Founding Full-stack Software Engineer
at Uprent
What we do
Everyone needs a home, yet the experience of renting - whether you're a tenant or a landlord - is terrible. Average person loses months of productivity on rental search. Landlords waste billions on commissions every year.
Housing issue is one of the most important problems of this generation. It is urgent to solve it.
We build a way for people to find homes auto-magically, while for landlords to rent out their property in <60 minutes for a fraction of the cost. We want you to be a part of it.
What will you do
Your one and only mission is to ship high-quality code at extreme velocity.
We eliminate all bureaucracy so you can focus purely on building.
Your ideas, however crazy or absurd, will be heard as long as they improve a user's life.
You will work directly with the CEO, CTO, and other engineers on virtually every part of the product.
You will own features end-to-end.
We're looking for
- Fast, iterative engineer
- High product taste
- Builds features and products end-to-end
- Does work with love and care
- Generalist
- Any age, sex, skin, location
Tech stack
We prioritize DX and use modern, sometimes experimental, technologies. You might not be familiar with all of these yet, and that’s okay! They’re intuitive to learn, so you’ll get up to speed quickly and enjoy working with them.
Frontend: SvelteKit
Backend: ElysiaJS
Database: SurrealDB

Working culture
Both Yury and Alex have been building startups for years with zero breaks. We only hire people with engineering backgrounds, so our team culture is pure geekery. We believe most problems are best solved through engineering - whether it's product, lead-gen, fundraising, or accounting.
We are currently a team of 3, expanding to 6 over the next two months:
- CEO
- CTO
- 3 engineers
- BizOps
We build small, elite teams of 10x performers. This allows us to eliminate bureaucracy and ship at a higher velocity than anyone else.
We work hard. That means 6 days a week, 12 hours a day. Many find it crazy. Yet, this seems to attract a turns-out-not-so-rare subset of people who are tired of European corporate culture. People who want to solve a problem that actually matters, and be surrounded by the most ambitious (possibly, autistic - you're warned!) people, united by the shared purpose of solving a generational problem and creating a best-in-class product.
This is a sign for everyone looking to build a generational company from Europe without moving to the US: apply.
We make sure to remove all unnecessary friction from your day-to-day life. We fix (and pay for) your food, transport, cleaning of your apartment, etc.
Offer
We'll pay you between €48,000 and €54,000 a year + between 0.1% and 5% in equity. You’re not just an engineer — you’re a Founding Engineer. You’ll get actual equity. This is as close as you can get to starting a company without taking on ‘founder risks'.
We prefer a small team of 10x performers earning top-of-market salaries over a large team of average people earning average pay. This means that as soon as we hit revenue milestones or secure new funding, we’ll raise salaries to the market.
Pipeline
- Application form
- Interview - short, more of a vibe check
- Test task (no code)
- Second interview. This is a more in-depth conversation. This is where you will ask your questions
- Test task (code)
- Job offer and legal mumbo jumbo
We are FAST
All the steps above combined generally take less than 10 days. If you’re equally quick, of course. We will get back to you within 24 hours, but probably much sooner. If you receive a reply within minutes, it's not AI. Yury reviews every application personally :)
