A leading start-up in the UK is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer for an equity-only role who will manage server-side code and APIs of mobile applications. This remote, part-time position involves ensuring high-quality backend processes and offers the chance to gain equity and be part of the founding team, transitioning to a paid role once funding is secured.
Senior Backend Engineer (Equity only)
As a Senior/Lead Backend Engineer, your responsibility will be to manage the server-side code and APIs of our mobile applications. You'll be involved in the entire product development lifecycle, from design to deployment and maintenance of new and existing features. The quality and stability of our mobile applications will depend heavily on your work, as you'll be writing reusable and maintainable code and performing UI tests to optimise performance. You'll also work closely with our front-end development team to ensure system consistency and a great user experience. Ultimately, you'll be the driving force behind all back-end activities. We understand your time is valuable, which is why we only require a few hours a day for the duration of the project, and the role is entirely remote. In exchange for your expertise and commitment, you'll receive vested equity in the start-up, along with a range of vested benefits. The app will launch in 2024, and this part-time equity-only role will transition into a paid full-time role after the launch.
This is a pre-seed, equity-only role, offering 0.5% equity as part of the founding team. There is currently no salary until seed funding is secured, at which point competitive compensation will be introduced. This role is ideal for someone seeking long-term ownership and impact in an early-stage, purpose-driven venture.
