Engineering Leader / CTO-level Product Engineer

Описание вакансии

\* You have made architecture decisions with long-term consequences and have experience working with messy real-world product/data systems.

\* You get energized, not frustrated, by evolving a living system. You've shipped new product on top of legacy before, and you'd rather modernize a stack that already serves 10,000 daily users than insist on a greenfield rewrite with your preferred tools.

\* You're high agency and take ownership without needing to be told what to do. You like being given hard, complex problems and finding creative solutions.

\* You use AI-native development tools (Cursor / Claude Code / v0) as part of your daily workflow, but you know where human judgment, architecture, security, and taste still matter.

\* You're a product engineer at heart and you've shipped products that scale, with the analytics and observability instincts to know when something is broken before users tell you.

\* You can attract, assess, and lead strong engineers, not by creating process theatre, but by setting a high bar, making good technical decisions, and creating an environment where excellent people do their best work.

\* You are excellent individually, but understand that a small team of exceptional people is so much more than the sum of its parts. We're going to be spending a lot of time together and we have no space on the team for brilliant jerks.

\* This role will not fit someone who needs a spec to get started or thinks AI is hype.

WHAT WE OFFER

\* Competitive salary and generous equity: Compensation depends on seniority, salary/equity preference, and founder-level fit, with standard equity vesting.

\* Perks that matter: A brand-new MacBook, personal wellbeing and phone budget, remote and flexible work, and six weeks paid holiday.

\* Build from scratch: You will own technical strategy, product architecture, engineering hires, and the technical side of our company-building journey.

\* High impact: Your work shapes the trajectory of The Hub, thousands of startups and people, and the entire Nordic ecosystem.

\* Industry-defining: You'll be at the forefront of HR-tech, a dinosaur industry that's about to transform.

RECRUITMENT PROCESS

\* Step 1: Initial conversation with Thomas (CEO) or Ellen (Head of Operations) to explore motivations, experiences, and mutual fit (30 minutes).

\* Step 2: Role-based interview with Thomas or one of our advisors (seasoned founders and engineers on our cap table, 45 minutes).

\* Step 3: Paid mini assignment: a tightly scoped, practical build session with us. No free consulting, no take-home theatre.

\* Step 4: Final conversation with Thomas: values, ways of working, and the bet itself (45 minutes).

\* We're reviewing through the summer, sneaking in some beach time along the way, then giving this our full focus in August, with one goal: the right hire, not the quick one.

Let's redefine how startups and talent connect, and have a ton of fun in the process.
