Role: Cofounder / Head of Technology (CTO) — India — Equity only (cofounder-level) Domain: Social + Stock Market (community + portfolio/market features) — idea & company name withheld at first stage Commitment: Full-time. This must be your life. No excuses. Long-term impact only. What this is (short) We’re building a high-leverage product at the intersection of social community and stock-market portfolios. We’re pre-revenue, pre-product-market-fit — moving at startup speed. We want a technical cofounder who will own the product, ship the MVP fast, build the team and systems, and treat this as their career-defining work. Who we want (non-negotiable) You are the person who: Treats product & engineering as the same thing. You’ll design, build, test, ship, measure, repeat. Has built and launched full-stack mobile apps (Android & iOS) end-to-end — not just UI. You can own native/React Native/Flutter or deliver equivalent via vibe/no-code + custom glue when needed. Can code and orchestrate infra, auth, payments, API integrations, real-time feeds, and secure broker/connect flows. Is ruthless about speed, quality, and simplicity. You fix problems instead of writing excuses. Is founder-ready: recruits engineers, owns hiring, sets tech direction, and represents the product externally. Lives in India or can reliably overlap IST hours and attend occasional in-person meetings if required. Must-have technical skills Proven track record building production mobile apps (one or more shipped apps on Play Store/App Store). Full-stack experience: frontend mobile, backend (serverless or Node/Go/Python), databases (Postgres/Supabase/Firebase), and storage. Experience with React Native/Expo or Flutter or native Android + iOS — and the judgement to use the right stack to ship fast. Experience integrating third-party APIs, OAuth flows, and secure token handling (we’ll later connect broker APIs). CI/CD, app deployment to Play Store & App Store, EAS/Fastlane knowledge. Basic infra & security sense (env secrets, HTTPS, key rotation, encryption). Comfortable with low-code/no-code orchestration tools (n8n/Make/Glide) and “vibe-coding” to accelerate delivery. Strong product sense & ability to implement analytics, A/B, and growth hooks. Nice-to-have Experience with market data APIs, trading or brokerage integrations (helpful but not mandatory). Experience with Supabase/Postgres, Redis, real-time sockets, and scaling mobile backends. Worked on consumer social products and community features (feeds, comments, notification systems). Experience building subscription/payments flows (Stripe/Razorpay). Responsibilities (day 1 → 12 months) Day 1–30: Own the tech plan. Ship a lean, testable MVP for Android + iOS that proves core product behavior. Build, deploy and iterate: move from manual portfolio upload → read-only brokerage connect (secure) → live feed. Architect a serverless-first backend that can scale, and own all infrastructure & releases. Hire and manage a small engineering team as the product scales. Implement monitoring, Sentry/observability, automated tests, and shipping cadence. Work closely with founder(s) on product strategy, growth, and GTM. Set engineering culture: code quality, reviews, standards, and rapid delivery. Compensation Equity-only, cofounder-level — meaningful percentage for a founding CTO. No salary at this stage. Exact equity will be negotiated based on experience, commitment, and contribution. We expect total ownership and founder-level accountability. If you need a paycheck now, this is not the role. Culture & expectations No micro-management. Extreme ownership. You make the decisions and own the consequences. We ship weekly. We measure impact, not hours. Not for the comfortable. This is for builders who want to create lasting impact and are ready to sacrifice short-term comfort for long-term upside. Honesty, speed, and clarity trumps politeness. We value blunt, respectful feedback. Interview & hiring process (direct, fast) Short screening (10–15 min). Technical take-home or repo review (small production task). Live system-design + coding session. Founder deep-dive (vision & alignment). Expect to show code, apps, and talk about tradeoffs you made. Decisions will be ruthless and fast — we want people who can operate under pressure. How to apply Send one email to community@credx.club with these items in the body (not as attachments): One-line subject: CTO Cofounder — [Your Name] Two-sentence summary of why you’re the cofounder we need. Link to 1 production app (Play Store / App Store) or GitHub repo and a 1-paragraph explanation of what you built and your role. 3 bullets: tech stack you own, biggest engineering win, what percentage equity you expect (range). Your availability to start and timezone. No PDFs. No long essays. If you can’t follow these instructions, you won’t pass the first screening. Final note We’re building something that matters — community + markets — and we need a cofounder who treats this as the fight of their life.
