Technical CoFounder/CTO - equity share We're looking for a hands‑on technical co‑founder/CTO to own the build and scale of CentricAi. This isn’t a “come build my idea” situation. We're an operator founder from the trenches of courier ops — we own GTM, pilots, courier network, ops, and customer workflows. You’ll own product engineering, architecture, and shipping the MVP into real usage. What you’ll build (first 90 days) Dispatcher console (web)—job creation, live map view, assignment, exception handling, SLA tracking Driver web app—accept/complete jobs, live tracking, status updates, POD (photo/signature + time/location) Core dispatch logic—assignment rules/scoring, SLA prioritisation, capacity handling ETAs that don’t lie—live re‑forecasting using routing signals + driver location Comms hooks—customer notifications (SMS/WhatsApp/email) + internal ops alerts Basic analytics—on‑time %, pickup/delivery ETA accuracy, courier performance signals Responsibilities (ongoing) Own architecture + delivery velocity (MVP → v1 → scale) Build with reliability + observability (logging, metrics, audit trail) Integrate mapping/routing + messaging providers Establish security basics (auth, permissions, data handling) Work tightly with the CEO to turn ops reality into product decisions fast What we're looking for (must‑haves) Strong full‑stack ability (frontend + backend + database) Comfortable shipping scrappy but solid MVPs quickly Experience with real‑time location/tracking or event‑driven systems is a big plus Good product instincts—you care about UX, edge cases, and operational workflows Calm under pressure, direct communicator, builder mentality Nice‑to‑haves Routing/optimisation, ETA modelling, geofencing, fleet/dispatch tooling exposure Map APIs (Google/Mapbox), background jobs/queues, websockets Payments/invoicing, multi‑tenant SaaS experience Familiarity with courier ops / gig workforce tooling Tech direction (flexible) We're not religious about stack — we care about shipping. Typical fit— Next.js/React + Node or Python + Postgres (Supabase ok) + hosted infra. We’ll choose what gets us to pilots fastest. What you get Co‑founder equity (meaningful ownership; structure depends on commitment + contribution) Real‑world problem, real feedback loop, fast iteration (no “build for months in a cave”) Operator founder who brings‑ courier network, pilot outreach, workflows, SLA reality, sales hustle A product with clear wedge—predictability + control beats “fast” when customers are fed up Stage + what we lack We’re ops‑heavy and engineering‑light. The gap is build ownership and shipping velocity. That’s why this role matters. How to apply A short intro + what you’re building/building history Your preferred stack 1–2 examples of products you’ve shipped (links, GitHub, or screenshots) Your availability (hours/week) and location (UK/remote) Quick interview process 20‑min founder chat (fit + speed + expectations) 45‑min deep dive (architecture approach + MVP plan) Build sprint alignment (small scoped test or walkthrough of past work) #J-18808-Ljbffr
