Founding Engineer | £80,000 + Equity | SaaS/Marketplace | TypeScript | React | Node | Remote (UK)


Founding Engineer roles like this don’t come around very often…


Having recently received multiple investments from VCs, this on-demand logistics platform is set to transform the construction industry with an “Uber for construction” model and is looking for their first Founding Engineer to join and help transform business challenges into streamlined technical solutions.


The role offers the chance to be the first engineering hire in a small, effective team, directly influencing the product’s trajectory. You will have significant autonomy, working closely with the founders, designing scalable systems, building engaging applications, and contributing to the development and growth of the tech team.


You will be addressing complex problems using AI and innovative UX design to scale the offering across the UK and beyond.


The ideal person will have expertise in:

  • TypeScript
  • React
  • Node
  • SQL database experience


Having familiarity with testing frameworks and DevOps practices is helpful, though not a primary focus.


Joining a startup comes with inherent risks, but also offers significant potential upside, including equity options and leadership opportunities as the company grows.


The company has ambitious plans, aiming for a £100 million exit within 4-5 years. Discussions have already started, and the current valuation sits around £4–5 million, with projections for substantial growth. You will receive between 0.5% - 1% equity.


The interview process is as follows:

  1. Intro Call: 30 mins
  2. Technical Interview: A paired programming and system design interview
  3. Final Interview: A cultural fit assessment and a final discussion with the founder
