Guardian Angel | United Kingdom (London or Edinburgh are preferred) | Full-time | $45k-$80k + 1-10% equity.
Hi HN, I am the founder of Guardian Angel. We just finished Ignite, one of the UK's leading accelerators. We have also just raised a large pre-seed round and looking to build a passionate tech team. We are a small company, with a massive vision.
After losing my mother in a car accident I was exposed to how the funeral and end of life planning industries have yet to see the digital revolution, we want to change that. If you love solving tough programming challenges and avoiding organizational politics this might be the job for you.
We either looking for: Senior dev looking for 1-2 days a week as acting CTO until we find our feet. Senior dev looking to jump into startup life and focus on this product full time and get us to where we need to be.

For the right candidate, this will evolve into a co-founder position. We have built the base product in Laravel, but the hire can choose the direction.
In an age where technology giants are dramatically changing the entire landscape of our lives, those dealing with death have sat on the sideline. We aim to positively disrupt the industry, making things like life insurance and funeral plans easier to assemble. www.guardianangel.network .
