Roos was founded in 2014 in Amsterdam. Roos combines years of

Who are we?
- Currently we are with two founders (business, marketing and
product) and together we have over 12 years of experience in the
business. Telecom, energy, and previously founder and CEO of one of the
top 3 comparison sites, you name it, we did it.
- The first steps with Roos have been made, we have a basic service
to create a contract overview and are responsive so you can use it on
mobile, tablet and desktop. With this we learn from our first users and
grow from here.
- We have an extensive network. A network that helps us creating a
better product (energy, telecom, insurance), a network of business
partners to help us create reach and the necessary connections for next
step investments.
We’re looking for a co-founder to complement our team. Somebody with
energy, passion and ambition to introduce this kind of service first to
the Dutch market.
Who are you?
- We can’t wait to make steps on our MVP. For the upcoming period you
are enthusiastic to start Roos next to your fixed or freelance job and
grow it further so we can start working on it fulltime.
- You’re a full stack developer with several years of experience,
up-to-date with all new frameworks, services, hosting and ideas. Also
setting up a smart and efficient architecture, continuous integration
and testing are part of your toolkit.
- Our current development stack is built on Ruby and we prefer to continue development on this.
- Besides your development mindset, you have an understanding of
economics and financials of a business, as a nice to have you have
experience in investor relations.

What can we offer you?

to grow to a bigger team and take part of all decisions as an
entrepreneur
- The reward will be in the beginning equity, with a strong drive to connect as soon as possible with partners or investors.
- A lot of freedom in your work. Together we decide the route Roos
will follow, but you decide how we get there regarding development.
- Moreover, the freedom to decide how and when to work. However,
open communication regarding this is key, but a message on Slack can be
sufficient.

entrepreneurs, great coffee and a beautiful garden.
