Founding Engineer (Full-Stack / AI-Assisted Systems)

Project-Based

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.
