Build a NextGen mobile application shaping the Future of Personal Finance in the DACH Region

About Us:

We’re a Zurich-based bootstrapped early stage FinTech startup on a mission to redefine Personal Finance Management across the DACH region. Using the latest open banking technology, our AI-driven mobile app aims to transform complex financial data (incl. from debit, credit, stocks, crypto, pension, other digital/physical assets) into simple, actionable insights to help users optimize their finances and reach their life goals faster. We prioritize intuitive design, a seamless user experience, and accessibility for everyone. More concisely, the future vision is to build a NextGen CFO in your pocket that manages your finances for you.

Your Role:

We’re looking for a passionate and entrepreneurial Founding Engineer (a.k.a. passionate tech-wizard with an entrepreneurial mindset) who wants to build something innovative and meaningful from day one. Are you always undertaking innovative side projects, building apps just for fun, and thinking “this could be better” every time you use a (financial) tool? Then we want you!

In this role you'll take ownership of the technical foundation of our new product features — from developing a new functionality to quick iterations based on user feedback. You’ll also work closely with the founding team to shape the MVP, build core infrastructure, and lay the groundwork for a scalable, future-proof application. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in early-stage environments, enjoys thinking out of the box with little resources, and loves inventing new futuristic functionalities.

Location: Zurich, Switzerland (Remote-friendly, team works wherever they want with relevant touchpoints in person)

Commitment: 60–100% (Part-time possible, min. 20 hours per week)

Remuneration: Equity-stake in company (Salary only possible post-funding)

What We’re Looking For:

• Passionate about personal finance and excited to solve real-world problems with new tech solutions
• Proficient in React.js, Next.js (frontend) and Nest.js (backend)
• Solid knowledge of REST APIs, microservices, SQL/NoSQL databases
• Confident with Git, responsive design best practices, and Google Cloud Platform
• Hands-on, proactive, and able to work independently in a fast-moving environment
• Comfortable shipping MVPs or early-stage products (bonus for startup experience)
• Fluent in English; German is a plus but not required
• Prior fintech or finance industry experience is a plus but not a must (i.e. your motivation to learn, experiment and build is a must-have though)
• Last but not least, a team player, direct communicator and nice person to work with - team culture is very important to us :)

What You’ll Do:

• Build/experiment with NextGen features including mobile screenshot OCR, automatic portfolio parsing, specialized small language models, AI robo-advisor functionalities, user-command based immersive UI, predictive analytics, any other AI-driven futuristic feature, etc
• Build a quick and smart MVP in 1–2 months — test it with real users right away, with room to experiment (and trial and error failing)
• Collaborate with the founding team on the grander vision
• Founding team equity — own a stake in the company, serious skin in the game
• Chance to join as a co-founder after trial period
• Influence key product and technical decisions from the ground up
• Flexible working conditions and a collaborative, mission-driven culture
• Help shape a product that will improve the financial well-being of thousands, creating something people actually love and want to use because it improves their lives
• Build the future of finance in Switzerland and Europe

Ready to be a hands-on innovator and build something game-changing?

Please share a short motivation (3–5 sentences) explaining why you are motivated for this role and think you can bring our mobile application to the next level of innovation. Also feel free to attach a CV, portfolio, GitHub link, etc.

Let’s shape the future of personal finance — together. Apply now, we are excited to meet you!
