Full-Stack Tech Lead – Co-Founder Track

Engineers collaborating on a car project in a modern automotive workshop using advanced technology.

🚀 The Role

We’re building a smarter, faster way for businesses to access branded merchandise — and we’re looking for a technical partner to help turn it into a scalable, automated platform. This is more than a dev job. It’s a builder’s seat at the table and the start line for future projects.

If you’ve ever wanted to shape a product from the ground up, influence tech strategy, and own the architecture of something real — this is your chance.

Ready to rip, pivot and jam to new destinations ? …. then read on.

🎯 The Opportunity

The promo and print-on-demand industry is huge — but fragmented, outdated, and mostly manual.

We’ve already built a functional branded merch site and proven key workflows. Now we’re rebuilding the engine:

  • Automating product sourcing and branding
  • Integrating merch into marketing tech stacks
  • Eventually acquiring outdated operators and modernising their workflows

You’ll help architect a platform that connects branded products to CRMs, campaign tools, and AI pipelines — with efficiency, insight, and impact.

🔧 What You’ll Own

Short Term (0–3 months):

  • Rebuild and extend parts of the WooCommerce stack
  • Infrastructure and automation pipelines — including data scraping, enrichment, and integration (primarily in Python)
  • Integrate automation via n8n and browserless to enrich product data and sync with pricing and delivery feeds
  • Streamline back-office ops (quoting, proofs, fulfilment)
  •  

Medium Term (3–12 months):

  • Architect product and API layer beyond Woo
  • Build internal tools (client portals, vendor automation)
  • Connect merch workflows to CRM and campaign tools
  • Lay foundation for tech-led M&A rollout (multi-brand support)
  • Create a branded “preview + package” system for sales and events

Long Term:

  • Lead tech team as we scale
  • Influence product direction and data models
  • Explore custom visual branding tech and deeper AI (multimodal ML & generative systems) use cases
  • Lay technical foundations to support future ventures beyond merch (tooling, infra, reuse)

🛠️ Our Stack (Currently)

  • Frontend / CMS: WordPress + WooCommerce (short-term)
  • Automation: n8n, Browserless (Puppeteer), Python
  • CRM & Ops: Frappe / OneHash (ERPNext)
  • Docs & Process: AFFiNE (self-hosted)
  • Cloud & Hosting: Mix of VPS + containerised services

You’ll help shape what replaces, extends, or abstracts this.

🧠 You Might Be a Fit If You…

  • Are full-stack but systems-minded
  • Know your way around APIs, automation tools, or AI workflows
  • Enjoy owning outcomes, not just code
  • Like merging product thinking with developer pragmatism
  • Are comfortable building solo and scaling later
  • Have experience with WordPress or are happy to migrate out of it
  • Thrive in resource-constrained environments and can build lean
  • Capable of vibe developing MVP’s at speed and diving into the nitty gritty when required
  • You’re a builder → From Python scraping to glue code and workflow automation, you’re hands-on across the stack — and you don’t wait for perfect specs or docs to make progress.

💡 Bonus Points If You’ve Touched…

  • E-commerce customisation or B2B portals
  • Visual asset pipelines (images, SVGs, mockups)
  • Automation platforms (n8n, Zapier, Node-RED, etc.)
  • Campaign or CRM workflows (e.g. HubSpot, Frappe, ERPNext)
  • AI integrations (OpenAI, embeddings, visual AI)

📦 What We’re Offering

  • 🧩 Equity + strategic ownership (negotiable)
  • 🧠 Co-founder-level influence from day 1
  • 💼 Flexible time commitment in early phase
  • 🎯 Clear roadmap, traction, and an ambitious long-term plan

Who Should NOT Apply or Make Contact

Just to clarify — this role isn’t for agencies, recruiters, or dev shops.

We’re looking for a technical co-founder: someone who wants to build from the ground up with equity, ownership, and vision.

If you’re a founder-type dev who wants to own part of the journey, let’s talk.

Otherwise, no need to pitch services — thanks!

📬 What’s Next?

We’d love to hear from you.

No CVs needed — just send:

  • A short note on why this resonates or how you’d approach it

Email or DM — open to async chats, quick calls, or shared diagrams to jam on ideas.
