Job Description

**UPDATE (JUNE 7): We are in active interviews with exceptional candidates
from our initial post but are still seeking the perfect technical partner.
Paid work trials for final candidates begin as early as this week.**

CoBuy is transforming how people achieve homeownership together. We're seeking
an architect-level partner to build the future of our platform. This is a
foundational, equity-rich co-founder role for a proven technical leader.

Our mission is to make shared homeownership simpler, safer, and a smarter
investment. We have a live SaaS platform (Co-ownerOS™) with paying Beta
customers and a history of deep domain expertise, backed by a grant from the
Algorand Foundation.

The timing is critical. We have undeniable, recent market validation:

* **Pre-Launch Traction:** Multiple co-buyer groups have already pre-paid for our upcoming August platform expansion.
* **Engaged Waitlist:** A waitlist of over 2,100 co-buyers is ready for this launch.
* **Strong Backing:** We are closing a $300k bridge round and are supported by international angel investors with deep expertise in Real Estate, Finance, Product, Blockchain, and Government.

* * *

### **The Role: What You 'll Do**

* **Own the Stack:** Take complete ownership of our technical vision, architecture, and roadmap (Node/Express/TS, React, PostgreSQL, Algorand).
* **Ship with Impact:** Own and launch our game-changing "Co-buyer Route" feature, directly unlocking our largest market segment.
* **Build the Future:** Architect and build the next generation of features, including B2B integrations and APIs for the mortgage and insurance industries.
* **Lead & Mentor:** Grow and lead the future engineering organization, establishing a culture of excellence and high-velocity execution.

* * *

### **Who You Are: What You Bring**

* You are a proven, hands-on, full-stack architect or senior engineer with significant experience building and scaling web applications.
* You are product-minded. You don't just write code; you build elegant solutions to complex human problems and have a strong sense of user experience.
* You are driven by mission, impact, and the opportunity to build a category-defining company. You thrive in a lean, high-autonomy environment.
* You see a significant equity stake in a validated, early-stage company as the most compelling part of a compensation package.

* * *

### **The Offer & Our Process**

This is a true co-founder opportunity. The compensation is heavily weighted
towards equity, reflecting the foundational nature of the role.

* **Significant Co-Founder Equity (10-15%)**
* **Post-Bridge Stipend:** A cash stipend of ~$13.5k/month ($162k/year) for the first 6 months, starting upon the close of our current $300k bridge round.
* **Paid Work Trial:** We respect your time and believe in proving mutual fit. Final candidates will participate in a paid 3-5 day work trial to work on a real, contained project alongside our team.

If you are the kind of engineer who sees beyond code to impact—who wants
equity over salary negotiations—let's talk.
