Teknisk Co-founder

Live interview intelligence for recruiters. Built by a recruiter. Now looking for the person to build it with.

The short version.
Taplo is a pre-launch startup building the tool I always wanted as a recruiter. I've built the concept, the positioning, the design, and I bring the domain. I'm looking for a technical co-founder to own the engineering and build it with me. Equity, real ownership, ground floor.

Why this exists.
Recruiting is obsessed with finding new people. Every tool helps you source, screen, and process the next candidate. Almost nothing helps with the gold you already have, the people you've already interviewed. The best fit for the role you're working is often someone you spoke to months ago and forgot, and while you start from scratch, a competitor places them. Taplo is the memory. It sits in your interviews, captures the conversation live against what the role actually needs, and turns every interview into a searchable record of what the candidate said, with their consent. Next role, you ask, and the person you'd have forgotten comes back.

What Taplo is today.
A botless desktop app that runs alongside a recruiter's interviews. No bot joins the call. It follows the conversation against the role's criteria in real time, writes the structured summary the moment you hang up, and keeps everything searchable afterward. Pre-launch, with a waitlist forming and a first customer in reach.

What you'd own.
You'd be the technical half of the company, not an employee. That means the desktop app, including real-time audio capture, transcription, and the live interface. The AI layer, LLM integration for structuring, coverage, and search. The browser extension and meeting detection. The data and search layer that makes the candidate memory work. And GDPR-grade data handling, which is core to how we win, not an afterthought.

Who you are.
A strong product engineer who can build zero to one and ship. You've built desktop apps (Electron, Tauri, or native) and browser extensions. You're comfortable with real-time audio, transcription pipelines, and LLM integration. You care about clean, private, well-handled data. And you're startup-ready, good with ambiguity, ownership, and the reality of pre-revenue.

A real merit: you've built a notetaker, meeting assistant, or real-time transcription product before. That's close to the heart of what Taplo does.

Bonus: interest in recruiting or HR tech, based in or able to work Sweden and EU hours.

What you get.
Co-founder equity and title, a genuine partnership, with the split as an open and honest conversation. Real ownership of the product and the company from day one. A founder who already owns the domain, the customers, and the go-to-market, so you can focus on building the right thing. And the chance to shape a category, not maintain someone else's.

The honest part.
This is early. Pre-launch, pre-revenue, equity rather than salary right now. If you want a safe salaried role, this isn't it. If you want to own half of something you believe in, and build it with someone who already has the domain and the customers, let's talk.
