🚀 Founding Engineer – Build the Operating System for Sports Ticketing
We’re partnering with a stealth, early-stage startup transforming how teams, leagues, and brands manage ticketing.
They’re building an AI-powered platform to bring automation, visibility, and intelligence to the sports ticketing ecosystem and now need a Founding Engineer to help take this from 0→1.
💻 What you’ll actually do
As a Founding Engineer, you won’t just “write code”: you’ll help build the company.
- Build the MVP from scratch and own the core product
- Turn the founders’ vision into a real, working platform
- Define the tech stack and architecture
- Write clean, scalable code that future teams build on
- Work directly with customers, demos, and early feedback
- Help hire and shape the future engineering team
👉 In an early-stage startup, everyone wears multiple hats: you’ll likely step into product, customer, and strategy conversations too.
🧠 What we’re looking for
- Proven ability to build MVPs fast (you’ve done 0→1 before)
- Strong full-stack skills (stack less important than mindset)
- Product thinker: you care about users, not just code
- Comfortable in ambiguity and constant change
- Adaptable, hands-on, and willing to go the extra mile
- Someone who genuinely believes in the vision
🔥 Why this role
- True ownership from day one
- High-impact, small team environment
- Chance to build a category-defining product in sports tech
- Equity upside (typically ~1–2% at this stage)
💰 Compensation
- Competitive base plus equity and benefits
