Job description

๐—”๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—จ๐˜€We are currently an early-stage startup but we aim to become the all-in-one platform for corporate events like retreats and team building, similar to what Booking is for private users. Unlike private users, companies have distinct needs, and until now, nobody has created a software program that fully addresses these needs. Here comes Always Friday: we have the expertise and determination to develop a marketplace that automates and digitalises the entire event-planning, from location scouting to seamless invoice management. Our platform will leverage a proprietary dataset, in partnership with world-class hotel chains, rather than relying on scraping data from other websites like existing alternatives amโ€‘building providers, and budgets in siloed tools and endless email chains.Join as tech employee #1 and shape both our product and culture from day one.๐—ช๐—ต๐—ผ ๐—ช๐—ฒโ€™๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—Ÿ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—™๐—ผ๐—ฟWeโ€™re looking for a ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ, a pragmatic and proactive software engineer with 2-4 ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜-๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€.
