Founding Engineer

Description:

Founding Engineer | Mobile & Platform | Tech for Good Startup | AI-Driven | Equity First | Part-Time → Full-Time | Pathway to CTO

This is one of the most exciting opportunities I have worked on for a long time and, for the right person, could be career-defining ...

I’m currently partnered with an early-stage Tech for Good startup building a preventative mental health & performance platform for elite sporting professionals🧠🏀⚽

The Founder is a well-known elite athlete with deep credibility across professional sport, but they’re non-technical, which means this role is truly foundational. You’d be working side-by-side with the Founder, acting as their technical partner, helping shape not just the product, but the technical vision of the business as a whole.

The product is mobile-first, AI-enabled, and designed to support athletes and organisations before problems arise, not after.

The business is already in active conversations with professional clubs and senior sporting organisations, backed by a seriously impressive advisory network. What’s being built here has the potential to genuinely change lives, and you’d play a huge role in making that happen.

They’re now looking for a Founding Engineer (Mobile & Platform) to help build the product from the ground up and become the technical heartbeat of the business.

What makes this opportunity so exciting:

✨ Founding-level ownership - real influence & autonomy from day one

✨ Build a mobile-first product from scratch (iOS first, Android to follow)

✨ AI at the core - shaping how intelligent insights are embedded into the platform

✨ Work directly with an elite athlete founder, investors, and senior sporting stakeholders

✨ Clear long-term pathway into a Head of Engineering / CTO role

✨ Tech for Good impact in mental health and elite sport
