Full Stack Engineer

AllWishes is looking for a Full Stack Developer to join our founding team. We’re an early-stage startup building something we genuinely believe in, and we’re looking for someone who has affinity with topics such as digital legacy and estate planning. You’ll have a meaningful role in shaping both the product and the technology behind it. We’re looking for a developer who is confident building web and mobile applications for iOS and/or Android , has an entrepreneurial mindset , and enjoys figuring things out together with a small, ambitious team. What you’ll do You’ll work closely with our three co-founders to evolve AllWishes prototypes into a marketable product. Your responsibilities will mainly include:
- Designing and developing our iOS and/or Android application
- Building and maintaining the backend and APIs needed to support the app
- Making technical decisions together with the team
- Taking ownership of technical challenges and finding pragmatic solutions You will not be working alone. The team shares the ownership of these responsibilities. The founding team already brings experience in IT project management, marketing, e-commerce and finance. We’re looking for a technical expert to complement these skills. Who we’re looking for We care less about how you think, work, and collaborate. In terms of your experience, we expect you to have shipped applications, developed systems architecture and basic knowledge of cybersecurity. The role is hands-on, with the main focus on the backend development skills. You’ll likely be a great fit if you:
- Are confident creating an iOS and/or Android app
- Have full-stack development skills spanning front -and backend from React, Next and serverside work
- Have an entrepreneurial mindset and enjoy working in an environment where not everything is already figured out
- Can communicate openly about ideas, challenges, mistakes, and uncertainties
- Have a special interest in helping the target groups of Allwishes
- A big plus: Experience with encryption, cybersecurity, privacy, or secure software development would be a major advantage.
- Based in Zurich or central Switzerland, although we'll mostly work together remotely, we value the ability to meet regularly in Zurich. How we work For us, pleasant collaboration and fair treatment within the team, matter just as much as the product and profit. We strongly value: Equality. Openness. Transparency. Respect. We believe in a flat hierarchy where everyone can contribute ideas and challenge decisions, regardless of their role or age. Just as importantly, we want everyone to feel safe being transparent about anything work-related, whether something went wrong, a deadline might not be met, you disagree with a decision, or you simply have a different idea. We don't expect anyone to know everything. When a team member does not have the skills or confidence in order to succeed in a task alone, the team is willing to figure things out together. This isn't necessarily a regular employment position. Allwishes is still in its early stages, so we’re intentionally keeping things flexible. We’re open to discussing different arrangements regarding:
- Time invested
- Compensation
- Potential co-ownership/equity
- When and how you work Rather than presenting a fixed package, we want to figure out an arrangement through an open dialogue that works for both you and the team. If you’re looking for a traditional 9-to-5 position with a predefined role and responsibilities, this may not be the right fit. If you’re excited by the idea of joining an early-stage team, having a real influence on the product, and helping our target group, we’d love to hear from you. Interested? Apply via Linkedin and tell us a little about yourself, your experience, and what interests you about AllWishes. If possible, we’d also love to see examples of things you’ve built especially mobile apps, but also simple side-projects. Let’s talk and see if we’re a good fit for each other.
