As part of the founding team, you will contribute to product strategy, hiring, and cross-functional initiatives while ensuring high-quality, performant software. This role offers the opportunity to influence the company’s long-term vision and work in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment. Candidates must be comfortable with remote work, US timezones, and occasional team offsites. Accountabilities: · Build and maintain the core application, ensuring usability and performance for a global user base. · Design and develop scalable backend infrastructure and APIs for first-party and third-party integrations. · Support developer experience, including SDKs, documentation, and embedding our jackpot system. · Collaborate on product, design, go-to-market, and compliance decisions as a founding team member. · Contribute to hiring and establishing company culture, mentorship, and engineering best practices. · Participate in quarterly offsites and remote collaboration to align team strategy and execution. · 5+ years of professional software engineering experience. · Proven experience building applications at scale (1M+ users) and contributing to startups. · Strong proficiency in modern tech stacks such as TypeScript, React, Next.js, Redis, or similar. · Hands-on experience with backend systems, APIs, and developer tools. · Ability to operate independently, take ownership, and make decisions across multiple domains. · Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills in a remote/distributed environment. · US-based timezone (Eastern to Pacific) and availability for occasional travel to team offsites. · Salary range: $125,000 – $225,000 per year. · Exceptional equity grant: 1.25% – 2%+ with a favorable 7-year exercise window. · Token warrants included as part of the compensation package. · Fully remote work with unlimited paid time off (PTO). · Top-tier medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents. · Quarterly weeklong offsites to foster team collaboration and culture. · Higher salary and equity than typical startups, with opportunities to shape company growth.
