Lead FS Dev for Ride-Hailing Platform MVP (Closed)

Overview:

Are you ready to help build the next game-changing unicorn? We're developing a revolutionary ride-hailing platform, designed to take on Uber, Bolt, and the rest-starting in the UK and expanding globally. Our vision is ambitious: to create the first UK-based ride-hailing unicorn. We're operating in stealth mode, and we're looking for a tenacious, ambitious, and hungry full-stack developer who's ready to be part of this journey.

This isn't just another job-this is your opportunity to play a pivotal role in a disruptive platform that empowers drivers with a SaaS subscription model and a profit-sharing system that rewards based on activity and engagement. If successful, you'll have the chance to transition into a technical co-founder role, helping take the MVP to global markets.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the development of the ride-hailing platform MVP, including cross-platform mobile apps using React Native and a responsive web app using React.js.
• Architect and implement scalable backend services with Node.js (or Python/Django) and RESTful APIs.
• Build a profit-sharing module that rewards drivers based on their activity and monthly performance.
• Develop and manage the SaaS subscription system for drivers, including tiered pricing based on vehicle type and commission.
• Integrate payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal) to manage ride payments and subscriptions.
• Implement geolocation services via Google Maps API for real-time ride tracking and route optimization.
• Ensure robust user authentication and security protocols using OAuth 2.0 and JWT.
  

Required Skills & Experience:

• Frontend: Proven experience (2+ years) with React Native for mobile app development (iOS/Android) and React.js for web app development.
• Backend: Expertise in Node.js (or Python/Django) for backend services and building RESTful APIs.
• Experience building SaaS subscription platforms and integrating profit-sharing or loyalty programs.
• Strong familiarity with PostgreSQL and Redis for database management and caching.
• Hands-on experience with Stripe and PayPal for payment and subscription processing.
• Knowledge of Google Maps API and geolocation services.
• Strong security background with OAuth 2.0, JWT, and encryption.
  

Nice to Have:

• Experience in ride-hailing, mobility, or logistics platforms.
• Experience scaling MVPs into successful global platforms.
• Knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) for hosting and managing services.
  

Why Join Us?

• High Ambition: We are aiming to compete with and disrupt Uber and Bolt. You'll be on the ground floor of a startup with unicorn potential.
• Profit Sharing: Benefit from a profit-sharing system that rewards based on the success of the platform.
• Co-Founder Potential: For the right person, this role could evolve into a technical co-founder position.
• Flexibility: Remote work with the autonomy to shape the future of this platform.
