About TokuGo

TokuGo is building a playable spatial commerce platform where real-world discovery, AR, AI, and Web3 converge.

Users explore cities through AR, discover offers in real time, collect tokens, trade digital assets, and interact socially — turning shopping into a game.

We are pre-seed, we've built an Hi-Fi Figma Prototype, MVP (Android), B2B CMS Ready for Pilots, and preparing for funding.

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on Senior Engineering Partner to support the CTO during a critical build phase.

This is:

• Not a passive advisory role
• Not full-time (yet)

It is a high-impact builder role for someone who wants meaningful ownership early and the option to move into a permanent leadership position post funding.

What You’ll Do (Hands-On, Focused Scope)

CTO Support & Core Engineering

• Work directly with the CTO on:

  - Core architecture decisions
  - Technical problem-solving
  - MVP delivery priorities

• Contribute production-quality code where it matters most

• Act as a technical sounding board and execution partner

iOS & Spatial Computing

• Contribute to the native iOS app

Support:

• Swift / SwiftUI architecture
• ARKit / RealityKit experiences

• Spatial UI and location-based logic

• Help optimize performance for real-world AR usage

AR, Spatial Commerce & Real-Time Systems

Support:

• Location-based AR discovery
• Social and multiplayer spatial concepts

• Real-time overlays and filters

• Help validate spatial UX and performance trade-offs

Web3, Tokens & Digital Assets

Help implement:

• Token reward mechanics
• NFT-based assets (deals, rewards, collectibles)

• Wallet integrations (custodial and non-custodial)

• Support clean, mainstream-friendly Web3 UX

Backend & Integration (Selective)

Collaborate on:

• APIs and services
• Firebase / serverless logic

• Real-time data flows

• Focus on pragmatic, scalable early-stage solutions

Who We’re Looking For Must-Have

• Senior, hands-on engineer (you actively code)
• Strong native iOS experience
• Experience shipping consumer-facing products
• Comfortable contributing in a part-time, early-stage role
• Startup or zero-to-one experience preferred

*Strong Experience In *(Several of These)

• Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit
• ARKit / RealityKit / SceneKit
• Location-based services & maps
• Real-time systems
• Web3 fundamentals (tokens, NFTs, wallets)
• Marketplace or commerce platforms

Bonus (Nice to Have)

• Spatial computing / XR
• Game mechanics or gamification
• Blockchain smart contracts
• Founder or CTO background

Time & Collaboration Model

• 8–10 hrs/week, flexible
• Async-friendly, outcome-driven
• Clear priorities and high leverage work
• Designed to scale post funding

Growth Path

Post pre-seed funding, this role is expected to evolve into one of the following (by mutual agreement):

• Lead Engineer
• Principal Engineer
• Head of Engineering
• Core Founding Engineer

Why This Role Matters

You’ll be:

• A foundational technical contributor
• Shaping architecture at the right moment
• Building a genuinely new spatial commerce category
• Positioned early for long-term upside
