Racster | Founding Engineer / Technical Lead | REMOTE (Europe, MEA, Asia) | PART-TIME/FULL-TIME | €20 - €40/hr + Equity

Project: Racster (SportsTech - The future of racket sports booking and community) Stage: Independent / Pre-incorporation About Racster: We are building a massive racket sports community and booking platform. Over the past two months, we successfully validated our MVP with hundreds of active tennis club clients. Racster was born out of 5 years of hands-on experience running our own tennis club, experiencing the limitations of existing market solutions firsthand. We are moving away from an external development agency to build a dedicated internal core team. We need a founding engineer to join us at an early stage to help shape architecture, product decisions, and the future direction of the platform. Who We Are Looking For: * Systems Architect: You design systems that remain simple, scalable, maintainable, and cost-efficient. * Laravel Expert: Our core ecosystem is built on Laravel; you must know it inside out. * SaaS & Booking Experience: Hands-on experience building SaaS platforms, marketplaces, or high-volume transaction apps. * AI-Driven Workflow: AI is a core part of your development workflow, using it extensively to accelerate delivery and reduce repetitive work. * Product Mindset: You actively simplify complexity and care about creating the best product, not writing the most code. * English Fluency: Fully fluent in spoken and written English. What We Offer: * A key role defining the architecture, product direction, and technical standards. * Competitive hourly rate: €20–40/h with long-term, milestone-based engagement. * Generous equity/shares package through a vesting schedule. We are looking for candidates excited by long-term ownership. * 100% remote flexibility (ideally matching Europe to Asia time zones). How to Apply: Please send your CV and a brief cover letter answering: 1. Why do you want to join us? 2. How effectively do you use AI in your programming workflow? Email: [email protected]
