About the Role

We are seeking an Austin-based full-stack developer to build the MVP for a new stealth-mode consumer platform. All product screens and flows are already fully designed in Figma for both mobile and web.

You will build the MVP end-to-end across mobile (iOS/Android), web, backend, and lightweight admin tooling. This is a hands-on role requiring local, in-person collaboration with the founder.

NDA Required: Full project details, Figma access, user roles, and scope will be shared only after candidates sign an NDA.

Compensation & Structure

  • Flat-fee: $10,000 total
  • Paid by milestones, not hourly
  • Option to transition into full-time and equity after fundraising
  • This role is for a single developer, not agencies or distributed teams

Skills We’re Looking For

  • Austin-based only (non-negotiable)
  • Strong experience with React Native (mobile), React/Next.js (web)
  • Strong backend experience (Supabase, Firebase, or Node/Postgres)
  • Ability to ship real MVPs quickly and cleanly
  • Startup/0→1 mindset
  • Comfortable working founder-direct and in person
