Role Description

We’re seeking a Technical Co-Founder to lead Keekot’s end-to-end product development and technology strategy—from MVP launch to scalable SaaS and eCommerce growth.

• Architect & build Keekot’s full-stack platform (web + cloud infrastructure).
• Design a modular, scalable system for user-generated multimedia (photos, videos, audio and more).
• Integrate eCommerce, subscription, and payment capabilities.
• Lead implementation of user collaboration features, permissions, and real-time communication.

• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Business leadership to align technology with vision and growth.
• Optimize performance, scalability, and cost efficiency across cloud services.
• Introduce AI-based tools for storytelling, curation, and personalization.
• Actively contribute to the fundraising journey and be a meaningful stakeholder in the company’s long-term growth and success.

Qualifications

• 6–10 years of B2C tech experience (eCommerce, SaaS, or multimedia preferred).
• Experienced in full-stack and cloud architecture—hands-on yet strategic.
• Passionate about user experience.
• Excited by early-stage turbulence—comfortable defining structure from zero.
• A team leader who can mentor, delegate, and scale an engineering team.
• Curious, creative, and pragmatic about balancing build vs buy decisions.
• Core Technical Stack:
• Frontend: React / Next.js (TypeScript), Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Node.js (Express/NestJS) or Python (FastAPI/Django)
• Database: PostgreSQL / MongoDB + Redis (for caching & real-time)
• Cloud: AWS (S3, Lambda, CloudFront) or GCP (Cloud Run, Storage, Pub/Sub)
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions / GitLab CI
• eCommerce: Shopify API, Commerce.js, or custom checkout (Stripe, PayPal)
• Multimedia: FFmpeg or Transcoder pipelines (video/audio processing)
• Security: OAuth2, JWT, role-based access, encryption
• Analytics: Mixpanel, Amplitude, or GA4 integration

This is an early-stage Co-Founder opportunity with equity-based compensation until funding is secured, after which it evolves into a full-time salaried role.
