Full Stack Technical Co-founder

About This Opportunity

This isn't a traditional job offer, it's an invitation to join foundermatcha as a technical co-founder and build an image monitoring platform from the ground up. We're looking for a Full Stack Technical Co-founder ready to take ownership of a modern SaaS product with real technical depth: image analysis, real-time updates, serverless architecture, and AI-powered web detection. This is an equity-based role with a clear path to cash compensation once we secure funding or reach paid user milestones.

What they're Building

foundermatcha is building a web application that helps users monitor and track where their images appear across the internet. Think reverse image search meets continuous monitoring.

What You'll Own

As the technical co-founder, you'll have complete ownership over:

• Product Development: Building new features, improving architecture, and scaling the platform
• Technical Strategy: Making key decisions about stack, infrastructure, and integrations
• User Experience: Creating seamless workflows from upload to analysis to notification
• Performance: Optimizing background processing, database queries, and real-time updates
• Growth Infrastructure: Building the foundation to scale from MVP to thousands of users

What We're Looking For

Technical Skills:

• Strong experience with full-stack development
• Comfortable with TypeScript and modern frontend tooling
• Experience with PostgreSQL or similar relational databases
• Understanding of API integrations and background job processing
• Bonus: Experience with image processing, computer vision APIs, or real-time systems

Mindset:

• You want to build something from scratch and see it through to product-market fit
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and making technical decisions independently
• You're excited about AI-powered products and SaaS business models
• You value clean code, but know when to move fast and iterate

Compensation & Structure

• Equity: Meaningful founding equity stake (to be discussed based on experience and involvement)
• Cash Component: Once we reach one of the following milestones:
  • Paid users generating consistent revenue
  • Pre-seed or seed funding secured

This is a co-founder-level role, not a contractor position. We're looking for someone who wants to build a company, not just write code.

Current Stage

• MVP built with core features live
• Working prototype with image upload, analysis, and notification system
• Ready to iterate based on user feedback and scale infrastructure
• Actively exploring go-to-market strategy and early user acquisition

What Makes This Different

Most early-stage startups are still figuring out what to build. We have:

• A functioning product with real technical complexity
• Clear technical architecture and documentation
• Integration with proven external APIs (Google Vision, Resend)
• A scalable foundation ready to grow

You won't be starting from zero—you'll be taking a solid MVP and turning it into a market-ready product.

Next Steps

If you're a full-stack developer ready to go from employee to founder, we want to hear from you. Ready to build?
