I’m supporting an early‑stage consumer tech startup that’s already seeing strong traction in their sports focus application they have developed. They have a live product, 35,000+ active users and have clear momentum heading from pre‑seed toward seed funding.
They are looking for a Founding Engineer to take the reigns of their application and everything tech within the business.
This is a chance to join as the first permanent technical hire, working directly with the two founders. The initial prototype has been built with a fractional CTO and an agency, your role is to take full ownership of the codebase, shape the technical direction, and build the product properly for scale.
Over time, this role naturally evolves into a CTO‑level position, including hiring and leading the engineering team.
Why this is interesting
- True ownership and autonomy + solid equity in the business
- Lead all technical decisions end‑to‑end
- Step into a founding‑level role and grow with the company
- Real product, real users, real growth
- Fully remote role
What you’ll be doing
- Taking over and evolving the existing app
- Improving architecture, scalability, and reliability
- Working closely with the founders on product and strategy
- Laying foundations for the future engineering team
Tech stack

- Node.js
