Join the Ground Floor of a Big Idea

sparQ is a new AI-powered productivity suite for small businesses-think "simpler than Zoho, smarter than Google." We're building an all-in-one business platform to help small teams do big things. We're currently looking for a motivated, entry-level Python developer to join us at the earliest stage.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the foundation of a commercial SaaS product, with mentorship and real ownership of your work.

  • Work with SQLite, PostgreSQL, Docker, and HTMX for performance-focused development

  • Participate in a GitHub-driven open-source project and follow clean coding and documentation practices

  • Collaborate with a small local team and work in an office downtown Minneapolis

  • Learn and grow fast as you contribute to real-world SaaS architecture


What You Should Bring

  • Basic experience with Python (personal, academic, or internship projects count)

  • Familiarity with SQL databases (especially PostgreSQL), REST APIs, and CLI tools

  • Passion for clean, readable code and a willingness to learn real-world dev workflows (GitHub, issue tracking, testing)

  • Curiosity about open-source, startups, or SaaS development

  • Ability to work independently and deliver on tasks with minimal handholding

  • Must be located in the Twin Cities metro and available for in-person collaboration


Bonus (but not required)

  • Experience with Docker, Flask/FastAPI, or HTMX

  • Familiarity with GitHub and open-source contribution

  • Interest in DevOps, cloud deployment (DigitalOcean, Linode)

  • Enthusiasm for AI and automation tools


What We Offer

  • $25/hr based on experience

  • Direct mentorship from a technical founder with startup experience

  • Opportunity to become a core contributor to a global SaaS platform


How to Apply

Must submit:

  1. Your resume

  2. A brief note about your experience and interest in working on sparQ

  3. GitHub profile or links to any projects you've worked on
