We are looking for a Founding Engineer to play a pivotal role in shaping a technical foundation and scaling this product. This role offers a clear path to becoming the CTO as the company grows(or be one from the start).

- Drive product development – ship features, fix bugs, and reduce technical debt while balancing speed and scalability.
- Audit and improve – assess the current tech stack, identify bottlenecks, and propose strategic upgrades.
- Build for reliability – design systems that handle complex marketplace dynamics, payments, and data flows.
- Work with customers – gather feedback and prioritize features that solve real research challenges.
- Shape the stack – recommend and implement improvements to our current setup
We expect that you have:
- 5+ years in backend or full-stack development.
- Strong expertise in scaling data-heavy applications (marketplace/fintech experience is a plus).
- Deep knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean) and database optimization.
- Ability to navigate ambiguity, make high-stakes decisions, and execute with minimal oversight.
- Startup mindset – you thrive in fast-paced environments and embrace iterative development.
- Bonus: Experience with KYC, payments, or anti-fraud systems.
Tech Stack: Dockerized Python APIs on DigitalOcean, Bubble.io, PostgreSQL, n8n.io
What we offer:
- Competitive salary + equity.
- Fully remote work with flexible hours.
- Relocation support/digital nomad visa assistance if needed.
- Autonomy and ownership – you’ll shape the tech foundation of a fast-growing startup.
- Close work with the founding team and the possibility to grow into CTO
