Technical Co-Builder / Full-Stack Developer

Remote | Part-time welcome | Equity-based | No salary at present

About Venguild

Venguild is building a gamified career ecosystem that combines professional networking and job discovery with RPG-style progression. We connect real-world skills, credentials, and achievements with an interactive experience designed to make career growth more engaging.

Our MVP is live. We’re looking for an experienced, hands-on technical co-builder to help our existing team deliver features faster, improve platform reliability, and prepare for mobile development.

The Arrangement

We are bootstrapped. This opportunity currently offers equity without a salary. Equity allocation, vesting, responsibilities, and time commitment will be discussed and agreed in writing before work begins.

Part-time participation is welcome. We value a realistic, consistent weekly commitment, clear communication, and dependable delivery. Future paid compensation depends on sufficient funding or revenue and is not guaranteed.

What You’ll Do

• Build and improve core features across professional profiles, job discovery, networking, and gamified progression.
• Work across frontend interfaces, backend services, APIs, databases, and integrations.
• Identify development bottlenecks and turn product priorities into manageable releases.
• Review code, troubleshoot issues, and support junior developers.
• Improve application performance, security, testing, and maintainability.
• Contribute to architecture, deployment, and technical planning.
• Help assess our mobile approach and contribute to mobile development where your skills fit.

Core Skills

• Demonstrated experience shipping and maintaining full-stack web applications.
• Strong JavaScript/TypeScript skills and experience with a modern frontend framework.
• Backend development experience covering APIs, authentication, and database design.
• Ability to understand and improve an existing codebase.
• Familiarity with Git, code reviews, testing, and deployment workflows.
• Practical understanding of responsive design, accessibility, and application security.
• Ability to make sensible technical decisions within limited resources.

Desired Skills

• Mobile development experience using React Native, Flutter, or native Android/iOS technologies.
• Experience connecting mobile applications to backend APIs and authentication services.
• Familiarity with mobile testing, performance, and app store releases.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS.
• Experience building social platforms, messaging, notifications, or gamification features.
• Experience mentoring junior developers or working in an early-stage startup.

You do not need to know every technology listed. Strong full-stack capability is the priority; mobile development experience is a significant advantage.

Who We’re Looking For

Someone who enjoys building, communicates openly, and follows through on agreed commitments. You should be comfortable collaborating with an existing team, explaining technical tradeoffs, and sharing responsibility for the product’s progress.

A degree is optional. Demonstrated ability, sound judgment, and relevant work matter most.

Confidentiality and Agreements

You must be willing to review and sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and a non-compete agreement (NCA), with scope, duration, and terms discussed before signing. Equity, intellectual property ownership, and collaboration terms will also be documented before work begins.
