Job Description
We are building a Digital Concierge Platform for 2-4 star hotels that transforms every hotel room into a digital sales channel for local services. Guests discover and book experiences, wellness, dining, and more via a simple QR code, while hotels unlock new revenue streams without additional operational effort.
The founding team consists of two experienced and successful entrepreneurs with a strong track record in building and scaling companies.
Our next step: build the MVP, launch pilot hotels and partners, and raise seed funding.
Your Role
As CTO, you are a technical co-founder responsible for building the entire platform: from architecture to launch.
You will work directly with the founders and have full ownership of the product and tech vision.
Tasks
Phase 1: MVP (0-3 months)
- Define and build the technical architecture
- Develop a mobile-first web or app MVP
- Implement core features:
- QR-based entry experience
- Location-based content delivery
- Booking and payment flows (via APIs)
- Rapid iteration with real pilot customers
Phase 2: Validation & Fundraising
- Stabilize and scale the platform
- Integrate initial partners (via APIs or manual onboarding)
- Support technical due diligence with investors
Requirements
Strong full-stack engineering background (e.g., React / Next.js / Node / Python or similar)
- Proven experience building MVPs and scalable platforms
- Product mindset—you think in solutions, not just features
- Ideally experience with:
- Marketplace models
- Booking and payment integrations
- Location-based services
- Hands-on builder mentality with the ability to scale into a leadership role
- Startup mindset: speed over perfection
Benefits
- Equity-based co-founder role
- Opportunity to build a globally scalable product from scratch
- Close collaboration with experienced serial entrepreneurs
- Clear vision with a strong, revenue-driven business model
Compensation
- No salary for the first 3-4 months
- Focus: build MVP & secure funding
- Salary and team expansion after successful fundraising
Why This Is Exciting
- Large, clearly defined global market (hotels worldwide)
- Immediate monetization potential (commission-based model)
- Not a "nice-to-have," but a revenue engine for hotels
- Strong go-to-market strategy (QR + co-branding + local partnerships)
