At FounderNest, we use AI to improve
the matchmaking process between investors and startups. We are an
early-stage company backed up by top VCs (Venture Capitals) and
investors from the Silicon Valley, and with the main VCs worldwide
already using our beta service.
We are looking to hire a stellar
engineer, so if you are passionate about technical challenges, and you
would love to be part of a dynamic team and have an impact that can
potentially disrupt an industry, you should keep reading! :)
This position is based at our Madrid office.
What we are looking for in you: Passion to create a disruptive product
- You will be a key engineer in our
team! A great power comes with a great responsibility, so along with the
engineering team, you will build both the product and the team itself
from scratch.
- You are thirsty to learn and
experiment in a fast-paced environment; and also to take ownership of
key parts of the product. You are not afraid of becoming the best
version of yourself. :)
- Ideally, you are
an engineer with 2+ years of experience designing, implementing,
maintaining, and extending back-end systems. You can get extra points
with:
- Experience with Node.js, particularly in large projects / production environments.
- Exposure to TypeScript / Flow, and companion libraries (TypeORM, routing-controllers, TypeDI...)
- Strong relational modelling skills and experience with Postgres.
- Experience with ES6 and async / await or promises, in general.
- Understanding the value of a good architecture and the importance of testing.
- Exposure / use of design patterns.
- Being the kind of person that never goes out of the house without Git.
- Some exposure to AI / ML.
- You love sharing your ideas,
recommendations and feedback with the team, and want to be part of key
strategic decisions of the company.
- And more importantly, you really love what you do!
What FounderNest has to offer you: An innovative product with the latest technologies
Personal & professional growth
- You will be owner of a disruptive
and sophisticated product that you can build from scratch; and you will
tackle a wide arrange of technological challenges.
- You will have freedom to choose the tools and technologies you want to use when working outside of our core product.
- You will be a key part of a lean
team that will support your growth in whichever direction you want to,
offering access to learning opportunities within a safe environment
where to experiment, attend internal meetings (tech evenings,
masterclasses by other team members…) and external events (conferences,
meetups).
- You will take part in building a
Silicon Valley startup, with freedom to participate in shaping the
culture of the company. We have budget to organize Happy Hours, a Global
Retreat, our own events, and whatever you have in mind!
Working environment
- You will be part of a team committed to changing an industry while having fun in the process! :)
- We are proud of the built-quality
of our product and try to embrace engineering best practices as much as
possible. We want you to embrace these principles and join us in getting
even better!
- We are building a thriving environment based on cooperation and constructive feedback, and want you to be part of it!
- You will have a secondary screen and budget to buy a MacBook or PC, so that you feel fully comfortable at work.
- You will have a flexible schedule
(with remote work when necessary) since we want you to have the freedom
to organize your time. Of course, we prefer you to spend time with us at
our cozy office in downtown Madrid. ;)
Compensation
- You will have contract with our Spanish subsidiary (i.e. no freelance work).
- We offer a very competitive salary, depending on your experience.
- We want you to have stock options, because we want you to own FounderNest’s success.
