SENIORITY
Lead
About the role
- Pressure testing our V1 scope and helping us decide what makes the cut and what waits
- Advising on architecture, data model and tech stack for a mobile first consumer app
- Weighing build versus buy, and helping us pick and manage an agency or contract team
- Setting up the skill graph and sequencing logic so new content drops in without new code
- Building privacy in from day one for a product used by young kids, with COPPA in mind
- Making sure the data we capture in V1 sets up smarter personalization later
- Being a thought partner to the founder on product roadmap, hiring and technical diligence with investors
- You've shipped at least one consumer app from zero to one, ideally mobile
- You can talk system design with engineers and product tradeoffs with a founder
- You've owned product decisions, not just delivered tickets
- You're comfortable with scrappy, early stage work and a fast moving founder
- Bonus if you've worked in kids, family, edtech, fitness or sports tech
- Bonus if you've built recommendation, sequencing or learning path products
- Bonus if you've worked under COPPA or similar privacy rules
- The commitment
- This is an advisory role of about 5-10 hours per month to start, with advisory equity. Possible cash stipend available based off fit. Where this could go:
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
