The opportunity

How taxation, accounting and payroll work today is a pain for everyone. Still every business must do it continuously. It is the backbone that our economy runs on.

Enabled through AI, we are turning this often-painful process into a radically simple experience for our customers, so they can focus on what matters to them: growing their business.

About us

We are a team of experienced entrepreneurs who have scaled businesses to 10s of millions of users, 10s of millions in revenue, multiple countries, and 9-digit exits - and we are just getting started. We are backed with € 3 million in equity, even though we haven’t actively raised funding yet – yes, investors are chasing us.

Tasks

The role

As a Co-Founder & Head of Engineering, you’ll build Tribex from the ground up together with the rest of the founding team.

While we are providing a world-class professional service to our customers, technology is at our core and you will be an integral part of building it from scratch.

Build and mentor a team in the first weeks, scale it throughout the next years
Work directly with the other founders and customers to convert feedback into a roadmap

Our tech context (greenfield)

Prefer boring tech where it matters; innovate where it differentiates.
You’ll define it; maybe: Python, TypeScript/Node, Postgres, Redis/Queue, Docker/K8s, AWS, vue/ react/ ...
Tooling budget for whatever makes you fast. No legacy, no yak‑shaving.
