Founding Engineer

Cleenki, building the future of home cleaning

Cleenki is an AI-native marketplace for home cleaning, based in Stockholm, Sweden. We already have a working business with over 100 paying recurring customers and steady growth, and now we are looking for the first technical person to build the product and the platform underneath it with us.

This is not an idea on paper. The business is live, customers are paying, and the foundation is proven. What we need now is someone to take ownership of the technology and build it with us from the ground up.

About Cleenki

We are fixing a broken industry. Traditional cleaning companies pay cleaners poorly and treat them as disposable, which leads to constant churn and unreliable service for customers. Cleenki flips this: our cleaners work for themselves, get fair pay and recurring income, and genuinely care about their customers. Happy cleaners create happy customers, and that is our edge.

Our long-term vision is to build the AI-native operating system that any cleaner or small cleaning company can run their entire business on. We start in Stockholm, then expand across Sweden, the Nordics, and beyond.

The role

You will be the founding engineer and own the technical side of Cleenki from the ground up. In the first months, you will focus on:

• Building out our scheduling system

• Integrating payments

• Building a dedicated interface for cleaners

Our stack is React Native (mobile) and Node.js/Express (backend).

How we work together

I handle growth, customers, cleaners, operations, and fundraising. You build. We complement each other, and together we turn a proven business into a category-defining platform.

What we offer

• Significant founding equity (negotiable based on commitment and experience), with a vesting and cliff period

• The chance to build something with genuine traction and a clear mission from day one

• Full ownership of the technical side of a live, growing business

Honest expectations

Cleenki is bootstrapped today, so this is a part-time, equity-only role until we raise our first round of funding, at which point it becomes a full-time, compensated position. You will need to be based in Sweden, and the role is remote.

Who you are

• A strong builder who can take ownership and ship

• Comfortable working independently in an early-stage, fast-moving environment

• Genuinely excited about the mission, not just the tech

• Based in Sweden
