Job Level

Tech Stack

About the role

  • Own the full technical stack: firmware, cloud backend, iOS app
  • Take over and improve existing embedded firmware
  • Architect and build cloud infrastructure from scratch
  • Create an iOS app designed for users with limited literacy
  • Work with our hardware manufacturing partner on iterations
  • Leverage AI as your core development partner
  • Ship V1 to market, then continuously improve

Requirements

  • Strong software engineering foundation (any language/stack— AI bridges gaps)
  • iOS/mobile development experience (our UX vision lives here)
  • Some exposure to hardware or embedded systems (even hobbyist level)
  • Product sense—you know what "simple" really means
  • Some exposure to product or interaction design (e.g. designing flows in Figma, collaborating closely with designers, or caring deeply about layout and visual hierarchy)
  • Startup mentality: resourceful, autonomous, ships fast
Benefits
  • Meaningful ownership from day one (founding-team level equity, with room to grow into CTO-level upside as we scale)
  • Competitive salary adjusted to stage and your situation (we’re flexible: more equity/less cash or vice versa)
  • Full technical ownership of the product and stack, with a clear path to build and lead the engineering team
  • Remote-friendly setup with founders in Europe (Amsterdam & Munich) and operations in Paraguay; regular trips to the field to see your work in action
