Company mission
To let founders both own & grow their businesses.
Role
Who you are
- Proven track record of development of complex web products
- Prior experience in a small startup is a huge plus
- 5 years of experience of development with JS and related ecosystems (we're happy to use different languages later down the road, but the initial stack is heavily bound to JS)
- Knowledge in building secure applications — OWASP 101
- Excellent understanding of a major cloud provider (AWS/Google Cloud/Azure), CI/CD, containerisation
- Good understanding of how building a business works — knowing where to make tradeoffs for speed, and where to aim for technical excellence to avoid costs in the future
- Understanding of Machine Learning concepts is a plus
- Excellent knowledge of the English language (German is a plus, but not a must)
What the job involves
- We are looking for developers with a passion for building products and the ambition to become technical leaders
- As an early employee, you'll have to work on features in all parts of the cycle — from specification to deployment to production.
- This means that you will have the opportunity to work with databases, backend, frontend, DevOps, machine learning, and system architecture.
- It will be mostly up to you which of those will dominate your day-to-day schedule; it also means you should be comfortable with working in various contexts
Our take
Traditionally, SaaS founders must pitch to VCs or try to get money from banks in order to raise funds. This means that these founders must be able to find intros to VCs in their network and can face months of waiting for a financial decision. Vitt has set out to modernise fundraising and change how founders raise capital and manage their cashflow. The company wants to enable founders to grow and own their business by offering them upfront, non-dilutive financing against their own cashflows.
The company is building a platform that both simplifies fundraising for SaaS founders and creates a new asset class for investors to invest in. A SaaS company that has contracted revenue can apply for financing upfront (rather than waiting for cash to come in monthly), and Vitt will analyse their financial data to give them a financing decision in a matter of minutes.
With software being central to the modern economy, there is considerable opportunity for this early stage start up to build a substantial business. Backed by some of the best early-stage funds and operators on the planet, Vitt certainly has opportunity for growth.
