Lead Full Stack Engineer
Description
Compensation: 1.0% – 4.0%
About Us We are building BranchOut, a next-generation career accelerator platform designed to bridge the gap between "tutorial hell" and production-ready experience. We focus on project-based learning and shipping real products. We are looking for a highly motivated Full Stack Developer to join as a Technical Co-Founder and help scale our infrastructure, refine our user-facing dashboards, and build out a seamless application ecosystem.
What You Will Do (The Role) As a Technical Co-Founder your core responsibilities will include:
End-to-End Development: Lead the development of our web platform, scaling the existing React frontend and building out robust backend services.
Feature Shipping: Develop and refine core features, specifically our interactive user application dashboards and project management portals.
Payment Infrastructure: Manage and expand our dynamic pricing models and payment architecture using Stripe.
Technical Strategy: Make key decisions regarding database architecture, hosting, and performance optimization to ensure a smooth, professional user experience.
Team Leadership: As the platform grows, help establish engineering standards and eventually assist in onboarding future fellows and developers.
What You Bring to the Table
Strong proficiency in modern frontend frameworks (specifically React).
Experience building and designing RESTful APIs and managing databases (SQL or NoSQL).
Previous experience integrating third-party APIs (Stripe, authentication providers, etc.).
A "builder" mentality: You care deeply about shipping products, clean UI/UX, and solving problems over just writing code.
The discipline to work remotely, manage your own time, and consistently hit development milestones.
What We Offer
Co-Founder Title & Equity: Significant equity stake in a ground-floor startup.
Portfolio Impact: Build a massive, high-complexity, production-ready application that goes far beyond a standard resume project.
Flexible Remote Environment: As an unpaid/equity role, we respect your time. Work asynchronously and build alongside a dedicated partner.
