Description

Founding Full Stack Developer We are looking for a product-minded full stack developer to help build a new software platform for the international wood trade. Today, global plywood trade still relies heavily on email, spreadsheets and long-standing personal relationships. We believe starting new international trade relationships should be dramatically easier. That's why we're building Woodrow One. Woodrow connects industrial buyers with relevant producers through a demand-driven platform designed around trust, structured quotations and long-term business relationships. About us Before Woodrow, we built Plywood This Week, a market intelligence platform covering the global plywood industry. Building that platform gave us a unique understanding of how international plywood trade actually works, and where the biggest friction still exists. Now we're building the next company. What you'll do Initially you'll own two products. Plywood This Week Take technical ownership from our external developer. Maintain and gradually improve the existing SaaS platform. Continue developing features together with the team. Woodrow One Build our MVP from the ground up. Shape the architecture together with the founder. Help design the future trust and payment layer. Talk to customers. Challenge ideas. Build the company, not just the software. Who you are You're probably not looking for another corporate development job. You enjoy building products from scratch. You like discussing ideas on a whiteboard just as much as implementing them in code. You think about the customer before thinking about the technology. You enjoy understanding how businesses work and aren't afraid to enter a traditional industry if the product opportunity is exciting. You don't need to know anything about plywood. But you should be curious enough to understand the customers you're building for. You care about shipping products, learning quickly and continuously improving them. Tech We're currently evaluating the technology stack together. The right architecture is more important than a particular framework. Location Lahti / hybrid The role is based primarily in Lahti. We work with a flexible hybrid model, and part of the work can be done remotely, for example from the Helsinki metropolitan area or elsewhere in Finland. Compensation We're an early-stage startup. We offer: Fair salary. Meaningful equity participation. The opportunity to become the company's long-term CTO. The chance to build a global software company from the very beginning. How to apply Please send your CV and a short note explaining why you're interested in the role to panu@plywoodthisweek.com by 20 September. We review applications on a rolling basis and may start interviews before the application deadline, so we encourage you to apply early.
