Co-Founder / Tech Partner (AI & Open Source) from Estonia

Wanted a Technical Co-Founder (AI / Software / Platform Architecture) from Estonia for the development of an open-source-based AI and data infrastructure company

What it's about

Not just another tool – but a new system logic for data, processes and AI.

The market currently has a clear gap:

- CO₂ logic, ESG and operational data are usually considered in isolation.

- One is missing Integrated infrastructure for traceability and process intelligence

Core Idea

A modular, open-source system with three levels:

1. Core-System

Data and process logic

Structured documentation and linking systems

Digital twin of organizations

2. Integration layer

Integration of ERP systems

Adapter instead of system replacement

3. Application layer

ESG / CO₂ / Governance / Projects

Industry and organizational solutions

Tasks

Co-design and build the overall technical architecture (core system, integrations, application layer)

Develop and integrate AI components (LLMs, semantic search, analytics)

Design and implement a modular, container-based platform (Docker, API-first approach)

Connect existing systems (e.g. ERP, data sources) via adapter logic

Contribute to product strategy and technical roadmap

Select and establish a sustainable open-source technology stack

Actively support the development of a strong network within the Estonian startup ecosystem (tech community, partners, programs)

Collaborate with funding bodies, programs, and relevant stakeholders in Estonia

Requirements

Experience in software development (ideally Python / backend / APIs)

Knowledge of AI / machine learning / LLM integration

Experience with container technologies and system architecture

Strong understanding of data structures, data models, and distributed systems

Interest in open-source ecosystems and privacy-focused solutions

Ability to structure and implement technical concepts independently

Entrepreneurial mindset and interest in a co-founder role

Strong networking mindset – ideally with exposure to startup ecosystems (experience in Estonia is a plus)

Benefits

Co-founder equity with long-term perspective

Opportunity to build a proprietary product with a clear IP strategy

Work on foundational infrastructure (not just feature development)

High degree of freedom in technology, architecture, and product decisions

Access to structured funding programs (Estonia / EU)

Direct access to the Estonian startup ecosystem and opportunity to build a strong network

Opportunity to shape key partnerships and structures from an early stage

Focus on sustainable, privacy-centric, and future-proof systems

Vision

Building a scalable ecosystem for:

ESG & CO₂ transparency

Digitale Governance & Controlling

Knowledge and decision-making platforms

Cooperatives & Network Models

Interest?
