Head of Mobile / co-founder

Salary Competitive
Equity To be negotiated

We're solving a very big problem in the world's cities: That we don't know enough about what architecture, urban spaces and services that city-dwellers like and want. With a smartphone app coupled with a data intelligence platform, we retrieve raw data from people on the street and, through intelligent handling of big data, offer a whole new level of insight into what makes a good urban world. These insights will not only help us create better cities to live in — they are also highly monetisable.


Are you a mobile app developer that wants to have a real impact on the world, and build something almost from scratch?

Become part of our small but very experienced founder-team turning a truly big idea into reality.

We want to join forces with an iOS / Android developer who'll become part of our founding team. We are building a mobile app and a web-based data-intelligence platform at the same time, and we need resources on the mobile front.

As we are focusing on iOS for our MVP, we are especially interested in welcoming a Swift developer to the team, but as we want to go cross-platform as quickly as possible, your ideal skill set includes:

  • Flutter (or ReactNative)
  • Swift 
  • Android development (e.g. Kotlin)

We have no funding yet, but have real interest from both relevant investors and potential future customers and stakeholders. What we need to do now is build and launch a strong MVP to validate our proposition. An initial demo to a key stakeholder is planned for early September 2019.

Until we raise funding, you will, like us, be paid in equity. 

This is why we are also open to developers with existing commitments that help pay their way.

If you can allocate at least 20 hours per week to develop our product we will consider you. The hours invested will be reflected in the share of equity.

We are not just interested in a brief commitment, though. We are looking for a true co-founder who'd be willing to come on board full-time when we have raised finance.

We're solving a very big problem in the world's cities: That we don't know enough about what architecture, urban spaces and services that city-dwellers like and want. With a smartphone app coupled with a data intelligence platform, we retrieve raw data from people on the street and, through intelligent handling of big data, offer a whole new level of insight into what makes a good urban world. These insights will not only help us create better cities to live in — they are also highly monetisable.  NOTE: Formerly called 'Civitize'. Changed to 'CityChange' in spring 2021. --- We are currently four people — spread across Europe. Our Danish co-founder, Anders Ojgaard, has 18 years experience with both start-ups and consulting for some of Denmark's biggest companies and is a well-known figure on the urban design scene in Denmark. He has years of experience working with application design — and equally with urban architecture and communications. He recently left a position as the head of an internet project that had one of Denmark's largest corporations as its investor. Our backend developer has 10+ years of experience and works with a big stack. Significant experience with system architecture, PHP, JavaScript, server setups etc. Now building experience with Python and Swift. We have a product concept, a design and a prototype. We are currently building a MVP, which is going through alpha-testing at the time of writing, summer 2021. Expected launch in August/September. We are too early-stage for funding. We have, however, had an unusual degree of interest — including from both European VCs and one in the US. The aim now is to launch the MVP in a controlled environment (single city), presumably Copenhagen. Once we have built up an initial user-base, we will go back to the investors that have asked to be contacted at this stage. We are currently also laying the ground for collaborations with the biggest cities in Denmark, and have had one top-level meeting about a future partnership. We are currently interested in talking to 1-2 potential co-founders that want to come in at this early stage. At least one of these should be an experienced developer (PHP/Python/Elastic Stack). The other should be a person with relevant experience from start-ups and business development, ideally working with govtech / proptech OR it could be a UI/UX designer with experience with both mobile app design and web app design. Our website is currently password protected. Access will be given to interested parties.
