Job Description & How to Apply Below
Founding Software Engineer

Before you apply, read this. Seriously.  This is an  early-stage startup . That's not a figure of speech: it means there are no established processes, priorities shift week to week, you'll work on problems with no ready-made solution, and your scope will be broad and constantly evolving. It also means everything you build reaches clients within days, you work shoulder to shoulder with the founders, and you get a rare opportunity, to shape a product and a company from the foundations up.

We're looking for someone working as an independent contractor ( Partita IVA ) willing to commit  80% of their time  to the project during the  first 6 months . Not a consultant passing through: a future founding member who wants to build with us.

If that trade-off, fewer certainties today, far more weight and far more ownership tomorrow — excites you, keep reading. If it's not for you, that's perfectly fine.
Stock options are the heart of this offer Let's be clear from the start:  in this role, the most important thing is not the salary, it's the stock options.
You're joining at founding stage, and the terms reflect that. You'll receive a generous stock options package, sized to your experience and granted at the company's  current valuation,  so the value you create turns directly into value you own. Not token grants: real ownership in what we're building together. The salary keeps you comfortable today; the stock options are what can change your life if we get this right.
The contractor fee will be  competitive for an early-stage startup , calibrated to your experience and seniority, enough to do your best work with focus. But the asymmetry is all on the equity, and that's where we want you looking.

What happens after the first 6 months The 80% freelance arrangement is the  mutual get-to-know-each-other phase . After the first 3-6 months, if the fit works on both sides, two paths open up, and you'll get to choose the one that suits you best:
Employment in Dubai, digital-nomad style and tax-free.  A Dubai-based contract with a favorable tax regime, requiring a commitment of  at least 60 days a year in Dubai  and spending  less than 6 months in any single country  (to maintain the status). Maximum geographic freedom coherently with the team, zero taxation, and your center of gravity on one of our hubs.
Permanent contract in Italy.  A contract consistent with a growing early-stage startup, aligned with the company's stage and funding, with terms that grow alongside us.
In both cases: the stock options package remains the central element of the offer.

Verea Most sales intelligence tools fail for the same reason: they ask people to change how they work.  Verea doesn't.
We're building the invisible OS of field sales — a system that captures everything a salesperson already does (voice notes, photos, chat messages, quick updates) and structures it automatically into the backend systems that run the business. No new app to learn. No dashboard to log into. Just Whats App, the way they've always used it.
The technical core is a universal parsing engine that maps any unstructured input to any data schema. That means Verea adapts to the client's CRM — not the other way around. The result is the first complete, real-time picture of commercial reality that most companies have never had.
We're past the idea stage. We have paying clients in active pilots, a fundraising round in progress, and a founding team that moves fast. The vision is larger than field sales: we're building the conversational data layer that enterprise AI will run on. But we're starting where the problem is most acute and the pain is most real.
You'd be joining at the moment of highest leverage — when the work you do this week reaches clients next week.

What You'll Own   Enterprise integrations  — Design and build connectors for CRM/ERP systems (Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Google Workspace, Notion) using Nango or custom solutions.
Auth & data flows  — Manage complex authentication (OAuth2, OpenID Connect, JWT), webhooks, sync strategies, rate limiting, and retry logic.
Async architecture  — Build event-driven systems with workers, queues, and…
