Job description

Wanted a Technical Co-Founder (AI / Software / Platform Architecture) from Estonia for the development of an open-source-based AI and data infrastructure company

What it’s about

Not just another tool - but a new system logic for data, processes and AI.

The market currently has a clear gap:

  • CO logic, ESG and operational data are usually considered in isolation.
  • One is missing Integrated infrastructure for traceability and process intelligence

Core Idea

A modular, open-source system with three levels:

  1. Core-System * Data and process logic * Structured documentation and linking systems * Digital twin of organizations

  2. Integration layer * Integration of ERP systems * Adapter instead of system replacement

  3. Application layer * ESG / CO / Governance / Projects * Industry and organizational solutions

Tasks

  • Co-design and build the overall technical architecture (core system, integrations, application layer)
  • Develop and integrate AI components (LLMs, semantic search, analytics)
  • Design and implement a modular, container-based platform (Docker, API-first approach)
  • Connect existing systems (e.g. ERP, data sources) via adapter logic
  • Contribute to product strategy and technical roadmap
  • Select and establish a sustainable open-source technology stack
  • Actively support the development of a strong network within the Estonian startup ecosystem (tech community, partners, programs)
  • Collaborate with funding bodies, programs, and relevant stakeholders in Estonia

Requirements

  • Experience in software development (ideally Python / backend / APIs)
  • Knowledge of AI / machine learning / LLM integration
  • Experience with container technologies and system architecture
  • Strong understanding of data structures, data models, and distributed systems
  • Interest in open-source ecosystems and privacy-focused solutions
  • Ability to structure and implement technical concepts independently
  • Entrepreneurial mindset and interest in a co-founder role
  • Strong networking mindset - ideally with exposure to startup ecosystems (experience in Estonia is a plus)

Benefits & conditions

  • Co-founder equity with long-term perspective
  • Opportunity to build a proprietary product with a clear IP strategy
  • Work on foundational infrastructure (not just feature development)
  • High degree of freedom in technology, architecture, and product decisions
  • Access to structured funding programs (Estonia / EU)
  • Direct access to the Estonian startup ecosystem and opportunity to build a strong network
  • Opportunity to shape key partnerships and structures from an early stage
  • Focus on sustainable, privacy-centric, and future-proof systems

Vision

Building a scalable ecosystem for:

  • ESG & CO transparency
  • Digitale Governance & Controlling
  • Knowledge and decision-making platforms
  • Cooperatives & Network Models

Interest?

Short message containing:

  • Technical background
  • Project experience
  • Motivation
