For Racers & Builders – Join Pre-Funding as a Founding Engineer
-- EQUITY ONLY UNTIL FUNDING --
Tired of building yet another corporate tool, banking app, or security compliance dashboard?
If you have always been thinking you should co-found a product you can truly own and shape, this is your chance.
At XRACEAI, we’re creating a next-generation sport-tech platform that fuses AI, racing telemetry, and immersive visualisation to transform how drivers learn, perform, and compete. The product has been thoroughly validated with real users who have a strong interest and an average NPS score of 8-9.
Your Role:
As our Founding Full Stack Engineer, you will own the end-to-end engineering of XRACEAI — from data pipelines to AI integration, from cloud infrastructure to frontend experiences. You’ll work directly with the founder/CEO.
We’ve already onboarded top talent across Product, creative, and Racing domains — now we’re looking for the technical backbone to complete the founding team. You’ll wear multiple hats: backend engineer, frontend developer, architect, DevOps, and data engineer-
This is not a regular job. It’s a founding opportunity for someone who lives and breathes racing and wants to build something meaningful from the ground up. If you’re looking to test the ground and walk away, this isn’t for you.
If you want to own a piece of the next evolution of racing tech, read on.
What we offer:
* Founding Role & Equity: Significant ownership in XRACEAI - generous equity, negotiable based on experience, network, and milestone delivery.
* Compensation: This is an EQUITY ONLY AT START (NO SALARY). A competitive salary will kick in once we close our first fundraising round within 3 to 6 months.
* Strong opportunity to progress into CTO/Co-Founder, with equity progression. Strong opportunity to fully define and own the technical strategy, roadmap and infra scalability.
* Full remote. You can work from anywhere with flexible hours.
* Autonomy & Trust: Lead tech direction, make architectural decisions.
* Community: Work with racing pros, esports drivers, and cutting-edge XR/AI.
What We’re Looking For:
* Full Stack Engineering Experience (5+ years, ideally startup or gaming/immersive/AI).
* Strong experience with real-time databases, data telemetry, and scalable backend systems.
* Strong backend expertise (Node.js, Python, Postgres/Supabase, REST/WebSockets).
* Strong frontend skills (React/Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind).
* Comfort with 3D/real-time visualization frameworks (WebGL,Three.js)
* Familiarity with AI/ML integrations (OpenAI, Gemini, RAG pipelines, MCPs, AI scalability).
* Experience with cloud/infra (Supabase, AWS, GCP, Vercel, Supabase).
* Ability to ship fast, learn, and iterate in a scrappy environment.
* Passion for motorsport, sim racing, or gaming.
What You’ll Do
* Product Development
* Architect and build the XRACEAI platform (frontend, backend, infra).
* Integrate real-time telemetry pipelines (UDP/data, Supabase/Postgres).
* Develop AI/ML integrations for lap analysis and coaching insights.
* Build web apps (React/Next.js, PlayCanvas/Unity for 3D visualization).
* Infrastructure & DevOps
* Set up scalable cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Vercel/Supabase).
* Ensure low-latency data capture (<100ms from console/PC to cloud).
* Manage APIs, database schema, RLS policies, and real-time updates.
* Engineering Leadership
* Contribute in the definition of technical roadmap and milestones.
* Establish coding standards, testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
* Hire and mentor future engineers as the team grows.
* Collaboration & Vision
* Work closely with design, product, and racing experts.
* Translate product vision into a clear and scalable technical strategy.
* Contribute to fundraising and investor conversations when needed.
This is an equity-based role in a project with validated market traction and user feedback.
