Job description

Elephant Company is an ambitious young start-up building an AI-powered training and knowledge platform for companies with frontline teams that streamlines knowledge transfer and communication into the field.

The frontline workforce is a huge and underserved workforce – about 80% of the global workforce don’t work on a desk. Despite this, most digital tools target white collar workers. In addition, it is estimated that by 2030 shortage of skilled labor will result in $8.5 trillion in unrealized annual revenues. We are building the tool that companies are missing to tackle that challenge.
For that, we are looking for an ambitious full stack engineer to join our team.

About the role

  • High ownership, high impact: You will ship end-to-end features (frontend, backend, infra) with high-quality code that meets our business requirements, is scalable, and easy to maintain

  • Product-minded: You will talk to users, and make product decisions

  • You will help us to scaling our company from seed to IPO, building up a great tech team, and shipping a category-defining product

  • As an example, some items from our roadmap include:

    • Bringing our AI Course builder (”Cursor for corporate training”) to the next level

    • Improving our state-of-the-art document extraction pipeline (our optimized pipeline works better than any off-the-shelf product for our documents)

    • Making our AI Course builder multiplayer (we’re already using Y.js, the UX and synchronization is still missing though)

    • Improving our observability across our tech stack

    • Deploying our infrastructure on-premise for enterprise customers

Job requirements

  • You love writing code, and are an excellent communicator

  • Proven expertise with Typescript, Vue.js (Frontend) and solid experience with Node.js, PostgreSQL (Backend)

  • You love thinking about products and how people interact with them

  • You thrive in a small team, and are ready to take over responsibility (high ownership mentality)

  • You value learning, and already have strong knowledge in building full stack applications

  • You have an interest in working with Generative AI

  • You have founded your own start-up or worked at an early-stage start-up

Why Elephant

  • Autonomy and Trust: We give you space and trust to do your best work, and welcome your own ideas and initiatives

  • Growth Opportunities: You can grow by taking a lot of responsibility

  • Learning Environment: We love to learn, even if that means making mistakes sometimes

  • Compensation: We offer a competitive salary + equity
