Our client is building a new type of digital product and need a Technical Lead to help bring their vision to life. You'll be responsible for bringing to life entirely new and delightful consumer experiences from scratch. Working with visionary founders who care deeply about the intersection of humor, connection, and technology.

About The Role

We are looking for someone who is comfortable working across the stack, experimenting, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. You should thrive in ambiguity, get excited about building consumer-first experiences from scratch, and have a deep appreciation for both speed and craftsmanship.

In This Role, You Will:

  • Own the Full Stack: Architect, build, and optimize the core platform, from front-end interfaces to back-end services.
  • Work Across Platforms: Develop seamless, intuitive consumer experiences across web and mobile.
  • Prototype & Iterate Quickly: Move fast, test, learn, and refine features that push the product (and the brand) forward.
  • Collaborate with Design & Content Teams: Work closely with product, design, and marketing to translate creative ideas into functional, delightful experiences.
  • Optimize for Performance & Scale: Ensure the tech stack is efficient, scalable, and ready to grow with the business.
  • Stay Curious & Experiment: Try new frameworks, leverage AI/ML where relevant, and constantly improve the way they build.
  • Help Define Engineering Culture: As one of the founding engineers, you'll set the tone for how they ship, collaborate, and think about code quality and process.

You Might Thrive In This Role If You:

  • 5+ years of full-stack experience, ideally in consumer-focused startups or product-driven teams.
  • Expertise in at least one of JavaScript/TypeScript, , React, Python and a willingness to learn others.
  • Comfort working across the stack, from front-end UI to backend architecture and databases.
  • Experience with mobile development (iOS, Android, or React Native) is a plus.
  • Ability to work fast and scrappy while maintaining high technical standards.
  • Deep understanding of what makes great consumer products, obsession with user experience, clean interfaces, and delightful interactions.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a bias toward action, you're comfortable making decisions and moving forward in uncertainty.
  • Willingness to wear multiple hats and step outside of your comfort zone to help build something truly original.
  • A founder's mindset as you care deeply about the product, the people using it, and the team building it.

Nice to Have:

  • Have experience with e-commerce, payments, or interactive consumer experiences.
  • Have built side projects, startups, or products just for fun.
  • Think about engineering as a creative discipline—you love great UX, design, and thinking about how products make people
    feel
    .
  • Are excited to help shape an engineering culture that values creativity, autonomy, and speed.
