The Role
Technical co-founder (CTO) responsible for defining architecture and building a mobile-first MVP and platform. Implement QR entry, location-based content, booking and payment flows, integrate partners via APIs, iterate with pilot hotels, stabilize and scale the system, and support fundraising and technical due diligence.
Summary Generated by Built In
We are building a Digital Concierge Platform for 2–4 star hotels that transforms every hotel room into a digital sales channel for local services. Guests discover and book experiences, wellness, dining, and more via a simple QR code—while hotels unlock new revenue streams without additional operational effort.
The founding team consists of two experienced and successful entrepreneurs with a strong track record in building and scaling companies.
Our next step: build the MVP → launch pilot hotels and partners → raise seed funding.
Your Role
As CTO, you are a technical co-founder responsible for building the entire platform—from architecture to launch.
You will work directly with the founders and have full ownership of the product and tech vision.
Tasks
Your Mission (0–6 months)
Phase 1: MVP (0–3 months)
* Define and build the technical architecture
* Develop a mobile-first web or app MVP
* Implement core features:
* QR-based entry experience
* Location-based content delivery
* Booking and payment flows (via APIs)
* Rapid iteration with real pilot customers
Phase 2: Validation & Fundraising
* Stabilize and scale the platform
* Integrate initial partners (via APIs or manual onboarding)
* Support technical due diligence with investors
Requirements
Strong full-stack engineering background (e.g., React / Next.js / Node / Python or
similar)
* Proven experience building MVPs and scalable platforms
* Product mindset—you think in solutions, not just features
* Ideally experience with:
* Marketplace models
* Booking and payment integrations
* Location-based services
* Hands-on builder mentality with the ability to scale into a leadership role
* Startup mindset: speed over perfection
Benefits
What We Offer
* Equity-based co-founder role
* Opportunity to build a globally scalable product from scratch
* Close collaboration with experienced serial entrepreneurs
* Clear vision with a strong, revenue-driven business model
Compensation
* No salary for the first 3–4 months
* Focus: build MVP & secure funding
* Salary and team expansion after successful fundraising
Why This Is Exciting
* Large, clearly defined global market (hotels worldwide)
* Immediate monetization potential (commission-based model)
* Not a “nice-to-have,” but a revenue engine for hotels
* Strong go-to-market strategy (QR + co-branding + local partnerships)
