We are looking for a talented developer who is ready to grab the helm and be a driving force in our product development team. You will join as one of yepstr’s first team members, and will be a part of laying the foundation that the business will be built on. Total ownership and responsibility from day one.

So – what would be my role?

Your role will continuously develop as the company grows but initially you will be working tightly with both our design and development teams on the following:
– Help the design team design a stunning user interface and user experience
– Create said UI and UX using react and your choice of javascript packages
– Optimize the UI so that it runs smoothly on iOS and Android

The deal

In addition to a salary and an employee stock option program you will be a part of a young, diverse and highly motivated group of people. We work very closely together which means we learn a lot from each other be it development, AD/UX, marketing or how to run a small company. We also have fun together, drink beer, play games, eat dinner, party, exercise etc. Finally, we don’t believe in facetime and love flexibility which means we find the hours that work for us and get the job done.

However make no mistake, we are a start-up which means that we will, at least for the first year, not be able to give you the fantastic salary you deserve.
