We just raised funds from one of Scandinavia's largest consulting groups, Aura - a €100M+ revenue powerhouse whose clients include Porsche, Samsung, and Adidas. This strategic partnership positions us to grow quickly in a relatively untapped market. Now we’re looking for a talented developer to join our team and help propel our success!
🧠 Our Philosophy & Story
We're not your typical tech startup. Our technical co-founder learned to code using GPT as a pair programmer in 2022, and is now building full-stack applications for businesses worldwide. This unconventional journey means we deeply understand what it's like to learn and grow in tech, and we're excited to support others on similar journeys.
We believe great software comes from creative problem-solving and innovative approaches, not just following traditional playbooks. We've proven that with the right tools, mindset, and determination, anything is possible in tech.
What does this mean for you? We're looking for a builder - someone eager to learn, experiment, and grow. You don't need traditional credentials or years of bootcamps; you need creativity, determination, and a willingness to find solutions independently.
Our approach to quality is uncompromising, but our path to getting there is flexible. We believe in:
- 🛠️ Using every tool at our disposal (including AI) to learn and build better
- 🎯 Focusing on outcomes rather than following rigid processes
- 🔄 Learning through doing and real-world feedback
- 🎨 Finding creative solutions to challenges
- 🤝 Growing together as a team
