About koppla
At koppla, we're aΒ fun and ambitious team on a mission to help the construction industry build more efficiently. We're already partnering with top construction companies and delivering impressive results for our customers (multi-months speed-ups discovered through koppla).
Our ambitions areΒ backed by leading VCs (Earlybird, Newion)Β and industry angels as we tackle a billion-dollar opportunity problem in an underdigitized and underserved market.
Our culture is core to who we are and we've built one we're genuinely proud of. We are not looking for hypergrowth - we believe in hiring slowly to create an environment of few but very high-performing team members that build a truly great product (similar to Netflix, Ashby orΒ Linear).
What you'll be doing
- Collaborate closely with product managers, designers and engineers to design and implement new features in a truly cross-functional process.
- Build and maintain user-facing parts (in Vue) as well as backend services and APIsΒ
- Contribute to the overall architecture of the entire system
- Collaborate with and learn from senior engineers to implement best practices for software development, infrastructure, and deployment processes. Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to peers while learning from more experienced engineers.
- Frontend: Typescript, Vue 3, Tailwind, Netlify, GH ActionsΒ
- Backend: Typescript, AWS, NestJS, Prisma, PostgreSQL, REST, Websockets, Terraform, GH Actions
Who we're looking for
This role is perfect for a Frontend/Full StackΒ Engineer with 2-5 years of experience looking to grow their skills and make a meaningful impact at a company that is approaching product-market fit (> β¬2.5M ARR). You are likely a great fit if:
- You believe in quality and want to build the best possible experience for our end users - because you care about them.
- You have solid engineering fundamentals, write clean and efficient code, and are eager to continue elevating your skills.
- You are focussed on FE, but flexible to switch to BE depending on the task - it could be 50/50 at times but also 80/20 if needed. In the long run you want to become full stack
- You understand how to balance technical trade-offs and can contribute to discussions about scalability, performance, and maintainability.
- You thrive in a fast-paced startup environment, enjoy taking ownership of your tasks, and stay proactive and pragmatic in solving challenges.
Beyond the role-specific requirements, you also see your own values reflected in our Culture Playbook.
What we offer
- A company of co-owners through tax-optimized equity grants.
- A culture with a focus on transparency, respect, ownership, collaboration and the well-being of each team member on this exciting journey.
- An environment that values hard-work while still allowing work-life/family integration through 28 days PTO, flexible working hours, workation and a hybrid setup.
- Dog-friendly
