Role description
About Cirqqle In a world where 40% of adults report loneliness and Gen Z averages 9+ hours daily online, Cirqqle offers an antidote. With AI and ML rapidly transforming our digital landscape, they will further disconnect society as we grow increasingly digitally dependent. We are building the next social networking platform to combat digital isolation, bridging the gap between online audiences and communities by transforming them into real-world relationships. Join us to leverage the latest tech to create a future where technology fosters authentic human connections. Our onboarding is frictionless, and we enhance existing communities in a unique way that will drive adoption.
The Role We’re seeking a Technical Co-Founder to lead Cirqqle’s tech vision and finalize our MVP, which is currently 80% complete, for a pilot launch targeting 30,000 users. The role will be predominantly hands-on, with the opportunity to grow and manage your technical team to support development. We are looking for someone who shares our vision and is relentless in ensuring the product reaches the market potential, connecting society in an unprecedented way. While age and experience are welcome, they are not imperative for this application. You should be an innovative problem-solver with a strong drive to create something impactful and address the real-world challenge of digital isolation.
What You’ll Do
● Build and scale our platform using React Native, Supabase, and APIs (MVP Tech Stack).
● Pitch alongside the founder to investors.
● Plan scalability for PWA, iOS, and Android avenues post-investment.
● Lead the development of AI/ML features.
● Architect a seamless, privacy-first user experience.
● Transition to strategic leadership post-Series A, hiring top talent and ensuring rapid shipping while the founder focuses on growth and partnerships.
● Be willing to relocate for Y Combinator (San Francisco).
Who You Are
● A hands-on technical leader with experience in React Native, APIs, mobile applications, and scalable backends.
● Passionate about combating digital isolation and building tech that fosters human connection.
● A collaborator who thrives in high-pressure environments (think YC’s 3-month sprint).
● Bonus: Experience with AI/ML for community building or event optimization.
● Strong algorithmic experience.
Team
● Founder - Dylan: Your go-to-market (GTM) founder, formerly owning a marketing agency, managed teams of 30+ with £2 million in ARR, with domain experience as a UI/UX designer I am deeply compelled to create a lasting social impact. I'm currently leading development however after finding the right co-founder I will shift to front end design, raising capital, Pre/post launch strategy driving users, adoption, and managing feedback for development.
● Advisor - Founder of Newfangled Games: A BAFTA-nominated, multi-award-winning company that’s received millions through multiple investment rounds.
Why Join Cirqqle?
● Impact: Be part of a societal shift—turn digital consumption into real-world relationships.
● Equity: Significant equal ownership (49%) in a high-growth startup with uncapped ambitions.
● Vision: Help redefine the way we socially connect, scaling to millions of offline connections globally.
Our Mantra We’re not building an app—we’re rebuilding how people connect. Success isn’t downloads; it’s meetups hosted and bonds formed. Ready to make Cirqqle the antidote to a lonely, screen-addicted world? Let’s build it together!
