Founding Engineer

FanPad is a direct-to-fan platform that helps musicians and creators turn anonymous listeners into real fans and consistent buyers. We partner with artists and their teams to maximize long-term fan engagement and monetization — and we have the case studies to prove it works at scale (clients include Earth, Wind & Fire and Skepta).
We’ve closed our latest funding round and are looking for a Founding Engineer to join the team. You'll have a direct impact on technology that powers high-visibility campaigns, drives millions of dollars in value, and shapes the future of the fan experience.
What you'll do
Ship product as an individual contributor — this is primarily a hands-on engineering role
Own technical architecture decisions and drive them from design through production
Work directly with the CTO and clients to translate business needs into scalable solutions
Grow and lead a small engineering team as we scale

Our stack
Angular · .NET · PostgreSQL · AWS (RDS, EC2, Lambda, S3) · Twilio · Mailgun · various third-party API integrations
What we're looking for
5+ years of full-stack experience across our stack; backend-leaning preferred
Strong ownership mindset — you take problems end-to-end without being told
Self-sufficient in a remote startup environment with US or equivalent timezone availability
Clear communicator who can act as a thought partner with technical and non-technical stakeholders
Comfortable re-prioritizing fast when the business needs change
Passion or genuine curiosity about the music industry or creator economy is a big plus

What we offer
Competitive salary + meaningful equity
Direct line to leadership and real influence over the product roadmap
A fast-moving team with real traction, real clients, and real impact
