Kupp Management Team

Introduction

Unique opportunity to apply as a team of 2-4 people!

Join us at Alura.io, a thriving Norwegian tech scale-up reshaping the world of e-commerce. Our journey began three years ago here at BI, where our two co-founders, still students then, laid the foundation for what is now a global platform supporting over 240,000 users and 80,000 unique Etsy stores. Today, our diverse team of 10 spans the globe, and we're inviting you to be the fourth member of our Oslo HQ team.

We're proud of our roots as a bootstrapped, profitable, and global company. Now, as we shift from startup to scale-up, it's the perfect time for you to come aboard. You'll be joining us at a dynamic moment – all the groundwork is laid, and we're gearing up for an exciting growth phase!

As an intern with us, you won't just be watching from the sidelines. You’ll dive head-first into real projects creating real value. We’re looking for a team who will take on the job as the management team for one of our projects: https://DineKupp.no.

Are you an eager, ambitious, and highly effective team who has worked together before and want to test yourself as a cofounding team for a product that already has traction? Do you want your ideas, hard work, and dedication to matter more than your experience level? If you're nodding 'yes,' then read on, we're looking for you!
