Summary
What we do
All over the world, hundreds of millions of people start every single day with a dull, boring smartphone alarm. Rooster’s mission is to transform the wake up experience, into something people love and look forward to. We believe the world would be incredibly different if everyone woke up in their element. Imagine the positive impact the collective could have.
We aim to achieve this at first, with the Rooster app that makes people excited to hear their alarm in the morning. Down the line Rooster will get involved with morning activities, voice-first technologies, wireless coffee machines (iOT) and more.

Our Culture
Rooster is a brand becoming synonymous with epic mornings and happiness! As founders and employees we try our best to live the brand by being ultra enthusiastic, positive and always backing ourselves to beat impossible odds. Part of living our brand involves doing awesome morning activities like sunrise surfs, runs, coffee, yoga, secret sunrise and more. We are an agile, flexible, goal-orientated startup and our beliefs are as follows:
- Be results, not time driven

Our Engineering Processes
We are still a young company, and are still shaping our engineering processes. The CTO, Josh Perry, has a background in innovative medical technology and bio-inspired robotic engineering, and hence has applied a similar design philosophy as learnt in these fields - with respect to modular designs, the SDLC and testing frameworks. Joining the team would mean playing an active role in shaping such processes.
Our Hiring Process
Our hiring process is dynamic, and will change based on our ability gauge the fit of the applicant with the company. Initially we will consider a CV, academic record, cover letter and at least one reference. Thereafter, successful candidates will be invited for anything between 1-3 interviews and possibly a trial day of working with the team.
