Octocom | London | ONSITE | Full-time | Full Stack Developer | £50k-90k salary + Substantial Equity

We’re an early stage startup building a solution to streamline the online shopping experience, guiding customers to their ideal product choice using conversational agents. Essentially, our vision is to replicate the experience of in-store expert shopping advisors, but online.

We’ve launched our product and already have paying clients. So far we are growing substantially fast (4x revenue from past quarter) and our biggest bottleneck is product development speed.

We are looking for a generalist that is capable of quickly building web apps, integrations, scrapers, and algorithms. Additionally, interest/experience in LLM applications AND/OR information retrieval systems is preferred, yet not required. We don’t have a strict requirement for experience or education; candidates will be judged on merit (speed, skills, intelligence). Stack: TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL.

There is no such thing as ex-FAANG where we are looking for employees. As we are a remote company and ourselves are from Lithuania (Eastern Europe), we primarily look for employees from that region. Senior developers here usually earn between gross €5,000 - €7,000 per month.

We recently started searching for our startup's first paid programmer, and we thought it would be easy to find a competent candidate, especially when offering attractive compensation. However, we were wrong. At first, we thought we were just bad at recruiting, but after talking with our angel investor, we realized that it is not only difficult (especially for a young startup) but also significantly harder than finding new clients. Does every young startup face the same problem?
