GitHub made it easy for the world to build software together. SomebodyMakeIt does the same for physical products.

An IP owner or a brand publishes a project: what may be made, where, and at what royalty. We match the right producers, the work is awarded and made near the customer, and everyone on the product line is paid from the same sale. The licence, the brand rules, the approved files, the partners, the work itself and the money all live in one system.

It is crazy that software has world class infrastructure for building together while physical products are still stuck in email, spreadsheets, fragmented sourcing and expensive guesswork. That is the thing we are here to fix.

SomebodyMakeIt reduces risk, waste and friction, and opens up a new, sustainable way to test, fund and produce physical goods at scale. We’re a small but ambitious team looking for a Senior Fullstack Developer to join us as our first hire and a core contributor.

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Fullstack Developer who builds with AI and builds AI into products. You would be our first dedicated engineer, working directly with our CTO and owning whole verticals from problem to production: the licensing and royalty rails that move real money, and the AI layer that is the core of what we do.

You will

• Take full ownership of a vertical, from a problem statement through deployment and scaling.

• Develop, test and maintain fullstack features across frontend and backend.

• Build the licensing and royalty rails: licence identifiers on charges, approval gates, royalty statements, and settlement across three parties.

• Design and build AI into the product: structuring messy project input into matchable data, party blind producer matching on real capability, and search over structured data.

• Build accessible, responsive and reusable interface components in React and Next.js that brands and producers use daily.

• Architect secure, scalable backend services and APIs on Supabase and Postgres: schema design, migrations, row level security, and Stripe Connect for payouts.

• Optimise performance and enforce security across the stack.

• Work with product and design to sharpen the experience, and carry each feature from idea to launch.

• Contribute to code reviews, tests and the internal documentation the next person will read.

• Use agentic tooling as your default way of working, and improve the setup we already have.

• Work in a small team with short feedback loops, where what you ship reaches customers in days.

What we are looking for

• Proven senior fullstack experience in TypeScript with React and Next.js, and a track record of taking features from vague problem to production on your own.

• Strong backend craft: Node, SQL and Postgres, well structured REST APIs, database schema design and migrations, row level security.

• Comfortable with Tailwind CSS, component driven interfaces and server side rendering.

• Comfortable in our stack: Next.js on Vercel, Supabase and Postgres, Stripe Connect, TypeScript throughout.

• Experience building with generative AI in production

• You already work AI native. Agentic coding tools are daily muscle memory rather than something you tried once.

• Solid grasp of security and compliance.

• An ownership mindset: comfortable with both the responsibility and the accountability.

• At home in a fast moving, early stage environment.

• A clear communicator who works well async and enjoys owning a problem, making the reversible calls yourself and moving.

• Fluent English.

Nice to have

• Agentic AI workflows, tool use and LLM driven search over structured data.

• Payments work: split payouts, VAT, multi party settlement. It is where you would start.

• Testing and CI discipline. We run Vitest and Playwright and expect a green build before review.

• Two sided platform experience, where both sides have to show up for anything to work.

• BSc or MSc in Computer Science or a related field. A strong track record of shipping counts for more.

Why join us

• Work directly with the CTO on the core of the product, with real influence on where it goes.

• Backed by Random Ventures, with Kustaa Valtonen and Peter Vesterbacka as investors and strategic advisors.

• Competitive salary aligned with your experience, plus an employee stock option program.

• Pension scheme and full Norwegian parental leave rights.

• Flexible hours and a flexible hybrid model, Oslo-based, with the option to work remotely within Europe.

How to apply

Write to us if this sounds like you: if you have the startup grit, love to build, and are not afraid to challenge how things are done.

Send us something you built and a paragraph on how you actually work with AI day-to-day. A CV is welcome, and it is the least interesting thing you can send us.
