Metly
Founding Software Engineer
Join Metly as our first founding engineer and help shape the future of intelligent insights for pharma companies. We're a pre-seed startup that has successfully closed our funding round and is now ready to scale. You'll be building cutting-edge AI solutions with significant ownership over our technical direction and product development as we enter our next growth phase.
What you'll do: Work across our full tech stack (TypeScript/React/Python) to build and scale our platform from the ground up. You'll architect data infrastructure, develop AI/LLM integrations and agentic workflows, and create intuitive user experiences. As an early team member, you'll wear many hats - from hands-on coding to collaborating directly with pharma clients to understand their needs and translate them into product features. You'll work closely with our CTO (I'm the one writing this post :) ) to make foundational technical decisions that will define our platform for years to come. What we're looking for: 3-5 years of engineering experience (more or less for the right candidates). Proficiency in our core technologies, experience with Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure is a plus, and familiarity with AI/ML systems.
Most importantly, we want someone excited about building with ownership who can adapt quickly and communicate effectively with both technical teams and clients.
What you'll get: Competitive salary, equity, and high trust in your direction and goals. We work remotely with the business team based in Barcelona and Graeme (current sole technical founder) in Cape Town. This job is remote day to day but I would want to meet now and then in person for a coffee ideally :)
