Build /tempo with us

About the job

Our first client went from 6 tools to 1 app. Now we're looking for someone to help us bring that to many more businesses.

What you'll do

• Find and reach out to small business owners, starting with tuition centres
• Sit down with them, understand how they run things, and show them what's possible
• Shape the solution with our team. Every app is custom, so you're part salesperson, part problem-solver
• Close the deal, then hand the client over to our team for the build

What you'll earn

• A percentage of every build you close, and your rate rises the more you close in a month
• The more you sell, the sooner you move to a part-time salary plus commission
• Your salary is then reviewed regularly and grows with the company. As we grow, longer contracts follow
• We'll walk you through the exact numbers when we talk

The deal

Your own hours, hybrid in Singapore, no quotas. We find around 8 hours a week works well, ideally with some weekday mornings or evenings free for meetings. Stop anytime with 2 weeks' notice.

You'll be great at this if you

• Are driven and self-starting
• Enjoy talking to people, especially business owners who aren't techy
• Can explain things simply, without jargon
• Are curious about how businesses actually work
• Are comfortable with commission-only pay at the start, and motivated by building something

Nice to have

• You know people who own small businesses, especially tuition centres
• You speak Mandarin or a dialect. Many owners will appreciate it
• Some sales, business development or consulting experience. Not required, we'll train you

About the job

We started in Singapore, but small businesses everywhere lose their evenings to the same admin. We're looking for someone to bring /tempo to their own country, as our founding person on the ground there.

What you'll do

• Find and reach out to small business owners in your country, starting with one type you know well
• Sit down with them, understand how they run things, and show them what's possible
• Shape the solution with our team. Every app is custom, so you're part salesperson, part problem-solver
• Close the deal, then hand the client over to our team for the build
• Help us learn what works in your market, so /tempo grows there with you

What you'll earn

• A percentage of every build you close, and your rate rises the more you close in a month
• The more you sell, the sooner you move to a part-time salary plus commission
• First pick as we open up your country, and a path to leading /tempo there as it grows
• We'll walk you through the exact numbers when we talk

The deal

Your own hours, fully remote, from wherever you are, no quotas. Stop anytime with 2 weeks' notice.

You'll be great at this if you

• Are driven and self-starting, and excited to build /tempo in your market from zero
• Enjoy talking to people, especially business owners who aren't techy
• Can explain things simply, without jargon
• Know your local market and the businesses in it
• Are comfortable with commission-only pay at the start, and motivated by building something

Nice to have

• You know people who own small businesses in your country
• You speak the local language, and English for working with our team
• Some sales, business development or consulting experience. Not required, we'll train you

About the job

Every /tempo app is custom. One week it's a tuition centre's attendance and invoices, the next it's a café's orders and stock. As we sign more clients, we need more hands to build them, and we'd love yours.

What you'll do

• Build features for client apps, from a clear brief we've agreed with the client
• Connect the tools businesses already use, like WhatsApp, Xero and Google Sheets
• Add AI where it helps, like answering customer questions from a business's FAQs
• Work closely with our team: we review each other's work and ship small, often

What you'll earn

• Paid per project, agreed upfront before you start
• Steady work as we grow. Freelancers who do great work get first pick of new projects
• A path to a longer contract as the team grows

The deal

Your own hours, mostly remote, with the occasional meet-up in Singapore. Take on as much or as little as suits you.

You'll be great at this if you

• 2+ years of experience with Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript
• Have built and shipped real web applications (either frontend, backend, or full stack)
• Are comfortable working with APIs and connecting different tools
• Can turn a messy, real-world process into simple software
• Keep people updated and write clearly

Nice to have

• Experience with AWS, the WhatsApp Business API, Xero or payments
• Experience building with AI models, like Claude or OpenAI
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL
• You speak Mandarin or a dialect

About the job

Every /tempo project starts with a free prototype. A business owner tells us how their day really runs: the spreadsheets, the WhatsApp groups, the things they do by hand. A few days later, they see it working as one simple app. That's the moment they say "yes, that's it". We'd love you to be the one who builds it.

What you'll do

• Sit with business owners, in person or on a call, and map how their business really runs
• Turn what you learn into a working prototype in days, not weeks
• Show it to the owner, take their feedback and improve it quickly
• Use AI coding tools like Claude Code to build fast
• Hand a clear brief to our build team once the client says yes

What you'll earn

• A fixed fee for every prototype, agreed upfront before you start
• A bonus when a prototype you built turns into a signed client
• First pick of new prototypes as we grow
• A path to a full-time role as the team grows

The deal

Your own hours. You'll meet some clients in person around Singapore and build the rest from wherever you like. Take on as much or as little as suits you.

You'll be great at this if you

• Have built and shipped real web apps in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript (side projects count)
• Like building fast: rough first, polished later
• Enjoy talking to business owners, ask good questions and explain things without jargon
• Can turn a messy, real-world process into simple software
• Keep people updated and write clearly

Nice to have

• An eye for design, or experience with Figma
• Experience with the WhatsApp Business API, Xero, Google Sheets or payments
• Experience building with AI models, like Claude or OpenAI
• You speak Mandarin or a dialect

We're a small team, and we'll grow. If you think you could help us get /tempo to more businesses, whether that's design, marketing, operations or something we haven't thought of, we'd like to hear from you.
