We are working with a start-up who are looking for a Founding Engineer. They currently have 3 people working for them – the Founder, a Project Manager and a mid-level Software Engineer. Their product is in the social sciences space and helps corporations such as the World Bank and UNICEF target specific demographics to participate in online surveys. Using similar technologies to companies in the AdTech space, this organisation are heavily focused on using social media as a means to recruit people. They are entirely self profitable and NGO funded, relying on no VC investment. Last year they counted half a million customers and the product has stood alone for the last 12 months, needing no attention and experiencing 0 downtime.
Going forward, they need to leverage how they target people who don’t spend their lives online and fall into a different demographic whilst also figuring out how to scale their product. As a Founding Engineer, you will be responsible for owning the entire product and be motivated enough to make things happen. The focus will be Backend although Frontend and DevOps capabilities are a massive plus. Being one of two Engineers, you will help mentor and coach the team whilst also hiring a team around you that will total a headcount of 6. Their Backend services are currently written in Golang, Python and Javascript.
