First Engineer — SAGA

We’re building a new product team at SAGA with a clear ambition: use modern, AI-native tools to build the technology that will power the next generation of schools. No legacy systems, no slow layers — just a small senior team designing and building from the ground up. SAGA founders are Kasper Hulthin and Christian Holm from Peakon and Podio.

The job

We’re building a new product team at SAGA with a clear ambition: use modern, AI-native tools to build the technology that will power the next generation of schools. No legacy systems, no slow layers — just a small senior team designing and building from the ground up.

We’re looking for a full-stack / frontend-focused engineer who wants to be part of the early decisions, work closely with experienced founders, and help shape a product with real-world impact.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys responsibility, builds fast, thinks independently, and wants to grow by working alongside people who have done this before. The Role

As one of the first engineers, you will: ● Build the first real version of SAGA’s platform with the founding team ● Shape early architecture, frontend tech stack, and development practices ● Work closely with product to turn prototypes into polished features ● Develop tools that support teachers and students in everyday work ● Use cutting-edge frameworks and AI-assisted development as part of the core process It’s a role for someone who likes creating structure where none exists yet — someone who sees early chaos as an advantage, not a problem.

Requirements

Who We’re Looking For

You might be a good fit if you:

● Enjoy building new products more than maintaining old ones ● Are strongest on the frontend but comfortable across the stack ● Like autonomy and are comfortable figuring things out as you go ● Care about clarity, usability and good craftmanship ● Want to be close to product decisions and influence direction ● Are curious about using AI to speed up development and improve workflows ● Thrive in small teams where speed and ownership matter We’re less concerned about exact tech experience and more interested in how you think, build and learn.

Details

The Team

You’ll work directly with: ● Christian Holm (Non-Executive Architect/CTO) ● Simon Hjære Hansen (Product Lead, ex-Tonsser founder) ● Kasper Hulthin (CEO, serial founder) It’s a tight, experienced group — and the engineering role is central, not peripheral. Practical Notes ● Full-time role ● On-site most days (Frederiksberg, Copenhagen) ● Start: flexible ● Stack: To be finalized, bust most likely Typescript, React, Vercel, Supabase, Trigger.dev
