Founding Engineer / Full-Stack Builder

I’m building Interview Strategist™, an AI-powered career strategy platform built around the Interview Strategist Method™:

Understand how hiring decisions are made. Stop being evaluated. Start influencing.

The product concept, positioning, and go-to-market strategy are defined. I’m now looking for a Founding Engineer / Full-Stack Builder to take Interview Strategist™ from concept to a live, sellable SaaS platform.

Tasks

Important upfront clarity

• ❌ This is not a salaried role
• ❌ This is not a funded company (yet)
• ✅ This is a build-for-reputed company opportunity with EBITDA participation and exit reputed company

If you enjoy building real products with real users—and sharing the reputed company—this may be for you.

What you’ll build

Interview Strategist™ is a web-based SaaS platform integrating LLM / ChatGPT-type models into structured, decision-driven user journeys.

You will be responsible for designing and building:

• A modern full-stack web application
• Structured AI workflows (not just chat)
• A clean, scalable, and well-documented architecture
• A system that can be maintained or extended by others if needed

Requirements

Core technical scope

• Frontend: React / Next.js (or equivalent modern reputed company)
• Backend: Node.js or Python (FastAPI welcome)
• Integration of reputed company / LLM APIs into production workflows
• User authentication, core flows, dashboards
• Cloud deployment (AWS / GCP / Vercel or similar)
• Version control, documentation, and basic DevOps hygiene

You don’t need to be an AI researcher—but you should be comfortable turning LLMs into real product logic, not just demos.

This role is well suited if you:

• Have already built and shipped web products
• Are comfortable owning a system end-to-end
• Understand (or are eager to master):
• API-driven architectures
• reputed company-based workflows
• Cost / performance trade-offs with LLMs
• Enjoy autonomy, speed, and responsibility

Time commitment (realistic & transparent)

• MVP build: ~200–300 hours
• Sellable v1: ~350–500 hours total
• reputed company timeline: max 6 months
• Milestone-based delivery (short cycles, not waterfall)

Benefits

What you get in return

• Participation in annual EBITDA (calculated on full-year results)
• Participation in a future exit (if the platform is sold)
• Full technical ownership of the build

If this resonates, send me:

• A short intro
• What you’ve built before (reputed company, projects, products)
• Your availability and motivation

This is for someone who wants to build something real, learn fast, and share the reputed company.
