Technical co-founder

Technical Co-Founder / CTO — HiyaCoachLocation: London / Hybrid Type: Co-Founder Compensation: Equity + salary following fundingThe short versionI've built a live marketplace. Coaches are onboarding. I need a technical co-founder who's actually shipped consumer products before, to take this from "working web app" to "app people can't live without."What HiyaCoach isOne place to find, compare and book the right coach. PTs, padel coaches, tennis coaches, yoga instructors, and eventually every kind of coach there is.This isn't a pitch deck. The product is live. Coaches are joining. Real people are booking real sessions right now.Why I need youI've taken this as far as I can solo. The web app works. Now it needs to become a proper mobile product, built to scale, built to last. That's not a job for a freelancer or an agency. It's a job for someone who wants to own it.What you've actually done beforeI care about what you've shipped, not what you've managed. You should have:Built and launched real consumer apps, not just overseen themShipped for both iOS and AndroidBuilt a two-sided marketplace, and know why they're architecturally different from everything elseWired up payments, ideally Stripe or similar marketplace infrastructureBuilt booking, availability and scheduling systemsBuilt auth, profiles, messaging and notifications from scratchSolid backend, API and database chopsTaken something from MVP to a product that holds up at scaleEnough judgment on security and payments to sleep at nightThe instinct to make fast, pragmatic calls when there's no playbookBonus points for search/location, video, subscriptions, reviews, or matching and recommendation systems.What you'll ownNot tickets. Direction.The existing web app and stackThe architecture for what HiyaCoach becomes nextNative iOS and Android, built and launchedMarketplace, booking and payments infrastructureThe technical decisions that let this scale internationallyThe engineering team we build from hereProduct strategy and roadmap, alongside meWhere this goesHiyaCoach isn't "a fitness app." It's the answer to "I need a coach," whatever that means for that person, PT today, padel coach tomorrow, something else entirely down the line. I'm building the company for that. I want a co-founder who sees that scale and wants it too.This isn't for you ifYou want a CTO title, a big salary, a team already in place, and a 9-to-5. That's not what this is. Some mornings you're deciding on architecture. Some afternoons you're fixing a bug a user found in the weirdest possible way. That's the job.Get in touchTell me what you've built before and why HiyaCoach is the thing that gets you fired up. Let's talk.
