Co-Founder & CTO

I'm looking for a co-founder and CTO to build Playdate with me.

Playdate is a sports matchmaking app launching in Dubai this September. We match players for recreational sports based on skill, availability, and location. Underneath that, we're building a behavioral data layer that gets smarter with every game played. Think of it as the operating system for recreational sports in the GCC.

We have a prototype, a design system, a pre-seed raise underway, and a clear September deadline. What we don't have yet is the right technical co-founder to own the build end-to-end.

I'm looking for someone who is mobile-first, has shipped a real product from 0 to 1, and understands the technical complexity of two-sided marketplaces: matching logic, user graphs, data pipelines. Someone who can make architecture decisions independently and is energized by a tight deadline and a wide-open market.

This is an equity role. Remote within MENA is fine. Dubai presence a plus as we approach launch.

If you've been waiting for a market with no dominant player, a real data moat to build, and a co-founder who will match your energy, let's talk.
