Bear in mind: You need to 1) speak danish to apply to the position and 2) be able to work from our office in Copenhagen 2 - 3 times/week 🤟🏻
Hey you!
First off: I bet you have read a dozen of the job descriptions for CTO, haven’t you? 🥱 And you haven’t found a fit yet, I assume? Well - I’m glad that’s the case because we might be your next co-founders if you know your React.js. and Git.Â
Let me quickly tell you about our startup.Â
DJTILBUD is a platform connecting DJs with customers looking for a DJ. Customers receive 3 quotes on their event - be it a wedding, birthday or regular party. If the customer decides on a quote, DJTILBUD gets a 20% commission of the total price of the job. We have proved traction through a constant flow of customers who wish to receive 3 offers for DJs resulting in a 1.4 mio DKK revenue from January 2025 - Juli 2025.
We went full time on this September, 2024. Moved to Bali, made a lot of mistakes, grew the business, made more mistakes - and now we finally have a smooth business with a constant flow of leads and a shit-ton of good ideas and a strategy to become the best place to book a DJ in Denmark.
Have a look at Lausts LinkedIn (posting regularly) to get a glimpse of who we are: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laust-skrudland-6b4845197/recent-activity/all/
We worked closely together with a developer and a UX’er from the consultancy TRIFORK to build our MVP software 2 years ago. Since then, we've been working with Freelancers to further develop the platform (meaning we know our way around design, sprints, user-feedback and so forth).
The platform live, and we're continuously closing DJ jobs in Denmark, but we have a backlog of tasks and a lot of feedback to incorporate in the platform. This is where you’ll get in the picture.Â
The platform is built in :Â
Next.js (TypeScript) as a frontend
Supabase as database.Â
.. rest your case. The software is documented, and you will have an onboarding session with a consultant from Trifork to synchronise you with the software.Â
Laust: This text is written by me, Laust - one of the co-founders. IÂ graduated from CBS in 2023, and I have 6 years of experience in digital marketing (SEO, e-mail marketing and Google Ads) and web design in WordPress and Figma.Â
Arthur: The other part of DJTILBUD is Arthur, who also graduated from CBS in 2023. He brings five years of digital marketing experience as well and he has a knack for data analysis. Also, Arthur has formerly managed developers in another startup and is familiar with fancy buzzwords such as user stories, MVP, Sprints etc.Â
Together we make a good duo (in all honesty), but we need technical expertise (you, hopefully?) to become the preferred platform for selecting DJs in Denmark.
We know we are a good duo as we have successfully started another company in 2021, LEJSB. The last couple of years, we've (among other things) delivered 180 Soundbokses to Roskilde Festival attendees. However, this industry is seasonal, hence we wish to dominate the DJ market.Â
🔥 Apart from this, we have 8 freelancers within design, automations, wordpress dev and VA so we can move fast, fast, fast on all initiatives.
Disclaimer: As a CTO, you will not work isolated from Arthur or me, Laust. Laust has skills in Figma and WordPress web design, while Arthur engages in customer dialogues, gathering feedback to enhance the platform. We're all hands-on in shaping the software together.
You'll be joining us part-time to further develop our web-based platform where customers get their offers. Essentially, you'll be the third co-founder with full responsibility for our platform's evolution. Ready to dive in?
You’ll be responsible for:Â
Collaborating with Laust and Arthur in shaping the direction of our platform.
Further developing our MVP of the software to secure the best user experience for both customers and DJs
Making decisions on the technology that will best facilitate the platform's scalability.
You should have experience with:Â
React.js
TypeScript
Git
It’s a plus if you have experience working with:Â
Next.js
Supabase
The chance to step into the role of a co-founder at DJTILBU (20% equity vested in a 12 month vesting period)
Working with Arthur and Laust who have gotten their hands dirty within marketing, sales and UI/UX for the last 5 yearsÂ
A key role in a company (the software is the foundation of our company, duh?) where things move fast, fast, fast ⚡️, and your work has a direct impact.
A seat at our cozy office at Frederiksberg with other solo-founders
A plan for selling the business within 2 - 4 years (bootstrapped, for now)
If we believe you're the right fit, we'd like to invite you for a trial period for 3 months (3 - 5 days/week) at our Frederiksberg office. The trial period includes a 10.000 DKK/month payment.
Yes, we know it's not enough to rent a yacht in Spain.
.. But that's our way of showing, that we respect the time you put in our start-up.
Last year we had un-paid trial periods for a CTO. Luckily, now we're able to pay the right candidate during the trial period.
During the trial period, we'll drink a shit-load of coffee, get to know each other and have a look at our backlog 🥰 - to see, fundamentally, how well the three of us work together. Ready to dive into this trial with us?
Apply by linking your LinkedIn profile and we'll be in touch.
Also: Both Arthur and Laust speak Danish and English fluently.
