Founding Engineer

We're working with a stat up who are building something BIG - a platform already used by thousands, with demand that's outpacing thier tech. They need a Founding Engineer / Co-Founder - someone who wants to build, own, and scale from the ground up.

This is a a build it, break it, fix it, own it kind of role. If you're after comfort and safety nets, this isn't it!

But if you want a shot at building something category-defining, under a co-founder style partnership, then this one could be for you!

Why this matters:

• Thousands of users and paying customers already - without a tech lead.
• £250k revenue projected this year. With the right engineer they can 10X.
• Data is stronger than competitors. API demand is piling up.

What you'll be doing:

• Scale the API so thousands of people can hammer it at once without it breaking.
• Rebuild and scale backend & infrastructure
• Own technical direction end-to-end.
• Work side by side with the CEO on roadmap, demos, and sales.

What you need to bring:

• Backend/API experience at scale.
• Database & infrastructure background (Postgres, Elasticsearch, scraping).
• Front end (React/Next.js) ideal.
• Startup grit, passion & exciting to build something special!

What's in it for you:

• 20%+ vested equity as milestones are hit.
• A view to be a real co-founder where you shape the company as much as the product.

This will be messy, fast, and intense role - but it could also be the best bet you ever take on yourself!
