This role will collaborate closely with the founding team on product strategy, customer discovery, and integration with pilot brand environments.

The Technical Cofounder will also establish engineering best practices, select appropriate tools and frameworks, and ensure the platform is secure, scalable, and maintainable. As a cofounding partner, this role includes significant ownership, involvement in fundraising and investor conversations, and leadership in building the initial engineering team.
