Full-Stack Developer & Co-Founder — Scientific Computing EdTech Startup (KTH)

Job Description

Help build the platform for democratizing training in scientific computing. At scale!

Provide infrastructure for world’s scientists to learn from top experts, practice instantly in the cloud, and get live coaching on-demand.

About Us

Every year, tens of millions of scientists, engineers, and students worldwide hit the same wall: they need advanced computing skills. But the training is fragmented, unscalable, and often inaccessible. Self-study, workshops, and general online platforms, fail to provide tailored, hands-on support from experts on-demand and at scale. Moreover, setting up a computational environment is often complex and time-consuming.

Modeliqa is here to change that.

Founded on over 20 years of global experience in scientific computing and training, and powered by a worldwide network of top-level contributors, Modeliqa is building the first all-in-one platform where learners can:

• Access high-quality courses from world-leading experts.
• Run hands-on tutorials instantly on pre-configured, integrated cloud/HPC environments — no messy setup. Click-and-go!
• Book on-demand coaching sessions with top researchers for direct, problem-solving guidance.

Why now?

• 88% of learners demand real-time expert coaching 🚀
• 87% say interactive environments are priority #1 🔧
• 100% of surveyed instructors ready to upload content Day 1 🎓
• Learners already spending €400–2000/year on training 💶

This is not a “nice-to-have” — it’s solving a validated, urgent gap in a multi-billion-euro market.

Where are we now?

• Mockup shipped ✔
• Contributors queued with content ✔
• Early adopters on the waitlist ✔
• Backed by KTH Innovation with business + industry network ✔
• Next step: build the MVP — and that’s where you come in 👩‍💻👨‍💻

Modeliqa is supported by KTH Innovation, giving us access to a world-class innovation ecosystem, expert business development support, and a strong network of academic and industry collaborators.

The Role

We’re looking for a technical co-founder to lead development of the Modeliqa MVP and beyond.

Your mission: turn our validated concept into a scalable, global learning platform.

In the first 6-9 months, you’ll take on challenges like designing learner and instructor flows, integrating live mentoring, and setting up interactive HPC environments — all while shaping the tech architecture from scratch.

This is not a “code-to-spec” role — you’ll have the freedom to build and expand a platform that grows from its first users to hundreds, and eventually thousands, worldwide.

What We Offer

At this stage, compensation is equity-based. As a co-founder at Modeliqa, you’ll be setting up the future of a company that is already validated in a critical and underserved niche. The platform will have a real impact on science and has the potential to accelerate breakthroughs across scientific computing — from AI and drug development to novel materials and climate research. The demand is there, engaged users are eager for solutions and instructors ready to provide them.

You’ll have creative and technical autonomy, building the product vision side by side with the CEO, free to experiment, innovate, and make bold architectural choices. The position offers learning and growth opportunities, becoming part of the KTH Innovation ecosystem, and a future path to a substantial salary once funding is secured.
