About This Job

We're an early-stage startup building an invite-only platform designed to connect cultural tastemakers with exclusive, off-market experiences. This venture is led by experienced operators from the entertainment and tech industries who are rethinking event access, guest management, and influencer engagement at scale.

As the Founding Engineer / CTO, you’ll continue to architect, build, and scale our platform from where it is today. You’ll collaborate closely with the CEO and founding team to align technical execution with business vision.

You have cloud infrastructure experience with AWS, Google Cloud, or similar)
You’re experienced with mobile development (React Native or Swift/Kotlin)
You have previous startup or founding experience
You’re comfortable leading engineering teams and building from scratch


You Should NOT Apply If:

You’re not proficient in React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, or Firebase
You don’t have experience working on consumer-facing products
You’re unfamiliar with cloud infrastructure like AWS or Google Cloud
You’re not hands-on with both web and mobile development
You’re not comfortable operating in fast-paced, early-stage environments


What They Are Looking For:

A full-stack builder who can ship production-ready code and take a product from zero to one
A technical leader with experience leading or founding engineering teams
A visionary problem-solver who understands how tech drives culture and business
A product-minded engineer focused on UX, engagement, and growth
A security-first thinker who values privacy in high-profile communities
An adaptable operator who thrives in ambiguity and wears multiple hats


What They Are Offering:

Significant equity package
A chance to shape the future of exclusive event access
High-impact leadership role with influence across product, tech, and growth
Collaboration with top-tier brands, creators, and event organizers
A culture centered on innovation, access, and cultural connection
