Founding Engineer (Full-Stack / AI-Assisted Systems)
Description
We’re building a new kind of visual, interactive tool — not a traditional web app, but a structured visual system where UI, logic, real-time sync, and intelligent automation meet.
This is an early-stage project where you’ll build the product’s core from the ground up and shape the architecture, technical approach, and long-term direction.
We’re looking for a founding team member — not a freelancer, not a task executor.
Role Overview
The role adapts to your strengths. We’re looking for one of these profiles:
**A) Full-Stack Engineer
if you move comfortably across front & back**
Building interactive visual UI components
Node logic, connections, drag/drop elements
Real-time synchronization (WebSocket or similar)
API + data model design
Basic automation or AI integrations
**B) Frontend-Heavy Engineer
if your strength is UI + visual logic**
Implementing UI and visual components
Responsive, scalable visual elements
Zooming, drag/drop, layouts, comments
Performance optimization
**C) Backend-Heavy Engineer
if you think in systems & architecture**
Deg & implementing server-side logic
Data models, API endpoints
Real-time data handling
Ensuring scalability and reliability
D) (Bonus) AI/LLM Integrations
- Experience with AI interfaces or reasoning models is a benefit
- Not required, but welcomed
Requirements
- Strong experience building modern web applications
- Ability to design and implement complex systems independently
- Clear, open communication
- A desire to build from scratch — not just maintain existing code
- Curiosity, ownership, and willingness to shape direction
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with interactive tools or canvas-based editors
- Experience with real-time solutions (WebSocket / WebRTC / CRDT, etc.)
- Background in diagramming, modeling, or workflow tools
- Interest in automation or AI
- Startup mindset, personal projects, or founder energy
Compensation
This is not a traditional salaried position. It is a founding role in an early-stage build.
Compensation consists of:
- Equity or vesting-based arrangements (negotiated individually)
- Project-based compensation once the product generates revenue
- Potential to grow into Lead / Architect / CTO roles depending on alignment and contribution
This is ideal for someone who wants to build, not just “do a job.”
What We Offer
- The chance to build something new from zero → the first code, first architecture
- Influence over roadmap and technical decisions
- A small, fast-moving, trust-based work culture
- Freedom and responsibility in equal measure
- A human-focused, ambitious, transparent environment
If you want to help create something that doesn’t exist yet, reach out.
Location
We prefer candidates who can collaborate from:
- Helsinki
- Vantaa
- Espoo
…but remote work is possible if communication is strong and alignment stays clear.
