App developer / Engineer (co-founder)

Fork Ranger's mission to help millions of people switch to a healthy and sustainable diet with a gamified recipe app.

I’m looking for a mobile app developer to join me as co-founder. The most important part is that you can build an app and are passionate about the mission.

More information can be found here.

1) Passionate about the mission
You don’t need to be a vegetarian but you should join for the right reasons: working on a solution for climate change.

2) Skills to build an awesome app
I’m looking for someone who has coding experience to build an app and quickly learn on the go. The programming language or experience matters less than your ability to learn fast and get things done quickly.

With ‘awesome app’ I mean something that users will love. That implies both a good technical performance as well as being user-friendly. You don’t need to be a designer (that’s my job), but a passion for great UX is important.

3) Ambition of a co-founder
I’m looking for a teammate to join me on this wild adventure. Startup life is amazing but it’s not easy. Being a co-founder means that you take initiative, have your own vision for the product, and take ownership for more than just the code you write. We’re in this together.

What’s in it for you?

I’ve been working on Fork Ranger for two years and made some good progress. I’m willing to share ‘my baby’ with the right person so you get to be the owner of the company as well. If you’re looking for the thrill of startups and want to improve the world, this might be a good opportunity to step into something promising.

In short, this is what I can offer:

• The purpose of building something great for humanity
• The joy and friendship of working in an ambitious team
• Ownership in a startup that has the market opportunity to get very big
• The reward of being your own boss and creating a great company from the ground up
• A chance to make more impact than Elon Musk (changing diets can save a lot more CO2 than electric cars)

What is a bad fit?
There are many good reasons not to join as co-founder.

• Prefer to work alone
• Prefer not to mix up professional and personal life
• Looking for a stable job and income
• Mainly interested in technology or startups and not the mission
• Interested to code but not deal with user problems

What is a good fit?

• Want to make the world a better place
• Excited to form a long-term ‘professional friendship’
• Taking initiative and bringing in own ideas
• Love for programming
• Desire to produce high-quality work, aiming for the best
• Looking for the thrilling experience of startup life

How to get in touch

Send an email to [email protected] and tell me something about these four points. You can write in English or Dutch. If you have any questions, please let me know.

1. Passion for the mission: why would you like to join? What excites you most about this project? How have you been trying to make a difference so far?
2. Skills to build an app: what is your experience? What have you been working on? (please mention details like programming language)
3. Ambition as a co-founder: why are you interested to become a co-founder? What makes you excited about startup life?
4. Some personal things: where do you live? What do you enjoy and what do you dislike?

Don’t expect a reply if you simply send in your CV. I want to know who you are and if you share the same vision and have the right skillset for it.

I will not reply to any app proposals from agencies or freelancers, I’m looking for a co-founder.

May the forks be with you!
