Ihre Aufgaben
Ihr Profil
You might be our person if:
You've shipped complete products—ideally something that touches hardwareYou obsess over UX details that most engineers ignore (information architecture, interaction flows, animations, sounds, micro-interactions)
You're going all-in on AI-assisted development and have real examples to show
You can reference Flighty, Linear, or Things as design inspiration—not Jira or Salesforce
You're comfortable learning domains you don't know yet (embedded, livestock, whatever)
The idea of debugging collars on cattle in rural Paraguay sounds interesting, not terrible
You want to build something that matters in the physical world
Background we're looking for:
Strong software engineering foundation (any language/stack— AI bridges gaps)
iOS/mobile development experience (our UX vision lives here)
Some exposure to hardware or embedded systems (even hobbyist level)
Product sense—you know what "simple" really means
Some exposure to product or interaction design (e.g. designing flows in Figma, collaborating closely with designers, or caring deeply about layout and visual hierarchy)
Startup mentality: resourceful, autonomous, ships fast
What we're NOT looking for:
Someone who needs a team before they can be productive
Enterprise software mindset ("let's add more features")
AI skeptics ("I don't trust generated code")
People who've only worked in big company silos
Anyone who needs urban lifestyle amenities to be happy
