[Hiring] Founding Engineer @Memora

Role Description

This is a remote position.

We're hiring a Founding Engineer to step into one of the broadest roles on the team: A hands-on IC role with real product and cultural ownership.

Memora is growing rapidly. We need an awesome engineer in the team who can lead from all angles of the technical stack:

• IaC end-to-end (Terraform, AWS, deploys, observability)
• Data ingestion pipelines (large exports, QGIS, PostGIS, multi-tenant setups)
• Shipping core product features across NestJS, React, and React Native (Expo) mobile apps
• Being a thoughtful, methodical technical voice in a small team where every engineer has outsized influence

The What (real examples from what we shipped in the last 30 days):

• Attribute-based filter systems across PostGIS, NestJS APIs, React, and PMTiles-backed map tiles, so our clients can visualize by contracts, preservation status to even the flower season.
• Data import pipelines that convert raw PDF cemetery maps into geo-referenced GeoPackages in QGIS, then ingesting into PostGIS. Owning the end-to-end onboarding for new clientele.
• Terraform: multi-AZ RDS, ECS Fargate autoscaling, CI workflows, AI guardrails, WAF, SNS, and much more.
• AI: Designing, evaluating and building harnesses where prompts for summaries and activity can be elegantly delivered to communities, tuning guardrails.
• Production foundations such as RLS (multi-tenancy), idempotency keys + optimistic locking… so on.

Qualifications

• Typically 8+ years building production software, including at least one role at a growth startup or as a founding/early engineer with sizeable revenue
• Full-stack: comfortable shipping in TypeScript across backend (Node/NestJS or similar) and React-based frontends
• Hands-on cloud infrastructure experience: you've owned a Terraform stack on AWS, not just consumed one
• Strong relational database fundamentals: you've designed schemas, optimized queries, run migrations against large live datasets
• Comfortable operating in a small team without a clear playbook: you can scope your own work, write your own docs, and triage your own bugs

Requirements

• Strongly preferred: React Native / Expo experience shipping to App Store + Play Store
• PostGIS or any production geospatial work
• Experience with row-level security, multi-tenancy patterns, or compliance-sensitive data (we're GDPR + public-sector)
• Production AI/LLM work prompt design, evals, guardrails
• B2B/B2G SaaS experience: sales cycles, real customer relationships, public-sector quirks

Benefits

• Senior IC salary (currency calibrated to location)
• Meaningful founding-engineer equity grant: we're early enough that this matters and we want you for the full journey
• Annual leave + Danish-equivalent benefits
• Quarterly offsites around the world

Company Description

At Memora, we're digitizing one of the oldest and most overlooked categories on earth: the cemetery. Most still run on paper maps, spreadsheets, and institutional memory. We are replacing this with an ecosystem for everyone who touches a cemetery: the leadership running it, the field teams maintaining it, the families visiting it, and the local partners serving them.

We're backed by leading investors and guided by a team of experienced founders and engineers from well-known tech names reimagining a category long overdue change. We're deliberately lean, and will keep it that way.
