earwig

earwig is a purpose-driven tech startup helping tradespeople get a better deal at work. Harrison is the Founder and Product Manager, Ben is the UX Designer, and we’re looking to complete the team with a Full-stack Developer. We want to give to tradespeople the tech-enabled benefits knowledge workers take for granted. We’re currently validating propositions that meet our mission statement of equipping tradespeople to win at work, including: - Crowdsourced sentiment data to increase transparency and make choosing bad jobs less likely. - Dynamically allocated jobs to help tradespeople avoid gaps in their earnings. - A simple, accessible drag-and-drop CV-builder so tradespeople can get the jobs they want. As the company's first developer, you will be instrumental in ensuring what we build is technically feasible, and solves the problems we want to solve. You will also help to create our company culture. We’ve raised a pre-seed round of £420k, and won pilots with major contractors Skanska and Willmott Dixon. We’re backed by Europe’s leading tech-for-good VCs including Bethnal Green Ventures and the Resolution Foundation. Tradespeople are facing big problems in need of solutions, yet few startups seem interested. This is a rare opportunity to join a product team – optimised for speed and learning – in an industry currently underserved by tech-for-good.
