More human connection.

More real memories.

We’re currently preparing our first live pilots with creators, athletes and brands.

We’ve just closed our first angel round ($7M post-money valuation), and we’re already seeing strong interest for our upcoming pre-seed round.

Now we want to build the technical foundation for what comes next.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for our first CTO.

Not someone to simply manage an engineering team.

Someone who wants to help architect and build a consumer platform from 0 → 1, and eventually from 1 → millions of users.

Product and design are already covered.

What we need now is a technical leader who can work closely with the founder and product team to turn the vision into a scalable technology platform.

Someone who can make the right architectural decisions today without overengineering for tomorrow.

Someone who can still get their hands dirty.

And someone who, when the time comes, can build and lead a world-class engineering organization around them.

Initially, this will be a lightweight retainer / part-time engagement.

As we move through pilots and toward our pre-seed round, our goal is for this to grow into a long-term CTO leadership role.

What you’ll own

• Define the technical vision and architecture from MVP to scale
• Make the key architectural decisions behind the platform
• Build and evolve a technology stack capable of supporting millions of users
• Work directly with the founder, product and design
• Turn product ideas into simple, scalable technical solutions
• Establish engineering standards, infrastructure and development processes
• Make smart build-vs-buy decisions at an early-stage startup
• Ensure security, reliability, performance and scalability from the right stage
• Evaluate and manage external engineering resources during the early phase
• Stay hands-on where needed
• Recruit and build the internal engineering team as the company grows
• Eventually lead the engineering organization through the next stages of the company

Who we’re looking for

You’re probably a strong fit if you’ve helped build large-scale consumer technology products.

Ideally, you’ve already seen what happens when a product grows from thousands to hundreds of thousands — or millions — of users.

You understand the difference between architecture that looks good on a whiteboard and architecture that actually survives scale.

We’re especially interested in people with experience from companies or products such as:

Meta / Instagram / TikTok / Snapchat / YouTube / Spotify / Airbnb / Strava / Discord / Reddit / Duolingo / Pinterest

You don’t need experience in sports.

You do need experience building technology that people use at scale.

What matters most

We care more about technical judgment and systems thinking than titles or frameworks.

You should have:

• Deep software engineering experience
• Strong system architecture and system design skills
• Experience building scalable B2C platforms
• Experience taking products from 0 → 1
• Experience with high-scale systems and large user bases
• Strong understanding of backend architecture, APIs, infrastructure and data
• Ability to balance speed today with scalability tomorrow
• Strong technical decision-making under uncertainty
• Experience working closely with product and design teams
• Hands-on engineering ability
• Startup mentality and comfort operating with limited resources
• Strong leadership skills
• Experience hiring, mentoring and building engineering teams

Experience with social platforms, creator platforms, marketplaces, consumer apps or products with strong network effects is a major plus.

The kind of CTO we want

You don’t need a 50-person engineering team to start building.

You don’t need perfect requirements before making decisions.

You don’t automatically reach for the most complicated architecture.

You know what needs to be built properly from day one — and what can wait.

You can zoom out and think about a system serving millions of people.

And then zoom back in and solve the problem sitting in front of us today.

We’re looking for someone who can be both architect and builder now, and technical leader later.

Mission fit matters

This role isn’t for everyone.

We believe endless scrolling is one of the biggest behavioral challenges of our generation.

We don’t believe the solution is another screen-time tracker or productivity app.

We believe people need a product that’s simply more fun than staying on the couch.

A platform that makes going outside socially rewarding.

That makes movement viral.

That makes real life worth sharing again.

If your biggest motivation is maintaining mature systems inside a large organization, this probably isn’t the right role.

If the idea of taking everything you’ve learned at scale and using it to build something completely new from the beginning sounds exciting, we’d love to meet you.

Why join now?

• Build the technical foundation from day one
• Architect a new consumer category
• Work directly with the founder and product leadership
• Influence every major technology and product decision
• Join immediately after our first angel round
• Build toward an upcoming pre-seed round with early investor interest already in place
• Start flexibly on a lightweight retainer
• Opportunity to grow into the long-term CTO role
• Build and eventually lead your own engineering organization
• Potential early-stage equity opportunity
• Help build a product that could positively impact over 1 billion people

We’re not trying to build the next social media platform.

We’re trying to build what comes after it.
