The opportunity

How taxation, accounting and payroll work today is a pain for everyone. Still every business must do it continuously. It is the backbone that our economy runs on.

Enabled through AI, we are turning this often-painful process into a radically simple experience for our customers, so they can focus on what matters to them: growing their business.

About us

We are a team of experienced entrepreneurs who have scaled businesses to 10s of millions of users, 10s of millions in revenue, multiple countries, and 9-digit exits - and we are just getting started. We are backed with € 3 million in equity, even though we haven’t actively raised funding yet – yes, investors are chasing us.

Tasks

The role

As a Co-Founder & Head of Engineering, you’ll build Tribex from the ground up together with the rest of the founding team.

• Work directly with the other founders and customers to convert feedback into a roadmap

• Prefer boring tech where it matters; innovate where it differentiates.
• You’ll define it; maybe: Python , TypeScript/Node , Postgres , Redis/Queue , Docker/K8s , AWS , vue/ react/ ...

The process (fast, meaningful, no homework)

1. Fill in a short form then jump on an intro call with a founder or recruiter
2. Get to know another founder, virtually or in person (up to you)
3. Meet our whole founding team during a final interview (in-person, ~3h, incl. live coding)
