We are not hiring someone to complete tickets.
 

We are looking for a founding engineer who wants to help build the future of autonomous commerce.

Our startup is growing fast, and we already have real clients using and testing the product. That is why we are looking for a strong Python Developer with practical experience in AI solutions who wants to join us at an early stage and become part of building a real technology company.

We are not looking for someone who just needs “another job.”
We want to find a person who wants to become part of the team, grow together with the startup, and have a real impact on the product.

After 6 months of successful cooperation, we are ready to offer equity in the company.

Responsibilities

• Develop the backend part of the product using Python
• Integrate AI solutions into the product, including Claude
• Integrate and work with Google OR-Tools
• Participate in product architecture decisions
• Work with data: processing, analysis, and business logic development
• Help build scalable technical solutions from the early stage

What We Offer

• Full remote work
• Flexible schedule
• Opportunity to join an active startup at an early stage
• Real influence on product architecture and technical decisions
• Small team without unnecessary bureaucracy
• Direct impact on the future of the company
• Opportunity to receive company equity

Important

We are looking not just for a developer, but for an engineer who has already worked with AI in practice.

Please include examples of real projects, AI integrations, full-stack or backend only products, or case studies when applying.

We are looking for a Software Architect / Technical Architect to join our startup on a part-time basis.

We already have a working MVP version of the product. It has helped us validate the main idea, test the core business logic, and better understand what needs to be improved before moving to the next stage.

Right now, we are building a development team to modernize the current product, improve the existing MVP, and develop new modules. At this stage, we need an experienced technical person who can look at the project from a higher level, understand where we are now, and help us design the right architecture for the future.
 

The current tech stack includes:

• Backend: Laravel / MySQL
• A separate Python service for complex calculations and optimization logic
• Frontend: Vue / Nuxt
• Additional modules and services are planned for the next development stages
   

What we need help with

At the first stage, we need you to:

• study the current MVP version of the product;
• understand the business logic, existing architecture, and current limitations;
• review our long-term product plans;
• analyze the weak points of the current technical solution;
• suggest the best architecture for the next stage of development;
• help us decide what should be kept, what should be improved, and what should be rebuilt.

After that, we would like you to continue working with us part-time and help the team with:

• architecture supervision;
• technical consultations for the development team;
• reviewing important technical decisions;
• helping with the design of new modules;
• making sure the team follows the chosen architecture;
• preventing the project from becoming chaotic as it grows.

This is not a role where you will need to write code every day. We are looking for someone who can understand the whole system, see potential risks, suggest practical technical solutions, and guide the development team in the right direction.

What is important for us

• experience in designing architecture for web products;
• strong understanding of backend architecture;
• experience with Laravel / PHP, or the ability to quickly understand the current implementation;
• experience with Python services or microservice architecture would be a big plus;
• understanding of frontend-backend interaction and API design;
• experience with projects that have moved from MVP stage to a more stable production-ready version;
• ability to find a balance between good architecture and realistic development timelines;
• ability to explain technical decisions clearly to the team.

Work format

This is a part-time position.

At the beginning, we expect deeper involvement: you will need to study the current system, join several calls, understand the product goals, and prepare an architecture plan.

After that, the format can be more flexible: regular consultations, participation in technical discussions, review of key decisions, and support for the development team when needed.

About the project

We are building a product related to automation of complex processes, data-based decision making, and optimization. The MVP is already working, and now we are starting the next stage: full product development, functionality expansion, and preparation of the system for stable long-term use.

We are not looking for a one-time consultant for a single call. We are looking for a person who can properly understand the project, see its potential, and help us build the right technical foundation for future growth.
 

Nice to have

• experience working with startups;
• experience moving products from MVP to production-ready stage;
• experience with Python, optimization tools, AI or LLM integrations;
• experience designing modular architecture;
• experience working with distributed teams;
• ability to keep things simple where possible and avoid unnecessary overengineering.

What we offer

• flexible part-time cooperation;
• opportunity to influence the product architecture at an early stage;
• work with an existing MVP, not just an idea on paper;
• direct communication with the founders;
• a long-term opportunity to stay involved as a technical architect / advisor.

Our startup is actively growing, and we are now looking for a strong Fullstack Developer with solid experience in Laravel on the backend and Vue/Nuxt on the frontend.

We are looking for a person who wants to join the project at an early stage, take ownership of important product parts, and grow together with the company.

You will work on a real B2B product in the logistics / supply chain domain, where technology, automation, AI, and complex business logic are deeply connected.
 

After 6 months of successful cooperation, we are ready to discuss company equity.
 

Responsibilities

• Develop and improve backend functionality using Laravel
• Build and maintain frontend interfaces using Vue / Nuxt
• Work with MySQL and product data structures
• Develop APIs and integrations between different parts of the system
• Participate in technical and architectural decisions
• Help improve the existing MVP and build a stable new version of the product
• Work closely with the founder, backend/AI developer, and product team
• Take responsibility for features from idea to production
   

What We Offer

• Full remote work
• Flexible schedule
• Opportunity to join an active startup at an early stage
• Real influence on product architecture and technical decisions
• Small team without unnecessary bureaucracy
• Direct impact on the product and future of the company
• Opportunity to receive company equity
• Work on a product with real clients, real business value, and international potential

Important

We are looking not only for a developer who can complete tasks, but for an engineer who can think about the product, architecture, scalability, and long-term technical decisions.

Experience with AI tools, automation, complex business logic, or logistics / supply chain products will be a big plus.

Please include examples of real projects, fullstack products, Laravel/Vue/Nuxt experience, or case studies when applying.
