Founding Engineer / Technical Co-Founder

Join the ground floor of a potential industry disruptor.

I'm the solo founder of an early-stage startup building the next-generation online marketplace and network for local services. We've already gained
strong early traction
, with a growing waitlist and i
nterest from investors
.

This is a rare opportunity to join at the true ground floor — as a technical leader, helping shape not just the product, but the company itself.

Your Role


•
Own the tech stack:
Architect, design, and build our web platform end-to-end.


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


•
Be a strategic partner:
Work closely with me on product direction, technical roadmap, and go-to-market strategy.


•
Fundraising & scale:
Help shape our technical story for investors and prepare for future engineering hires post-funding.

The Offer


•
Equity:
Meaningful co-founder-level equity stake, reflecting your ownership and commitment at this stage.


•
Cash bonus:
Provided upon reaching key milestones, such as MVP completion and launch.


•
Commitment:
Around 10 hours per week initially, with flexibility to ramp up as we approach funding and growth.


•
Future compensation:
A full-time salary will be offered post-funding, alongside continued equity upside as a core team member.

Who You Are


• Experienced in building and shipping full-stack web apps (ideally React, , Node, or a 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 tackling a massive, fragmented industry that's been left behind by innovation. The opportunity here is huge — and early traction is already validating our direction.

If you've ever wanted to build something from zero, shape its future, and own a real piece of the upside — this is your chance.

Let's talk.
