[Hiring] [Remote] [US/CA] - Founding Engineer for consumer mental health app launching in a couple weeks

Background:

Two co-founders looking for a technical cofounder or very strong founding engineer to take ownership of an app that is already built and nearing launch.

We are building in the consumer mental health/therapy support space. I can share more 1:1 without broadcasting the niche publicly, but this is not an idea-stage project and not a “looking for someone to build my app from scratch” situation. V1 is launching in the next couple of weeks. GTM is already established and locked in. The company has already been founder bootstrapped with multiple six figures to get to this point, and we are planning to raise in June/July.

What we need now is someone who can become the in-house technical owner and lead the transition away from our outsourced engineering team. The majority of the heavy lifting has already been completed, but maintenance, iteration, feature additions, optimization, and long-term product ownership are imperative from here.

Your background:

• Strong full-stack engineer
• iOS experience is the current priority
• Android experience is a major plus
• Web app experience is required
• Comfortable with AI integrations/LLM product work
• Data/analytics fluency is a plus
• Experience shipping consumer apps is ideal
• Interest in mental health/therapy is a plus
• Priority to those Based in Canada/USA (please indicate in your message, otherwise do not expect a response)

We're not interested in flipping consumer apps. The vision here is much larger. This consumer product loops back into a broader B2B software vision we already have live with daily clinician use. Ultimately, we're are building toward a meaningful SaaS company.

Compensation can be structured as salary+equity depending on fit and timing. We want to be transparent that this is not dropping into a high-salary role on day one. Once funded, roles will be salaried (Eng. role starts at base 130-150k USD) Right now, we are looking for the right person who understands the stage, believes in the opportunity, and wants ownership.

About us:

We are two founders, grinding on this every day of the week. I’m a repeat founder with experience across multiple companies and have raised over $10M in prior successful ventures. This is my first ios consumer app, so I’d especially value someone who has real mobile product experience and can help lead from launch into scale.

Main thing we want in a partner: someone pragmatic, fast, sharp, available and not overly romantic about code. Someone who can ship, make strong product and technical decisions, and help us build an actual company here.

Happy to discuss more over a call. We’re looking to move relatively fast on this.

If this sounds like you, DM me with your background, what you’ve built, and why this feels like a fit.

Thanks!
