Position

We're a tiny but mighty startup team - two ex-neobank operators who’ve scaled consumer products in the past. Now, we're trading spreadsheets for live shopping and designer threads. We're searching for a Lead Software Engineer to be our technical backbone – practically a CTO in the making. You'll wear many hats, starting by laying the groundwork on your own, and then potentially building a small engineering team as we grow.

Here's what you'll conquer:

  • Zero to One: Hit the ground running and begin initial development of the app's core functionalities.
  • Team Builder (if needed): Build and scale a fast-moving full-stack engineering team when the time is right.
  • Technical Visionary: Craft the technical roadmap for the app, making critical decisions about architecture, scalability, and technology stack.
  • Full-Stack Hero: Be comfortable dipping your toes in all aspects of development – from backend to frontend and everything in between.
  • Problem-solving Extraordinaire: Tackle complex technical challenges with a cool head and a knack for finding elegant solutions.
  • Communication Champion: Clearly articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Embrace the Chaos: Thrive in a fast-paced startup environment where agility and adaptability are key.

We're looking for someone who:

  • Has 5+ years of experience as a software engineer, preferably in consumer tech companies.
  • Possesses a proven track record of leading and mentoring small engineering teams.
  • Has a deep knowledge of mobile frontend and backend languages, frameworks, and technologies (bonus points for experience with live streaming APIs).
  • Boasts excellent communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills.
  • Thrives in a dynamic environment and embraces the challenges of a startup.

What we offer:

  • The opportunity to be a technical leader and shape the future of live shopping.
  • Considerable equity package for early team members
