Founding Engineer – Shape the Future of Live Human Connection | £110k | Remote
Here at Venchr, we’ve partnered with a stealth-mode startup that’s reimagining how people connect live online. This isn’t just another video app or social platform — it’s a bold attempt to bring back the magic of real-time, human connection in a digital world that’s become too passive, too polished, and too lonely.
They’re building a new kind of live experience — one that feels spontaneous, intimate, and alive. Think: the energy of a party, the serendipity of a hallway chat, or the joy of a late-night hangout — all reimagined for the internet.
Why this matters
We believe the next wave of the internet won’t be about content — it’ll be about presence. This team is creating a space where people can show up, be themselves, and share real moments with others. It’s playful, weird, and deeply human.
They’re backed by top-tier investors, have early traction, and are now looking for a Founding Engineer to help bring this vision to life.
What you’ll do
As the first engineering hire, you’ll work directly with the founders to:
* Architect and build the core product from the ground up
* Rapidly prototype and iterate based on real user feedback
* Make foundational technical decisions that will shape the company
* Collaborate closely on product, design, and user experience
* Help define the engineering culture and future team
You might be a great fit if you:
* Have strong full-stack experience and thrive in zero-to-one environments
* Care deeply about how things feel, not just how they function
* Have experience with real-time tech (WebRTC, sockets, etc.) or creative tools
* Are excited to build something joyful, meaningful, and a little weird
* Want to be part of a small team doing something ambitious and new
What’s in it for you
* Founding equity — meaningful ownership in what you’re building
* Creative freedom — your ideas will shape the product and the company
* Remote flexibility — work from anywhere, sync with a tight-knit team
* A chance to build something people didn’t know they needed — until they try it
