We are looking forward to meeting you!
Tech Lead – Head developer
You will have the head responsibility of coding and leading the platform development, incl. leading our developers. With us you get a rare opportunity to put your technical fingerprint on something at an early stage.
What we offer
We are pre-funding. Though it is highly likely we receive soft funding in the upcoming months, that will not be used for salaries. We offer: • Equity – you become part owner of what you build. o Amount will depend on your previous experience and hours a week you can work. o As equity involves a long-term collaboration, we will have a one-month trial period before we agree on the final ownership stake. • Real influence: You are part of shaping the product, the technology, and the team from the start. • Leadership experience early in your career - you lead our developers as the team grows.
What you will be building
We already have a framework, tech stack and are in the process of building an MVP. You will be building • The backend for a scalable social media platform. • Recommendation algorithms that prioritize relevance and quality over engagement. • Crawling algorithms for content selection and filtering. • User control, privacy as default, and data security. • Frontend (knowledge of frontend is a plus, but backend is the core).
Technical competencies needed
• Strong python skills. We are building the backend using FastAPI, which you need to be comfortable with, or curious to learn. • Comfortable with, or curious to learn, Flutter. • Interested in enhancing skills in and experimenting with crawling and scraping, recommendation algorithms, and moderation algorithms. • Experience with SQL, more specifically PostgreSQL.
What we’re looking for
• Interest in ethical technology and a desire to build something that actually makes a difference. • Independent and proactive: you drive the project forward; you don’t just complete tasks. • Other than coding you will: o Identify potential technical work that is relevant for the team and create and delegate tasks o Guide the team’s technical direction by working with our technical architect (CTO) and other developers o In collaboration with CTO, focus on the team’s productivity and review code o Advise on the technical direction • Location: At this stage we mainly do online work, but we prefer that you are in either Oslo, Copenhagen or Trondheim. o We already have offices in Copenhagen through Copenhagen School of Entrepreneurship (CSE). We can pursue office space in Trondheim. • We are looking for someone who can work on average a minimum of 12 hours a week. That means you can, for example, work 6 hours one week and 18 hours another week. Outside our team meetings you are free to choose when and where you work. • Start: As soon as possible.
Software Developer – Intern
You will have responsibility for designing, coding, testing and debugging software in collaboration with our developers.
What we offer
• Real influence: You are part of shaping the product, the technology, and the team. • Building your Git portfolio and gaining recommendations from our CEO and CTO. • Responsibility early in your career. • Freedom: You choose where and when you work, except bi-weekly team meetings. It’s also up to you how many hours you want to work a week – this will be agreed upon when signing your contract. Lastly, when you are an intern we are especially mindful around exam periods so do not worry about this.

· You are at least in your second semester of your law degree and have an interest in GDPR and EU regulations. · You are a team player and not afraid to ask for help. · As the social media sector is complex, we do not expect you to know all the answers, so we need you to be curious and keen to learn new things. · Location: You are in the EU or Norway.
