Technical Co-Founder (m/f/d)

At deliberAIde, we believe in the power of technology to transform the democratic process. Our mission is to bridge the gap between citizens and their governments, making participatory dialogue more inclusive, accessible, and impactful.

With our pioneering use of advanced AI, we’re not just reimagining democracy—we’re building the tools that will help it thrive in the digital age. We’re a passionate and diverse team of seven committed to using technology for social good, and we’re looking for someone who shares that vision to join us as a technical co-founder.

Together, we can make a difference in how societies come together to make collective decisions.

Why we need you

Democracy is at a crossroads, and the way forward depends on innovative solutions that can enhance citizen engagement and make governments more responsive.
