Hi future Likvido employee! As the co-founder and Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of a very fast-growing startup: I need you. We’re looking for a “development manager” / "product manager". This is basically “The Right-Hand of the CTO”, as I need help with everything from speccing new tasks, testing tasks, answer questions from developers and even conceptualize new features.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ABLE TO CODE. However, It’s expected you’re the rare unicorn that is both technically very strong but also very good at communications, user experience and understands the business side of things. 

What are we doing: Since we launched Likvido in April 2018, we’ve absolutely nailed it. Not only do we now have 1.000+ customers - among many of the hottest startups and scaleups in Denmark - we also managed to get very serious funding, have very good unit economics and built a really cool technical platform. However, we’re just getting started.

So what are we doing? We are solving the biggest reason for companies going bankrupt in Europe. You see, 19 % of all invoices are paid late, and roughly half of all bankruptcies are caused by lack of cash. 

Likvido is defining a new category we’re calling a “customer payment system”. Today you integrate Likvido with your accounting system, and then we automate sending out invoices, send our reminders, start debt collection and post back to the accounting system. Looking ahead, we will add financial products, give the whole organization access to our system and much more. In brief, we help companies get paid - on time - and forecast their cash flow. 

Responsibilities 

Your job responsibilities will be:

To maintain high product quality, through both lots of testing of new features & continuously improve everything we have live 

• Ensure great performance by metrics such as: errors in logs, fast page-load, check request amounts
• Release management and making sure new code goes live (without problems)
• Help our CTO specify new tasks to our development team, and verify specification makes sense on all new tasks
• Help our development team with questions on features
• Be responsible for our internal IT support email

To make it concrete, during an average day, you could expect to do some of the following:

• Testing a new feature made by a developer, and giving structured feedback (in Github)
• Checking website speed and amount of requests (in Azure)
• Testing a new release is ready to be rolled into production and then pulling the “release trigger!” (in Azure Devops)
• Reply to support tickets from our internal support department (in Intercom), and realize we have a bug, that you specify a solution for our development team (in Github)
• Help developers with questions about tasks (in Slack)
• Get a few hours to come up with some examples of how a new type of page could look (concept development)

Requirements :

We’re very open to your background, but the following is important to have in mind:

• Fluent in English
• Some kind of formal education in business, economy, communication, IT or marketing is required
• You’re very detail-oriented and structured
• You’re IT-savvy. You should be able to: 1) download development programs & run applications from your computer 2) be open to learn SQL / databases if you don’t know it 3) use many different systems
• You have a Windows computer or are OK with installing Bootcamp and running Windows when you work. Parallels is not good enough

A big part of the job is providing feedback to our developers by testing and speccing. It’s also extremely important that you’re able to quickly understand what we do, so you can help us improve the product. It’s a huge plus if you’ve worked with SaaS (software-as-a-service) before, or has worked in accounting systems.

It’s also worth noting that we’re a startup with big ambitions. This also come with big expectations. We don’t expect you to work crazy Silicon Valley hours, but you should also expect to work significantly more than 40 hours per work.

Info about us:

We’re a Danish company with offices in Copenhagen. However, more than half the company is working remotely and we’re launching internationally in 2020.

Some FAQs about the role:

• A remote role: work from anywhere you want! 
• A very interesting position with many different tasks
• A competitive salary
• Very fast learning-curve as you will be expected to manage lots of things & systems quickly

Remote work is OK. Meeting at the office in Copenhagen is OK as well.
