COMPANY
We are an early-stage, stealth-mode, private tech startup headquartered in Austin, Texas. Company leadership is proven and has built and sold companies in successful exits to the biggest names in tech, including Google, eBay, Cisco, GameStop, and more. We are well down the path to our first major product release, coming out soon. We currently have ~15 developers working on our tech/product portfolio.
OPPORTUNITY
This role/opportunity is specifically designed as an ideal side gig for a principal level engineer who already has a solid day job.
- You keep your day job, with its salary, health insurance, and security.
- You work 10-12 hours per week on this company as a remote, part-time side gig.
- You receive equity equal to ~2X what a VP Engineering typically gets in a startup, which is untouchable in your day job, and gives you the upside swing at a life-altering payout, with a proven team that has multiple solid exits, while maintaining the security and stability of your day job.
- You work with the latest/greatest cutting-edge tools and tech to increase your professional value.
- You work on a truly innovative and fun product – something you’ll actually want to use yourself.
We are looking to add one more principal level full stack engineer to our core team. This is a serious offer, and only highly qualified and serious candidates will be considered.
REQUIREMENTS
- Proficient in Node.js development
- Proficient in developing on the AWS platform using a wide variety of AWS services
- Experienced in full stack software development in multiple languages
- Proficient in the use of SQL
- Experience with GraphQL a plus but not required
- Able to crank out meaningful quantity of high-quality work product in limited time
- Self-motivated, self-organizing, comfortable as part of fully virtual team
- Good human being, no time for a$$holes
- Truly enjoy building cool stuff
- Interested in selling what we build for an M&A exit
On the cloud side, we are using Node.js and various AWS services including Cognito, AppSync, SQS, RDS (PostgreSQL), Lambda, S3, CDK, etc. On the mobile app side, we are using Swift/Combine for iOS and Kotlin for Android. We integrate the cloud and mobile tech/data sides of the house using GraphQL and AppSync Notifications.
COMPENSATION
This is a part-time, remote, side gig position. Initially there is no cash compensation – it’s equity only. We typically transition the core team (at your option) to full-time and salaried at the Series A round, or you may continue to vest on a side gig basis while keeping your day job – it’s up to you and we have had team members choose either path for good reasons. This opportunity is an excellent one for a very talented individual who has a day job to cover salary requirements, but is interested in not working for a salary for the rest of their life, wants a major equity stake, and values the chance to play a key role in building a significant company. We have built multiple companies using this model. It distributes early equity to engineers vs. investors, which is a model we prefer for many reasons.

- Node.js: 2 years (Required)
