About the role

  • Partner directly with the CEO to co-lead Wavess as a true co-founder.
  • Build and lead development of both products (LinkedIn tool + Wavess 2.0 platform).
  • Design the technical architecture: data pipelines, integrations, AI/ML-driven features.
  • Write and ship the first iterations of Wavess 2.0 (hands-on coding).
  • Translate customer feedback into technical execution and rapid iterations.
  • Recruit and grow the engineering team.

Requirements

  • A hands-on technical builder who wants ownership, not employment.
  • Strong background in SaaS, data platforms, and AI/ML (bonus: fintech exposure).
  • Customer-obsessed: you thrive on building products that solve real pain points and love iterating with feedback.
  • Comfortable coding MVPs quickly, then scaling into a robust platform.
  • Able to build and lead a team as we grow, balancing vision with day-to-day execution.
  • Ready to work under pressure, move fast, and still be smart about tech debt and scalability.
  • Motivated by equity upside and the challenge of building zero-to-one.
Benefits
  • True co-founder equity: a meaningful stake in Wavess with a milestone-based structure so ownership grows directly with traction (pilots, ARR, funding).
  • No salary now but the upside of building something that can define a category in fintech SaaS.
  • A clean cap table: you’d be joining early, with the chance to shape both product and company DNA.
  • The opportunity to lead tech and product end-to-end — not just build features, but architect the platform, shape the roadmap, and set the technical culture.
  • Direct customer exposure from day one — working closely with fintech teams already engaged with Wavess.
  • A founder seat with long-term impact: from zero-to-one MVPs to scaling a full engineering team.
  • The excitement (and chaos) of building at the earliest stage, where every line of code and every decision matters.
