Role Description
This is a full-time remote role for a Co-founder & CTO, who will be a strategic partner in shaping the company’s long-term vision and technology direction. The ideal candidate is a Full Stack Developer, primarily strong in backend development, with hands-on experience in Frontend and Mobile app development. The Co-founder & CTO will oversee the entire technology roadmap — from building the MVP to developing a fully scalable product and deployment, managing everything from architecture to execution (0–1) to ensure that OrderEye’s AI-powered SaaS platform remains cutting-edge, stable, and aligned with business growth. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-ambiguity startup environments, is ready to get hands-on, and is eager to own and drive the complete technology growth engine.
Note Before Applying:
- This is Full-time remote role based on upto 10% equity and not on salary.
- The product is already 80% developed using a monolithic architecture built on Java, with the following tech stack listed below.
- This is a Full-time individual contributor (IC) role — not a team management position. We currently don’t have a tech team, as we’re still in the early stages of growth.

- The ideal candidate is a Full Stack Developer, primarily strong in backend development (Java), with hands-on experience in Frontend and Mobile App development.

- Candidates with experience exclusively in service-based companies are not eligible to apply.

- We’re seeking someone with an entrepreneurial mindset, a hustle-first attitude, and hands-on startup experience — if you’re looking for a typical managerial desk role, this won’t be the right fit.
- This is not your usual “manager” position — it’s a builder’s role for someone who is passionate, hungry to build from scratch (0–1), customer-obsessed, and capable of taking SaaS products from concept to traction and then scaling rapidly.
