I am not going to bullshit you working at a startup means a lot of hard work, for little to no pay, with a 90% chance that the idea you are working on will fail. This being said being a part of a startup team you will experience some of the greatest personal growth that you could ever achieve in a workplace. If you are looking for something more then just a line on your resume then Worthmore is a perfect opportunity for you to make an impact at an early stage startup. Plus we have free pastries.
Used phones are extremely valuable. In fact, every year at least 1 billion kroner worth of used phones enter the market in Denmark alone. In our research, we found that most people do not sell or trade-in their devices today for various reasons. However, over 90% of people responded that they would donate the value that their used phone could be sold for, entirely or in part, to philanthropic causes so long as it was easy and transparent. Today, however, there is no platform where this can easily be done. Worthmore aims to fill this gap in the market and be the platform where people and businesses can easily donate all or part of the value of their used technology to support philanthropic actions we all want to see more of.
As a company, we focus heavily on integrating the Nordic values of community, transparency, honesty, authenticity, and simplicity into our mission. This is not typical of our competitors in this space.
By being the company to plan and execute these causes, and showing our users instantly how their device could support them, we believe we can help reduce e-waste while spreading the love.
Working in a startup environment can be stressful, and a massive amount of work for little to no compensation. The upside is that you will be on the ground level of something that has the potential to be huge. We are looking for people who believe in what we are trying to do and want to be able to see their impact on the vision and growth of the project, developing themselves together with the company.
Ideally, you are passionate about programming and excited by the opportunity to build a real product from scratch. You should be self-motivated and have some experience working with React/Javascript based programming. An eye for and the ability to style a responsive design with JSS or SCSS is a huge plus.
Finally, I am looking for someone with whom we could build a company. A person who challenges the team to be our best, and motivates us when the going gets tough. Technical skills are a must, but more important is the ability to be a right-hand man (or woman) on this adventure.
Pursue or in possession of a degree from an IT/ Design University
Have some professional experience with FE development
Consider yourself a design thinker/problem solver
You are a master of responsive web design
Are a self-motivated worker who can dedicate a minimum of 15 hours a week
Pay attention to the details
Have good communication skills (English is a must, Danish a plus)
If you have any start-up experience it's a plus
One of the most critical questions we feel most startups forget to ask is what they can do for you. We are asking you to share your talents and skillsets that you have built up over many years to make our lives easier and our brand stronger.
For each person this answer is different, but it is our mission as a small startup to provide value to every team member in a way that is unique to them. We believe if you can give us what we need and we can offer you what you want then we are sure to be a good match professionally.
One cool part about our team is we are very diverse all coming from different backgrounds and pretty balanced male to female ratio.
In a startup even more critical than your skillsets is the team fit. That being said, our interview is an informal and relaxed introduction to our team and the project. We grab a coffee or a beer (your choice), then we talk a bit about the idea and listen to your thoughts about it. We will ask you if you have any previous work to show off, and then discuss a bit about what we can do for you. Finally, we will promise to give you a decision within a week.
If what we are doing sounds interesting to you or you have any questions, please give us a call or send an email, I look forward to meeting with you soon :)
