About this role
About NumeriQu
NumeriQu is a profitability intelligence platform built from real operating experience. We help founders and leaders turn financial data into clear, actionable insights.
We are early, focused, and building with intent.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Founding Tech Lead who will own the technical backbone of NumeriQu.
This is not a “follow-the-requirements” role.
You will work directly with the founders to:
Translate business problems into technical solutions
Design and build a scalable backend architecture
Make early decisions that shape the future of the product
This role is expected to grow into a CTO role as the company scales.
What You’ll Work On
Designing and building the core backend architecture
Integrating with multiple data sources (financial, operational, APIs)
Designing databases and data models for analytics and reporting
Building reliable data pipelines
Exploring and integrating AI/ML capabilities where they add real value
Making pragmatic decisions around scalability, performance, and security
Who This Role Is For
You don’t need 15 years of experience. You do need:
Strong problem-solving ability and system thinking
The ability to understand business needs and turn them into clean technical designs
Comfort making decisions with imperfect information
A builder mindset — ownership, curiosity, and accountability
The ambition to grow into a CTO-level role
If you enjoy figuring things out more than being told exactly what to build, this role is for you.
Technical Expectations (Keep It Practical)
Experience building backend systems (any modern stack)
Understanding of APIs, databases, and integrations
Comfort working with data (ETL, analytics, reporting)
Incorporate data security into everyday life since we deal with financial data
Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS / GCP / Azure)
Interest in AI/ML (hands-on experience is a plus, not mandatory)
Compensation & Upside
Below-market salary (by design, at this stage)
Meaningful equity / long-term upside
Direct influence on product, architecture, and company direction
Clear path to CTO role as NumeriQu grows
We are looking for someone who values ownership and long-term impact over short-term compensation.
