I'm looking for a co-founding back-end engineer to lead the development of our platform’s core infrastructure—APIs, databases, authentication, and deployment. This is an equity-only role in a pre-funding startup.

You’ll be building from scratch and owning key architectural decisions. If you want to take charge technically and be part of a lean team solving real problems—this is for you.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and develop scalable back-end systems (APIs, databases, integrations).
• Collaborate with front-end and product teams to define feature logic and data flows.
• Implement secure user authentication and authorization flows.
• Set up and manage cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or similar).
• Optimize performance, monitoring, and reliability.

Who You Are:

• Strong experience with Node.js, Python (Django/FastAPI), or similar frameworks.
• Solid understanding of RESTful APIs, SQL/NoSQL databases, and system design.
• Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort with equity-based work.
• Committed, collaborative, and passionate about building.

If you want to help build the engine behind a product that could scale and impact an entire industry—reach out via message or email at [e-mail].
