This is a hands-on leadership role combining strategic architecture with rapid, 0-to-1 product delivery.

Massive ownership and influence as a founding executive, shaping the engineering culture and product roadmap of a venture-backed startup.
Work at the intersection of consumer tech and marketplace dynamics, building complex booking and payment systems from the ground up.
What you will do:
Architect and ship the core pet owner platform and subsequent professional marketplace, ensuring scalable foundations and rapid feature deployment.
Manage and mentor a fully distributed engineering team based in Venezuela, establishing high-performance delivery standards and reliable release cycles.
Collaborate directly with the London-based CEO to translate business strategy into a robust technical roadmap and long-term platform health.
The ideal candidate:
Bilingual leader fluent in English and Spanish with a proven track record of managing distributed technical teams in Latin America.
Hands-on technical expert with experience in 0-to-1 consumer startup launches, specifically within mobile, web, or marketplace products.
Pragmatic architect who excels at balancing rapid shipping of high-impact features with the management of technical debt in early-stage environments.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
