Lead Developer/Founding Programmer
About the Role
We are looking for a Lead Developer / Founding Programmer to help take a new software product across the finish line and bring it to market.
This is an in-office position for someone who wants to be deeply involved in building, problem-solving, collaborating, and helping shape the future of a product from the inside. We want someone physically present with the team, engaged in the day-to-day, and able to move quickly alongside leadership as we finalize and launch this software.
This is not a role for someone who just wants tickets handed to them. We need someone who is creative, resourceful, highly capable, and able to think outside the box. Someone who can look at a problem, find opportunities others miss, and build solutions that may not already exist.
Right now, this person will be the primary developer and technical owner of the product. Over time, this role is expected to grow into a leadership position, where they will help build and lead the development team, guide the product daily, and shape its long-term technical direction.
This is an opportunity to step into something early, have real influence, and help build a product the right way before it hits the market.
What You’ll Do
Lead the final development and launch readiness of a new software product
Take ownership of architecture, functionality, scalability, and product stability
Solve complex technical problems with creativity and practical execution
Build features that may require original thinking, unconventional solutions, and rapid iteration
Work directly with leadership in-office to turn ideas into execution
Help prioritize what needs to be built now versus later
Create systems and processes that support long-term product growth
Prepare the product for launch, adoption, and ongoing improvement
Eventually help hire, manage, and lead a development team as the product scales
Serve as the day-to-day technical leader of the platform
Who We’re Looking For
We want someone who is:
A strong developer with real product-building experience
Comfortable being the lone developer initially
Entrepreneurial in mindset and excited by ownership
Creative and able to build beyond standard plug-and-play solutions
Able to think strategically, not just code tactically
Comfortable making decisions and moving quickly
Passionate about creating products that stand out in the market
Able to balance speed, quality, and long-term scalability
Interested in growing into a leadership role
Excited to work in-office and collaborate closely with leadership and the team
Ideal Experience
Experience leading or owning software projects from development through launch
Strong full-stack development background
Experience with application architecture, APIs, integrations, databases, and deployment
Ability to work independently without constant direction
Experience improving, fixing, and shipping products under real deadlines
Experience building internal systems, SaaS products, automation tools, or custom platforms
Leadership experience is a plus, but the ability to grow into leadership matters just as much
Why This Role Is Different
You will have real ownership
You will help shape a product before and during launch
You will work directly with decision-makers in-office
You will not be boxed into a narrow programming role
You will have the opportunity to participate in profit share / revenue share
You will be building with the expectation that this role becomes a leadership seat as the company grows
Compensation
Base salary: $70,000 to $130,000+, depending on experience and ability
Performance upside: Profit share / revenue share opportunity
Compensation is flexible for the right person who can truly own and elevate the product
