Senior fullstack engineer/tech lead - build privacy software that makes a difference

Salary Competitive

Openli automates the process of vetting and managing vendors, helping companies to scale their privacy and vendor management efforts while saving time and increasing quality.

Stricter privacy laws protect us all, but can be overwhelming for companies to keep track of. Our experience is that most of them want to be good data citizens, but don’t have the resources or knowledge to implement what's needed. That’s where we come in.


About us

We’re a venture-backed startup, at the beginning of our growth journey. Our CEO, Stine Tornmark, is a privacy lawyer with extensive experience in building successful SaaS companies. The rest of us also bring substantial SaaS experience and we’re passionate about product-led growth and building products that make a difference.

What’s the job?

You’ll be part of a product team, not only writing code but also taking part in the discovery of which features best solve our customers’ core challenges. You’ll build the product in close collaboration with the other experts on our teams – we focus on creating cross-functional teams, not an engine room filled with developers.

You’ll also mentor other engineers, giving (and receiving!) feedback, and honing your leadership skills.

We use Trello for kanban as part of our lightweight development process, and

GitHub with code reviews (and CircleCI for CI/CD) to ensure quality and provide feedback. Our current development stack is detailed on https://stack.openli.com/.


What we ask of you

  • If you’ve broken a monolith down into microservices, and scaled anything 100x, we’d love to talk. Our ideal candidate has plenty of experience building, testing, deploying and maintaining SaaS products on cloud infrastructure.

  • Your educational background isn’t the most important – we care about drive, creativity, and personality.

  • Bonus points for experience with React and Ruby on Rails, so please mention anything relevant in your application. Nobody’s perfect, but attention to detail is noticed and valued.

  • Our primary working language is English as we’re a diverse international team, so it's important that you speak and write English fluently. All applications should be in English.


What we offer

  • An opportunity to be part of a tech company on a mission, working with and learning from smart, fun, passionate and dedicated people.

  • Real influence on the technical direction of the product, how we build and scale, and which technologies we use to do so.

  • Extra medical insurance.

  • A spacious, centrally-located office in Copenhagen, including subsidised lunch.

  • Flexibility for some days working from home/remotely.

  • A diverse group of people, and a workplace where you can truly be yourself.

  • Everyone makes mistakes, and we actively strive to avoid assigning blame when something goes wrong, and instead focus on learning and improving as a team.


We have a culture of fantastic people who all have a voice, who all matter, and who all make a difference. And so will you.


The interview process

Your time is just as valuable as ours, so we promise not to waste it. We don’t believe in coding challenges or fourth-round interviews.


We review applications continually. If we think there might be a fit, this is the process:

  1. We’ll invite you for a 15-minute video chat with our Tech Lead to cover the basics.

  2. As the next step, we’ll invite you for an in-person interview at our office to:

    • meet our CPO, and one of our co-founders (~30 minutes);

    • collaboratively discuss a real engineering problem with our Tech Lead and another engineer, using a whiteboard and any googling you like (~60 minutes).

  3. There is no 3. We’ll make you an offer if we get this far. ;)


If you have any questions, please email us. A real person from the product team will get back to you.
