Lisboa, Portugal

Apply

You will have the opportunity to become part of the next Facebook, actually better than Facebook and Twitter combined!!! It's going to be LEGEND... Bla bla bla...

 

No.

Not really that kind of stuff at all. We actually don't know where this is going (since we can't predict the future). But we are tired of being told by some experienced people that our service should really exist and that it would be extremely useful. So, we really think and believe we have the opportunity, the timing, the proposition and the market right and that now is the time to make it happen.

 

We are a small startup with well grounded research and methodology launching into the market a product that has great potential to gain traction and compete with reference companies such as TaskRabbit and the like.

 

We are now looking for a Technical Co-Founder who loves mobile. It should be someone that has the hands-on skill to develop a prototype for a MVP (Minimum Viable Product) as well as the vision to design a sustainable technical structure for the future of our product and company.

 

The Profile.

As usual, you should have practical knowledge of a decent web stack (open source, please) and the ability to engineer and design a robust back-end solution that will fuel our product. On top of that you should have experience in building and developing mobile applications either in the native language of the platform (iOS / Android) or using some framework such as Appcelerator Titanium or PhoneGap. We will ask you for examples of apps that you have made so we can see what you've been up to.

 

And most important of all, we need you to be good and really have passion for tinkering with technology, details, great user experiences and digital products.

 

The Gig.

In case there was any doubt, we are really serious in this and we need a co-founder. You will get 25% of founder equity and you'll be the missing and fundamental fourth element of our team. Each partner initial investment will also be equal and you should contribute for the initial investment with your time, money, dedication and passion.

We will be working almost full-time on Whistle for the next 3 to 4 months.

 

The perks include:

  • a good place to work at, in an exhilarating environment of startups, 
  • legal / fiscal / managing support from the best experts, 
  • a methodology for building the product that minimizes risk and is revenue oriented,
  • mentorship with awesome people that already made it happen, 
  • access to top investors, 
  • and a great time overall for someone with the right spirit.
