Technical CoFounder/CTO - equity share (Poste de cofondateur)

The role

I’m looking for a hands-on technical co-founder/CTO to own the build and scale of CentricAi.

This isn’t a “come build my idea” situation. I’m an operator founder from the trenches of courier ops — I’ll own GTM, pilots, courier network, ops, and customer workflows. You’ll own product engineering, architecture, and shipping the MVP into real usage.

What you’ll build (first 90 days)

• Dispatcher console (web): job creation, live map view, assignment, exception handling, SLA tracking
• Driver web app: accept/complete jobs, live tracking, status updates, POD (photo/signature + time/location)
• Core dispatch logic: assignment rules/scoring, SLA prioritisation, capacity handling
• ETAs that don’t lie: live re-forecasting using routing signals + driver location
• Comms hooks: customer notifications (SMS/WhatsApp/email) + internal ops alerts
• Basic analytics: on-time %, pickup/delivery ETA accuracy, courier performance signals
• Responsibilities (ongoing)
• Own architecture + delivery velocity (MVP → v1 → scale)
• Build with reliability + observability (logging, metrics, audit trail)
• Integrate mapping/routing + messaging providers
• Establish security basics (auth, permissions, data handling)
• Work tightly with me to turn ops reality into product decisions fast

What I’m looking for (must-haves)

• Strong full-stack ability (frontend + backend + database)
• Comfortable shipping scrappy but solid MVPs quickly
• Experience with real-time location/tracking or event-driven systems is a big plus
• Good product instincts: you care about UX, edge cases, and operational workflows
• Calm under pressure, direct communicator, builder mentality

Nice-to-haves

• Routing/optimisation, ETA modelling, geofencing, fleet/dispatch tooling exposure
• Map APIs (Google/Mapbox), background jobs/queues, websockets
• Payments/invoicing, multi-tenant SaaS experience
• Familiarity with courier ops / gig workforce tooling

Tech direction (flexible)

I’m not religious about stack — I care about shipping. Typical fit: Next.js/React + Node or Python + Postgres (Supabase ok) + hosted infra. We’ll choose what gets us to pilots fastest.

What you get

• Co-founder equity (meaningful ownership; structure depends on commitment + contribution)
• Real-world problem, real feedback loop, fast iteration (no “build for months in a cave”)
• Operator founder who brings: courier network, pilot outreach, workflows, SLA reality, sales hustle
• A product with clear wedge: predictability + control beats “fast” when customers are fed up

Stage + what we lack

We’re ops-heavy and engineering-light. The gap is build ownership and shipping velocity.

That’s why this role matters.

How to apply

Send:

• A short intro + what you’re building/building history
• Your preferred stack
• 1–2 examples of products you’ve shipped (links, GitHub, or screenshots)
• Your availability (hours/week) and location (UK/remote)

Quick interview process

• 20-min founder chat (fit + speed + expectations)
• 45-min deep dive (architecture approach + MVP plan)
• Build sprint alignment (small scoped test or walkthrough of past work)
