Technical Co-founder & CTO — Build RabbIT Data with Us

We’re looking for a technical co-founder and future CTO to become the third partner at RabbIT Data. We use crowdsourcing to collect visual condition data about infrastructure, helping owners make better decisions about maintenance and replacement. Think Pokémon Go for infrastructure—with fewer imaginary creatures and more streetlights. We have a product in use, a three-year agreement with Skanderborg Municipality and a repeat purchase. Now we’re looking for someone who can help decide what comes next and build it with us.

THE ROLE

You’ll take the lead on technology and help turn customer needs and company ambitions into sensible decisions about what to build, how and when. You’ll have something to work with from the start: we’ve mapped our current platform and put together a draft roadmap. Your first task will be to get familiar with what we have, ask the awkward but useful questions, and help us improve the plan as we prepare for our first investment round. You’ll help decide what we should build ourselves, where we need outside expertise and how to get the work done. We already work with an external development partner. You’ll help shape that relationship and make sure RabbIT has the knowledge and control to take responsibility for its own technology. You’ll also get involved in development, testing and solving problems. We need someone who can look under the bonnet, understand what they’re seeing and do something about it. Over time, you’ll help us:

• Keep the platform reliable, secure and ready for more customers.
• Make data collection, review and analysis work better together.
• Use AI and automation where they actually help.
• Build the foundations for future products, including benchmarking and predictive models.
• Work out which technical people we need and build the team as we grow.

There’s plenty to do. We’ll agree what matters most and keep the workload realistic for the time and resources we have.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You’ve taken responsibility for software architecture and delivery before. You can get to grips with an existing system, explain the choices involved and spot what needs fixing, simplifying or leaving alone for now. You can build and investigate solutions yourself. You also know when to bring in someone with different expertise. We’d like to meet someone who:

• Thinks about what customers need and what makes sense for the business.
• Takes initiative and can move things forward without a perfect brief.
• Cares about data quality and results we can trust and reproduce.
• Can lead technical work and work well with external developers.
• Brings their own ideas and is happy to challenge ours—and have theirs challenged too.
• Wants a say in where the company goes and takes responsibility for helping it get there.

Experience with data products, AI-assisted development or review automation would be useful. Startup experience is a plus. Curiosity, good judgement and wanting to build a company together matter a lot to us.

WHAT WE OFFER

You’ll join Lars and Elisabet. Our backgrounds are in the energy sector, asset management and leadership. We bring customer knowledge, commercial development and experience running the work behind the product. You’ll bring the technical perspective, and we’ll make the big decisions together. You’ll get:

• Meaningful equity ownership, with the details discussed directly.
• A real say in our strategy, product and how we work together.
• An existing product, a customer relationship and field experience to build on.
• A platform mapping and draft roadmap that you’re welcome to question.
• The chance to shape the technology and the future technical team.
• Flexible working hours and location, starting at around 10 hours per week.

The hours can vary with priorities and deadlines. We’re happy to be flexible and expect the same in return, with clear agreements so everyone knows what they can count on. Some team conversations happen in the evenings as we balance other commitments. The role is initially unpaid. Our ambition is to make a paid full-time role with a modest starting salary possible by the end of 2027, depending on funding and business progress. We want to build something worthwhile, be straight with each other when things get difficult and have some fun along the way. There will probably be more rabbit jokes than strictly necessary.
