Frontend Developer / Mobile Developer (iOS + Android)
KingPool is the first "Fantasy Sports-as-a-Service" product of its kind, enabling businesses to increase customer engagement and monetize user engagement through AI-enabled personalized fantasy sports contests. We are unfunded and early-stage -- MVP mobile app is built, a few successful pilots have been conducted, and now we are ramping up our product/market fit and customer acquisition efforts in preparation for a hopeful pre-seed fundraise. Initially we used an external application development agency for MVP development, but at this time we are building a lean in-house product team. We have a backend engineer on board, and now need someone who specializes in frontend development, product design, mobile applications (iOS + Android), and app store operations. You are extremely excited about working in an early-stage startup and would be motivated to help us grow. At first you personally will be responsible for UX/UI design, software development, product launches, etc. but over time as product capabilities expand can lead the growth of a software development team.
Responsibilities:
- Refine and stand up product development tech stack
- Lead frontend development duties for web and mobile application, coordinating with backend lead and CEO for total product development operations
- Lead product design and innovative UX/UI strategy efforts
- Develop product strategy as it relates to features, capabilities, etc.
- Own the product backlog, provide prioritization guidance, ensure product / business alignment
- Own the product roadmap, clearly communicate with rest of founding team on statuses, risks, expectations, etc.
Qualifications:
- Impressive experience in software development and product management roles
- Full stack capabilities preferred- frontend, backend, mobile, web, iOS, Android, frontend capabilities requiredExperience leading, building, and scaling teams
- Experience in early stage startups, prior experience taking a pre-seed startup to seed stage and beyond or experience as a former startup CTO / developer is a huge plus
Experience in sports, sports tech, sales and marketing tech, other related fields is a plus, although not requiredExperience building and launching mobile applications Compensation / Logistics: KingPool as of today is an unfunded operation, we built our MVP with a small crowdfund, and our next milestone is raising our pre-seed round once we build our commercial traction a bit. This position will be unpaid and equity only at first, and with that you are not expected to quit your day job and can approach this as a part-time side project for now. Upon fundraise, I can be flexible with desired salary depending on fundraise success, but we can have transparent conversations about this upfront to understand your needs. kingpool.app
