Head of Engineering

Salary Competitive

Do you want to build a world-class neo-pension fund? iRobo is a Danish founded FinTech startup pioneering digital pension advice and management. Our vision is to offer simple, transparent and accessible investment services to the average pension saver. This is a unique opportunity for you to create a product that will shape the future of pension savings, using Nobel prize winning portfolio theory.


Your Background

You have a formal education in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent (in place of that, you acquired those skills after many years of on-the-job training, working with other extraordinary software engineers).                                                                                                                   


Profile

You are a software architect with significant front-end experience. You appreciate well-structured code base that's maintainable, scalable, testable, and flexible. You are passionate about bringing complex concepts to life in a beautiful and simple way. You are detail oriented and have great empathy for end-users. You can balance the trade-offs of SPA vs. Server-side rendering, and know when to use what. Leading a small agile development team makes your entrepreneurial spirit tick. You are visionary and have the desire to guide junior staff and pro-actively pursue the role as architect. Experience with financial services is a plus, but not a must. You will get the opportunity to define our tech stack. However, we expect you to implement a modern and highly scalable stack based on AWS cloud dynamic language.


 We offer

A unique position for you to completely reshape the pension fund industry by joining as an early employee and therefore a key hire with tons of room for you to create magic as a lead architect. Competitive compensation, office space in the heart of Copenhagen @ Rainmaking Loft – the leading co-working space for Nordic tech startups. Great flexibility in relation to your work-flow and schedule. We strive for a Silicon Valley mentality, so the atmosphere is relaxed and geeky. You will join a team of top tier finance and machine learning professionals with experience from leading global investment banks in New York, London and Copenhagen. We are backed by industry leading VCs, business angels and a top-notch advisory board with several hugely successful entrepreneurs and academics.

Working at
Grandhood

We are a mobile pension solution that simplifies and grow your pension.  Grandhood is adulthood, just better. 
We created the name ‘Grandhood’ since our UX research suggests that ‘retirement’ was associated with negativity and frustration. Well, with Grandhood it’s not! So, we created a new word for it. Our name cherishes the third part of your life. You have a childhood, an adulthood, and now you have a Grandhood too. Grandhood is not a place to grow old, but a place to make new memories.  We are Bold’n Credible. Casual. We rather want to initiate a casual conversation than leading a formal monologue. Frank. Honesty and trust is everything to us. We cut the bullshit and reveal the facts you actually need. Witty. We have a good intellectual capacity. Hence, we tend to be witty, always quick and inventive in our verbal humour. Bold. We are bold but not arrogant. We challenge the staus quo by daring to take ownership of new words and concepts and make them ours.
