workspace, Odoo, Meta, TikTok.
  • Apply LLMs when they are the best tool. Retrieval, function calling, evals, prompt safety, and cost control.
  • Partner on customer discovery, pricing tests, and go-to-market.
  • Recruit and manage contractors as we grow.

What Good Looks Like In 90 Days
  • Two tiny but lovable products live with real users.
  • Clear metrics for adoption, retention, and feedback.
  • Reusable scaffolding so the next MVP ships in half the time.
  • At least one paying pilot or a signed LOI.

What You're Good At:
  • Rapid prototyping in JS or TS or Python. Bonus for React or Next.js and Node.
  • Shipping on AWS or GCP or Azure.
  • Data modeling and clean API design.
  • Practical AI. OpenAI or Anthropic, embeddings, vector stores, RAG, evals, guardrails, and cost tracking.
  • Explaining technical tradeoffs to non-technical leaders.

Nice To Have
  • Analytics stacks. PostHog, GA4, Mixpanel.
  • Social or live shopping APIs. TikTok, Meta.
  • Automation tools. Make, n8n, Zapier.
  • Basic data visualization.
  • Comfortable with customer demos and light sales engineering.
How We Work
  • Lightweight weekly sprints. Clear goals, small scope, honest retros.
  • Builder culture. Bias to ship, validate, and keep the stack simple.
  • Transparent economics. Equity, revenue share, milestone-based upside.
How To Apply

Email or DM is fine. Portfolio links beat CVs. Good luck.
