Job description
The Role: Technical Co-Founder / CTO
We're looking for a true technical co-founder to architect and build the first version of the product alongside the founder.
This is a role built for someone who wants to own the technical direction end-to-end: from first shipped features to scalable systems, from MVP decisions to long-term architecture. You'll be building the core product hand in hand as a partnership with the founder.
What You'll Build and Own
- Own the technical vision and overall system architecture
- Build the V1 platform, including authentication, request flows, partner integrations, and internal tools.
- Develop systems designed to compound data and enable predictive intelligence over time.
- Establish the engineering culture, development practices, and technical hiring standards.
- Design infrastructure that can evolve to support high-touch workflows while unifying data across multiple domains.
- Tech stack and infrastructure decisions
- Serve as the technical leader for investors, advisors, and strategic partners.
- How the product evolves from MVP * product-market fit * scale
Requirements
- A builder with a founder mindset - comfortable with ambiguity and speed
- Strong full-stack or backend-leaning engineer who has shipped real products
- Someone who enjoys simplifying messy, real-world problems into software
- Experience in marketplaces, platforms, fintech, logistics, or consumer products is a plus
- Startup experience (Pre-Seed * Series A) is helpful but not required
Luxury experience is not required, curiosity and execution matter more.
Benefits & conditions
- Meaningful founding equity, vested against clear milestones. Full-time salary, post-investment.
- Full autonomy over technical decisions
- A real seat at the table shaping product and company direction
- The chance to build a defensible system in a market that has money, complexity, and no modern infrastructure
Why This Is Interesting
This is a large, inefficient market with high willingness to pay and very little software leverage. If done right, this becomes infrastructure for every HNWI and UHNWI, not just a product. This is the ground floor of something that can scale globally with strong network effects, brand reinforcement, and high-value client relationships.
If you're a technical founder who wants to build something real, narrow at first, and genuinely hard to replicate, this is for you.
