Job Title : Founding-Software-Engineer
Job Type : Full Time
Company : SiteHost
Candidate Required Location : New Zealand
We're working with an early-stage startup building an AI-powered wearable and a connected software platform that work together to deliver personalised, real-time experiences.
This is a Founding Engineer role — you'll be one of the first technical hires, working directly with the founder to build the initial product end-to-end and shape the technical foundations of the company.
Build the first version of a wearable-connected software platform
Develop an early MVP web/laptop app that configures and syncs with the device
Work across frontend, backend, integrations, and infrastructure
Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate on product ideas
Help turn early concepts into a stable, demo-ready product
Act with a founder mindset: ownership, prioritisation, and pragmatic decision-making
Strong full-stack engineer comfortable owning systems end-to-end
Experience shipping MVPs or early-stage products
Comfortable working in ambiguity and moving fast without heavy process
Independent problem-solver who doesn't need hand-holding
Clear communicator — direct, proactive, and practical
3–7+ years of hands-on engineering experience (or equivalent depth)
Startup, scale-up, or solo-builder experience is a strong plus
(Not fixed — you'll help shape it)
Frontend: React
Backend: Node.js or Python
APIs, AI integrations, and modern cloud tooling
Lightweight, pragmatic stack focused on speed and reliability
Fully remote
Minimum 20 hours/week (full-time preferred)
Some overlap with NZ time zone
Direct collaboration with the founder
Founding-level equity for the right hire
High ownership and real influence on product and direction
Opportunity to build from zero, not maintain legacy
Early-stage, high-impact, builder-first environment
Deeper product and technical details will be shared directly by the founder at the next stage.
