Back-end Developer / Co-Founder

Jul 15, 2025

A chance to make a real impact with a Dragon backed start-up. 

This is initially an equity compensated role only, part-time, remote to fit with your existing commitments. 

Our product is operational with our first soft users, we are prepping for our first major users in Q3 2025.

 

What have we built?

Inclusive is a new software platform in the ATS / Hiring space. Our mission is to make ATS software revenue generative for employers (the current average cost is c.$20K a year) and we do this by aggregating and making searchable candidate data from external recruiters - think of Rightmove or Zillow, but for Hiring not Housing. We take a transaction % rather than solely generating revenue from subscription, like all of our competitors.

It's a huge market (c.$500B/year) and we are the first people straddling the ATS & Hiring markets with our unique platform. Our product is functional and we have our first soft users after a huge development effort.  You can read more about our employer product at inclusive.io and our recruiter product at SBOJ.com

Jason Corsello from Acadian Ventures, the major venture capital company in HR technology, recently said this; ‘’ATS is a big market that needs innovation. We have been disrupting around the edges, not the core and I wish I knew why. To disrupt ATS and Recruiting takes capital out of the gate, instead of a $3M seed round you need to maybe raise $20M to build everything fast enough.’’

We have bootstrapped to this point with the addition of an investment from our Dragon investor - we now seek a talented developer to become an integral part of the team and help us to scale.

What do we need? 

Someone who is looking to become an integral part of our founding team to help develop what could be a market defining product. 

This role would suit a talented back-end developer/engineer looking to branch out and become a co-founder, gaining the ability to shape their future career. We see this as a long-term appointment, a real opportunity to become a core member of our small team.  We value skill, ambition and work ethic more than years' expertise.  

We have sacrificed a great deal to finally get to this point and want you to come along with us at this key juncture. 

Our tech. stack is node.js & angular / MongoDB database & Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ messaging & Redis cache. 

This is a unique opportunity to become a core member of our small team.  We value skill, ambition and work ethic more than years' expertise.  We have sacrificed a great deal to finally get to this point and offer the chance for you to come along with us for what could be a thrilling ride.

We are based just outside London in Tunbridge Wells, Kent but are open to remote working from anywhere - thank you for reading this far and we look forward to hearing from you!
