Job Description
Software Engineer — 2 Weeks in Helsinki. Pre-Launch Hardware. Founding Track.
Flights, own room, all food covered. Start as soon as you can get here.
Pat Pending is building
Limpet
— a device that lets anyone seamlessly upgrade the storage of any laptop.
Everyone who's been offered a pre-order has bought it within the day.
We would rather fail as a company than adopt a subscription model and believe form can follow function so long as it is beautiful.
The two weeks
You'd be at FR8 (fr8.so), a five-floor campus in Helsinki housing a competitively selected international group of start-ups, with demo day at Slush (slush.org) — the largest venture gathering in the world.
Flights both ways, your own room, all food, two private chefs, sauna, gym, laundry taken care of. You bring a laptop.
The work spans macOS and iOS, filesystem and device-level plumbing via Swift, making the whole thing demo-solid in front of a lot of people.
What you'd get out of it
There are only a few of us, so you will start by building on the next iteration of Limpet straight away.
Two weeks is also an audition, and we'll be straight about that: if it works, there's a real conversation about staying on — founding engineer, with a stake through our employee share pool. No promises on the outcome, only that the door is open and your name is on what ships.
Us
Elliot and Jsun — design and engineering, AR/VR software projects with Apple, product and industrial design briefs with Sony and Kenwood.
