Founding Member - Software engineering (Mobile/UI)

The problem

Let’s face It - dating apps don’t work. Most, if not all, of us have tried our hands and found all sorts of people we weren’t looking to find, and haven’t found the one we were. So a couple of us thought - hey, that’s it. No more. Intimate relationships sit right above basic needs in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. That’s how fundamental they are, and it’s about time somebody made it easier for all the lonely souls out there to find someone they can spend their Sundays with.

The team

We are currently two co-founders - one with a decade long experience working in tech for multiple Fortune 500 companies and another with a top tier MBA and experience scaling a Series B start-up looking to hire the first employee.

The stage

We are currently early stage, stealth, working day in day out to perfect the product which we arrived at after a ton of market research. We are weeks away from launch and feel now is the perfect time to have someone to lead the GTM, and start creating the pre-launch buzz.

The role (1)

We are looking for someone who

• Can contribute to immediate development needs using Dart and Flutter (preferred but not mandatory if you’re a quick learner).

• Has basic understanding of GCP Firebase and its integrations specially Firestore.

• Has strong coding ability, with an understanding of when to prioritize simplicity versus scalability.

• Can architect and develop robust, scalable, and maintainable solutions.

• Can write clean, efficient, and well-documented code tailored to business needs.

• Take ownership of end-to-end technical delivery, from idea to deployment.

• Stays current with industry trends, technologies, and best practices.

We are NOT looking for someone who

• is looking for the next short term gig before jumping on to another job

• isn’t extremely hands-on

What you will do

As the Founding Member of Engineering, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our overall UI/UX.

You’ll collaborate closely with the founders to architect, build, and scale mobile application, balancing simplicity and scalability where needed.

If you’re someone with a deep understanding of software principles, an appetite for ownership, and the ability to see projects through end-to-end, this is your chance to make a lasting impact.

Why Join Us

• Be a part of a high-impact mission to redefine online dating.

• Work in an environment that values innovation, creativity, and ownership.

• Opportunity to shape the technical foundations and culture of the company.

• Potential for equity and significant growth as the company scales.

Finances

We are 100% bootstrapped and not looking to raise funds right now because we fundamentally feel that it makes no business or ethical sense to raise before having established PMF. Also, who wants to dilute so early when you have so much conviction?

The role (2)

Compensation

Since we’re bootstrapped and pre-revenue, we don’t want people who are in for just the money. While we would be happy to give a stipend that helps the person support themselves should they need that, the main lure has got to be the equity, which is what we are in for too.

We plan to hit the market by the end of the year, and the sooner we hit PMF, the sooner we should be able to start making revenues, and if required, raise funds.

Needless to say your compensation will change (read increase) based on our success and your level.

Location

100% remote till the time we don't have office space. Engineering is going to be based out of Bangalore once we open, and we expect you to be in office once that happens.

Commitment required

Till the time we launch, you should be able to spare sometime during evenings (weekdays) and daytime (during weekends). This will change once we launch

Next steps

If you feel you’re a founder in the making and want to spend the next couple of years learning what most of your peers would maybe in a decade, we would love to have you on-board.

If you have questions you would like addressed first, feel free to book a time with either of the co-founders.
