Founding Engineer: MVP Architect (Equity Partner)
Founding Engineer: MVP Architect (Equity Partner)
Company: Le Vente, Inc. & The Riché App
Location: Remote / Flexible (Core Team in Ohio) Focus: Blockchain, SaaS, Luxury Asset Authentication
The Vision
Counterfeiting is a $2.2 Trillion global crisis that erodes brand equity and funds illicit activities. Le Vente, Inc. is engineering the definitive solution. The Riché App is not just an interface; it is a high-integrity trust layer built on a proprietary SaaS Blockchain architecture.
We are seeking an elite Founding Engineer to architect our Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and lead the technical evolution of a platform designed to secure the world's most valuable assets.
The Challenge: From 0 to 1
As our MVP Architect, you will not be maintaining legacy code. You will be building the "Vanguard" version of our ecosystem. This role requires a rare blend of theoretical depth and pragmatic execution.
Your Technical Mandate:
System Architecture: Design and implement a scalable, high-concurrency backend capable of handling global luxury supply chain data.
Blockchain Engineering: Develop and deploy secure smart contracts for asset tokenization and immutable authentication.
MVP Delivery: Ownership of the full-stack lifecycle—from designing the core API to ensuring a world-class, "luxury-tier" mobile experience.
Strategic Inflection: Collaborate directly with the Founders on technical feasibility, patent-pending IP, and the long-term scalability of our SaaS model.
Candidate Profile
We are looking for candidates who possess the "Founding DNA"—a combination of high IQ, high EQ, and an relentless drive to build.
Academic Pedigree: A degree in Computer Science or a related field from a top-tier institution (Ivy League, Stanford, MIT, etc.).
Full-Stack Mastery: Proficiency in modern, high-performance languages (Go, Rust, Node.js) and frameworks (React Native, Flutter).
Web3 Fluency: Deep understanding of distributed ledgers, cryptographic primitives, and smart contract security.
The "Polymath" Trait: You are as comfortable discussing business logic and unit economics as you are discussing Big O complexity or consensus algorithms.
Why This Role?
For an Ivy League candidate, the opportunity cost of a "Big Tech" job is high. We offer what Google or Meta cannot:
True Ownership: A significant founding equity stake. You aren't just an employee; you are a partner in the venture.
Intellectual Autonomy: You have total control over the tech stack and architecture. You set the standards.
Mission Criticality: Your code will be the foundation of a company aiming to disrupt a multi-billion dollar illicit industry.
Post-Funding Evolution: This role is designed to transition into a C-Suite or VP-level position (CTO, VP of Engineering) as we close our Seed and Series A rounds.
Terms
Primary Compensation: Early-stage Founding Equity (Vesting schedule to be negotiated).
Salary: Market-competitive salary + full benefits package triggered immediately upon close of the initial funding round.
