About this role
Wanted a Technical Co-Founder (AI / Software / Platform Architecture) from Estonia for the development of an open-source-based AI and data infrastructure company
What it's about
Not just another tool – but a new system logic for data, processes and AI.
The market currently has a clear gap:
- CO₂ logic, ESG and operational data are usually considered in isolation.
- One is missing Integrated infrastructure for traceability and process intelligence
Core Idea
A modular, open-source system with three levels:
1. Core-System
Data and process logic Structured documentation and linking systems Digital twin of organizations
2. Integration layer
Integration of ERP systems Adapter instead of system replacement
3. Application layer
ESG / CO₂ / Governance / Projects Industry and organizational solutions
Tasks
Co-design and build the overall technical architecture (core system, integrations, application layer) Develop and integrate AI components (LLMs, semantic search, analytics) Design and implement a modular, container-based platform (Docker, API-first approach) Connect existing systems (e.g. ERP, data sources) via adapter logic Contribute to product strategy and technical roadmap Select and establish a sustainable open-source technology stack Actively support the development of a strong network within the Estonian startup ecosystem (tech community, partners, programs) Collaborate with funding bodies, programs, and relevant stakeholders in Estonia
Requirements
Experience in software development (ideally Python / backend / APIs) Knowledge of AI / machine learning / LLM integration Experience with container technologies and system architecture Strong understanding of data structures, data models, and distributed systems Interest in open-source ecosystems and privacy-focused solutions Ability to structure and implement technical concepts independently Entrepreneurial mindset and interest in a co-founder role Strong networking mindset – ideally with exposure to startup ecosystems (experience in Estonia is a plus)
Benefits
Co-founder equity with long-term perspective Opportunity to build a proprietary product with a clear IP strategy Work on foundational infrastructure (not just feature development) High degree of freedom in technology, architecture, and product decisions Access to structured funding programs (Estonia / EU) Direct access to the Estonian startup ecosystem and opportunity to build a strong network Opportunity to shape key partnerships and structures from an early stage Focus on sustainable, privacy-centric, and future-proof systems
Vision
Building a scalable ecosystem for:
ESG & CO₂ transparency Digitale Governance & Controlling Knowledge and decision-making platforms Cooperatives & Network Models
