Dear all 👩‍💻

We do not want to waste your time, which is why you ONLY should apply to this position if you:

Chief Technology Officer (CTO) 

Are you passionate about building kick-ass full stack technology? Do you want to play a key role in an early- stage and purpose-driven community tech startup? 

We are looking for a CTO to take make!mpact to the next level!  

Make!mpact is !mpact. Make!mpact is a community. And Make!mpact is also you. 

You will report to our CEO and become part of the Management team.

In your role, you will contribute to set the overall IT strategy for the make!mpact app, in close dialogue and collaboration with our Product Manager.


As our CTO, you will be the IT-Tech lead and full stack developer in charge. 

We offer you the unique opportunity to coordinate a team of talented and purpose-driven developers - and build your A-team together with highly skilled colleagues.

Our solution is built as a React Javascript Web app, with a backend of Google Firebase and several API-integrations with various stakeholders. Furthermore, it consists of mobile native solutions (IOS and Android), wrappers, opening up the web-app in full screen.

Our tech stack is based on:

  • ReactJS

  • TypeScript

  • Google Firebase (back-end)

  • Experience working with cloud functions

  • NodeJS

  • General scraping exercises to various sites 

  • rest-API knowledge


An awesome if you also are familiar with:

  • Zapier integration to various SAAS solutions

  • MailChimp/Mandrill setup

  • Integration to API’s (Interactive Brokers - SIX Financial Group and Twitter)

  • IOS Native App

  • Android Native App


It would be considered an advantage if you have a flair for building UI for mobile devices and how to implement it using ReactJS and TypeScript.

We use a cloud/serverless architecture provided by Firebase to maximize uptime and allow scalability.

No legacy systems here!

This role is an extension to the already founding team as part of their ambitious growth strategy.

We are looking for:

  • Can-do attitude. We expect you to bring a “get shit done” approach when everyone else is busy. You’re in charge!

  • Passion. “Be the change you want to see in the world”. You are enthusiastic about building a purpose-driven, ambitious, scalable and viable international business.

  • Positivity. You are motivated and celebrate your victories and your learnings - have stamina and a growth mindset.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset. Hands-on experience building or scaling a business is a plus!

  • Structure. From idea generation to execution, you set goals and you strive to reach them, ensuring you are on track - either individually or in a team.

  • Self-starter. You have the confidence to move forward with little or no guidance. 

We offer: 

  • Equity. We are bootstrapping, but we will of course remunerate the efforts of our Management team with a sweet sweat equity package. 

  • Co-founder title. We’ll make your profile shine!

  • Impact. You have the possibility to make a difference and change the status quo from day one.

  • Trust. You know your sh*t! As a domain owner, you are given the freedom to implement your strategies and tactics.

  • Team and office life. Inside and outside our office based in Copenhagen, we strive to be a bunch you can rely on.

Requirements:

To join the founding team of make!mpact you have to be able to say YES to the following requirements:

  • Have completed your studies.

  • Can commit to a full-time position for 1-2 months with the founding team

make!mpact

make!mpact is a Nordic Impact Fintech startup with a focus on sustainability and impact investing. Our goal is to generate a positive societal impact by changing people’s financial behaviour.  make!mpact in a nutshell: We are not here to tell you how to live sustainable – nor are we here to tell you what is right or wrong when it comes to investing your money. We know that there are many ways in which you can make the world a better place, but we also know that one of the most effective ways to – collectively – make a difference, is by investing in companies that are helping to generate a positive societal impact. You might already now be thinking that investing is for someone with years of experience and deep industry knowledge – and of course, a lot of money to invest. While this may be true for many of the impact investors out there, it definitely shouldn’t stop you from getting started on your own impact investing journey – no matter your income or knowledge about investing and/or sustainability. Our m!club app matches the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to global listed companies that share the same values as you. Our goal is to enable you to make informed decisions about investments that align with your values represented in the 17 SDGs and thereby get you started investing with a sustainable mindset.
