Technical CoFounder/CTO - equity share
We're looking for a hands‑on technical co‑founder/CTO to own the build and scale of CentricAi.
This isn’t a “come build my idea” situation. We're an operator founder from the trenches of courier ops — we own GTM, pilots, courier network, ops, and customer workflows. You’ll own product engineering, architecture, and shipping the MVP into real usage.
What you’ll build (first 90 days)
* Dispatcher console (web)—job creation, live map view, assignment, exception handling, SLA tracking
* Driver web app—accept/complete jobs, live tracking, status updates, POD (photo/signature + time/location)
* Core dispatch logic—assignment rules/scoring, SLA prioritisation, capacity handling
* ETAs that don’t lie—live re‑forecasting using routing signals + driver location
* Comms hooks—customer notifications (SMS/WhatsApp/email) + internal ops alerts
* Basic analytics—on‑time %, pickup/delivery ETA accuracy, courier performance signals
Responsibilities (ongoing)
* Own architecture + delivery velocity (MVP → v1 → scale)
* Build with reliability + observability (logging, metrics, audit trail)
* Integrate mapping/routing + messaging providers
* Establish security basics (auth, permissions, data handling)
* Work tightly with the CEO to turn ops reality into product decisions fast
What we're looking for (must‑haves)
* Strong full‑stack ability (frontend + backend + database)
* Comfortable shipping scrappy but solid MVPs quickly
* Experience with real‑time location/tracking or event‑driven systems is a big plus
* Good product instincts—you care about UX, edge cases, and operational workflows
* Calm under pressure, direct communicator, builder mentality
Nice‑to‑haves
* Routing/optimisation, ETA modelling, geofencing, fleet/dispatch tooling exposure
* Map APIs (Google/Mapbox), background jobs/queues, websockets
* Payments/invoicing, multi‑tenant SaaS experience
* Familiarity with courier ops / gig workforce tooling
Tech direction (flexible)
We're not religious about stack — we care about shipping. Typical fit— Next.js/React + Node or Python + Postgres (Supabase ok) + hosted infra. We’ll choose what gets us to pilots fastest.
What you get
* Co‑founder equity (meaningful ownership; structure depends on commitment + contribution)
* Real‑world problem, real feedback loop, fast iteration (no “build for months in a cave”)
* Operator founder who brings‑ courier network, pilot outreach, workflows, SLA reality, sales hustle
* A product with clear wedge—predictability + control beats “fast” when customers are fed up
Stage + what we lack
We’re ops‑heavy and engineering‑light. The gap is build ownership and shipping velocity. That’s why this role matters.
How to apply
* A short intro + what you’re building/building history
* Your preferred stack
* 1–2 examples of products you’ve shipped (links, GitHub, or screenshots)
* Your availability (hours/week) and location (UK/remote)
Quick interview process
1. 20‑min founder chat (fit + speed + expectations)
2. 45‑min deep dive (architecture approach + MVP plan)
3. Build sprint alignment (small scoped test or walkthrough of past work)
