CTO / Technical Co-Founder (Equity Only)

Remote | U.S.-Headquartered Stealth Startup (with Algeria hub)

Reinventing Supply Chains in Africa

Our partner is a stealth-mode startup headquartered in the U.S., with a strong hub in Algeria and advisors from Europe and the U.S. Our mission: to reinvent how supply chains work, starting in Algeria, scaling across Africa.

They already have a functional product built on a modern tech stack. Now they’re looking for a CTO (Chief Technology Officer) to join as a co-founder, take ownership of the technology, and guide them through the next stage: improving, scaling, and expanding features.

Your Role

As CTO, you won’t be building everything from scratch, but you will:

  • Take full ownership of the existing codebase and architecture
  • Ensure performance, scalability, and security as we grow
  • Oversee new feature development and product iterations
  • Make key technical and architectural decisions
  • Mentor developers as we expand the team
  • Work closely with founders, product, and design to align tech with business goals

Their Tech Stack

  • Frontend: React Native (Expo), Next.js, Tailwind CSS
  • Backend: Django, Django REST Framework
  • Auth: JWT (refresh/access tokens)
  • Data: PostgreSQL / SQLite
  • DevOps: GitHub Actions, VPS (Nginx + Gunicorn)
  • Docs & Testing: Swagger, PEP8, CI pipelines

You might be a fit If you

  • Have solid experience in both frontend (React Native/Next.js) and backend (Django)
  • Are confident managing and scaling existing systems
  • Care about clean architecture, security, and performance
  • Want to step into a leadership role (not just execution)
  • Are Algeria-based (preferred) and excited to join a global remote-first team
  • Believe in building not just a product, but a company with impact

What they offer

  • Equity as a co-founder (this is not a salaried role initially, they want someone who shares the vision and commits to the journey)
  • A functional product and a real market problem to solve
  • Autonomy and ownership over all technology decisions
  • Guidance from advisors in Europe and the U.S.
  • Occasional in-person meetups and team meals in Oran
  • A startup culture that values trust, curiosity, and impact
