Co-Founder / Tech Partner (AI & Open Source) from Estonia

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

Interest?

Short message containing:

• Technical background
• Project experience
