Founding Engineer - Typescript Full-stack
A rare opportunity to join the ride of a lifetime, and be an integral part of shaping a startup's technology from the very beginning
About Normain
Founded in 2023, Normain is an AI platform for knowledge work. Our product lets highly paid, highly skilled employees scale their expertise with AI.
We’re on a mission to fundamentally transform knowledge work away from repetitive, boring tasks that are often part of the work domain experts do. Instead, we envision a world where AI lets humans be more human, and domain experts can spread their expertise and knowledge in ways that actually have a great impact for the better: by listening to- and building empathy with their clients—while AI takes care of the rest.
With some of Stockholm’s best tech advisors and business angels onboard as our extended team, we’re ready to kickstart Normain’s next chapter.
About the Role
We’re a diverse and passionate team of three co-founders looking for a Founding Engineer that will join Normain at the earliest part of our journey. We bring expertise from Boston Consulting Group, Stanford, and other Nordic startups to build something truly great. In this role, you will get the opportunity to shape Normain’s technology at its core. This is a rare opportunity to join the ride of a lifetime, and be an integral part of it from the very beginning. No startup journey is ever easy, but we believe the opportunity of AI excites you, and that you don’t mind putting in the hard work if you get to do it with people you enjoy working with—on a mission you believe in.
In this role, you will work closely with the whole team, but especially with our technical Co-founder Kalle Hansson. Kalle has almost 20 years of experience from full-stack development, and spent most of his time before Normain as CTO & Co-founder at other tech startups. Together with Kalle and the other Engineers, you will form our core Engineering team. You will all work broadly with implementing features required to deliver on Normain’s short-and long-term roadmap.
It’s paramount that the platform we build is performant from an AI perspective, and is easy to use for non-technical stakeholders. It requires us to translate technological concepts like RAG, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning into UX concepts that can be easily understood and used by our customers. We believe you either have some thoughts on how to best solve these challenges, or are eager to learn.
