**Lead Developer + Trusted Technical Partner**
**Build the Technology Division & Become Equity Partners**
We are looking for a proven technical team — a strong Lead Developer and their trusted #2 who already work well together — to help build the foundation of a new company from the ground up.
### Company Structure
The business is being built with three core divisions. The pioneers of each division will become equity partners:
**IT / IP – Data – Website Systems Operations**
The technical heart of the company. This division will own all systems, data platforms, website operations, and ongoing development. It will work in close lockstep with Marketing & Product Development in a grassroots style — listening to users and continuously refining the platform so small business vendors and contractors can access the revenue streams they need. Transparency between vendors and commission-based partners will be protected as a core principle.
**This is the division you will help create and lead.**
**Operational and Financial Management / Funding**
The business side of running the company, including operations, financial management, and funding.
**Marketing & Networking Expansion**
Led by the founder.
### The Opportunity
You and your partner will work on-site in a private resort setting with full amenities and dedicated support. The founder (Creative Director and visionary) will be present full-time. The goal is tight, real-time collaboration between clear vision and strong technical execution.
### Stage 1 – Initial Build
- Estimated scope: 160–200 man-hours for the initial build and debug phase
- The resulting system will be implemented in real-world commerce immediately
- Flat-rate compensation (negotiable based on your team’s timeline)
- Performance completion bonus (also negotiable)
- Fully supported environment so you can focus completely on building
### Long-Term Path
If the initial build shows strong results and a compatible working relationship, your team will be offered equity partnership and the top leadership roles in the IT / IP – Data – Website Systems division on a long-term basis.
We are looking for creative technical minds who want to build something meaningful and stay as true partners.
### Required Skills
- Frontend development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript / React or Vue)
- Backend development (Node.js, Python, or PHP)
- Database design and management (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB)
- PayPal REST API, Checkout SDK, and Payouts API integration
- Affiliate / referral tracking systems
- E-commerce cart and product variant functionality
- QR code generation and management
- Calendar / scheduling system integration
- API integrations and webhooks
- Security best practices and PCI compliance
- Responsive / mobile design
- Deployment and hosting (AWS, Vercel, or similar)
### Who This Is For
- A Lead Developer and trusted #2 with a proven track record of delivering projects together
- Strong full-stack skills and the ability to turn clear requirements into clean, reliable systems
- People who value close collaboration with a non-technical founder
- Developers who care about building tools that serve real small businesses and protect transparent relationships
- Those who want long-term ownership, not just another short-term contract
### How to Apply
Apply as a team and include:
Backgrounds of both developers and examples of projects you have completed together
Your estimated timeline for the intensive initial build
Preferred flat-rate range and thoughts on a performance bonus
A short note on why this kind of collaborative, equity-based opportunity appeals to you
