Founding Engineer - AI-First App & SaaS Studio [path to CTO]

We're an established e-commerce company: 12 years in business and a remote team of about 10 that runs a dozen D2C brands. We're now launching an in-house studio to build and market mobile apps, SaaS products and Shopify apps. We already have the distribution (paid ads, influencer outreach, a team to support launches). We need the engineer who builds the products. What you'll do - Build and ship MVPs fast. Expect a prototype every 1-2 weeks and about one real product launch a month. - Work AI-first. Claude Code and similar tools write most of the code; you own the architecture, code review, quality and deployment. - Take products all the way live: App Store and Google Play submissions, payments and subscriptions (RevenueCat/Stripe), analytics. - Build a reusable starter kit so every new product launches faster than the last. Our stack (you don't need to know all of it; you need to learn fast) Expo / React Native, Next.js, Supabase, RevenueCat, Stripe, Shopify app framework, Claude API. You're a fit if you - Have shipped at least one app or SaaS product that real users pay for or use. Send links. - Already build with AI coding tools daily and can show how. - Are comfortable owning a product end to end without being told every step. Growth path As products gain traction, we'll grow the engineering team around you. If the studio succeeds, this role grows into CTO of the whole company. Terms Long-term and full-time. Part-time to start is fine while you wrap up current commitments. Hiring starts with a short paid test project.
