Technical Co-Founder (Equity-Based)
Safado UK Ltd is building Safado, an 18+ social/dating app focused on profiles, chat, map discovery, subscriptions, reporting tools, blocking, real-time user activity, and future social gaming features.
We are looking for a serious, honest, reliable, and technically strong person to join the project as a Technical Co-Founder or long-term Senior Technical Partner. This is not a normal short-term developer job. We are looking for someone who understands the vision of the company and wants to help build Safado properly for the long term.
This role may be suitable for someone interested in an equity-based structure or company percentage, to be discussed depending on experience, commitment, technical ability, and the value brought to the project.
Responsibilities
Lead or support the technical direction of the Safado mobile app and backend.
Review the existing codebase and identify bugs, performance issues, security risks, and architecture problems.
Work with the current development team and help improve delivery, structure, quality, and accountability.
Improve app performance, scalability, privacy, security, and reliability.
Support features such as user profiles, real-time chat, map view, subscriptions, push notifications, reports, blocking, moderation tools, and in-app social/gaming features.
Help plan the technical roadmap and make sure the app is built in a scalable and professional way.
Provide clear updates, explain technical decisions, and show proof of completed work through builds, screenshots, videos, Git commits, or testing reports.
Qualifications
Strong experience with mobile app development, preferably Flutter.
Experience with backend APIs, Firebase/Firestore, real-time features, push notifications, and app performance optimization.
Experience with social apps, dating apps, marketplace apps, community platforms, map-based apps, or real-time communication apps is highly preferred.
Understanding of privacy, user safety, moderation, data protection, authentication, and secure app architecture.
Ability to work with an existing codebase without breaking what already works.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to investigate technical issues independently.
Clear communication, honesty, reliability, and commitment are essential.
Experience with iOS and Android app store deployment, in-app purchases, subscriptions, and production builds is a strong advantage.
Important
We are not looking for someone who only wants quick payment for small tasks. We are looking for the right technical person who can grow with the company, understand the product, and help Safado become a serious, scalable, and successful platform.
Best candidates will be practical, honest, organized, technically experienced, and able to think like a builder, not only like a coder.
