Technical Co-founder / Founding Engineer

3 days ago Be among the first 25 applicants

Join the Ground Floor of a Potential Industry Disruptor.

I'm the solo founder of an early-stage, stealth startup building the next-generation online marketplace / network for local services.

We've already achieved strong early traction and are in discussions with interested investors.

This is an opportunity to join as a true partner and technical leader from the very beginning — helping shape not just the product, but the company itself.

Your Role

Own the Tech Stack : Lead architecture, design, and hands-on development of our web app from the ground up.

Build the MVP : Rapidly develop a scalable, high-quality MVP that validates our concept and supports early user growth.

Strategic Partner : Work closely with me on product direction, roadmap, and go-to-market strategy.

Fundraising & Scale : Help shape our technical story for investors and prepare for our first engineering hires post-funding.

The Offer

Equity-Only (Pre-Funding) : Receive a meaningful co-founder-level equity stake, reflecting your ownership and commitment at this stage.

Commitment : Minimum of ~10 focused hours per week initially, with flexibility to ramp up as we approach funding.

Who You Are

Proven experience building and shipping full-stack web apps (ideally React, Next.js, Node, or similar modern stack).

Strong architectural instincts and ability to balance MVP speed with scalability.

Entrepreneurial mindset — resourceful, ambitious, and comfortable in fast-moving, undefined environments.

Vision-driven — you think beyond code and understand how technology drives business outcomes.

Why This Matters

We're aiming to modernize a huge, fragmented market that's been stuck in the past for too long.

The opportunity here is massive — and we're already seeing validation from both users and investors.

If you've ever wanted to build something from zero, this is your shot.

Let's talk.
