Salary Competitive
Equity To be negotiated

We at Edventures want to find you who is as interested as us in battling global shortcomings within entrepreneurship education and the consequences it brings, such as income and gender inequalities. We believe that entrepreneurship is a means of empowerment in a more mobile and fast-moving global economy. We are developing the world’s first AI coach for entrepreneurs and are now looking for brave and tech-savvy souls to join our journey and hopefully become core members of our team.


About the role

We are now looking for a front end developer who wishes to join our team and use their skill set to do some real impact in the world. As our UX and Product designer, you have the opportunity to set the direction of our complete user experience, meaning you’ll create great functions and develop an amazing interface for iOS, Android and web environments. Your tasks will vary between hands-on development of our UX across different platforms, to strategic decision making and planning. In this role, you’ll be able to work whenever and wherever during the day (or night) it suits you - we have no time tracking of the number of hours you put in, instead, we only look at the output you produce.

To make sure you and the rest of our team make a good fit, we will start with a trial period of 3-6 months and depending on your impact on our development, ability to learn new skills and the chemistry within the group, we are open to keeping you as a core team member and co-founder of the company. As a co-founder, you’ll also receive an equity stake in the company.


 

We offer you

  • an open, welcoming, trial-and-error yet performance-oriented, work environment
  • continuous personal and professional development, as long as you are susceptible for it
  • the opportunity to tell your grandchildren “I was there when it happened” and be a part of something BIG

 

We believe you are

  • currently studying a BS/MS in Computer Science, Design or of equal relevance
  • eager to use your design skills to do some real impact in the world and leave your mark
  • eager to learn new skills as a developer and grow both professionally and personally
  • a communicative and technological team player
  • an independent problem solver and a goal oriented person with a good attitude
  • interested in improving and democratising the opportunities for young entrepreneurs worldwide


 

Your tasks include

  • developing a web application, to sync with our backend, for our first demo
  • leading the process of designing and implementing features for our UX, including our gamification architecture and functionality
  • help maintain and improve code quality and a smooth UX, across platforms
  • writing efficient code and design features, keeping object-oriented programming in mind
  • wireframing, prototyping and usability testing

 

We need you to be

  • experienced with HTML, CSS and Javascript
  • familiar with web application development (like React and its ecosystem, or equal languages)
  • familiar with code versioning tools like Git
  • fluent in English, oral and written, and be able to express your thoughts in a clear way
  • familiar with user profiling and related architecture
  • passionate about our users (entrepreneurs) and creating a great user experience for them
  • disciplined and motivated enough to be working from the beach, the couch or the coffee shop - anywhere you like really

 

If you don’t already know this, we want you to learn

  • basic GDPR (in order to better understand how legal requirements affect our design)
  • Swift and/or Kotlin for iOS and Android development (but if you have better suggestions on other languages for the same purpose, we’d love to hear your thoughts)
  • more about interaction design and information architecture and keep up with the latest findings in the field

 

It’s a bonus if you are

  • experienced with working towards young target groups 
  • familiar with remote working
  • familiar with Swift and/or Kotlin (or other languages suited for iOS and Android development)
