Brikito is an early-stage PropTech startup building a construction management platform for SME developers and contractors.

We have initial funding, a domain (brikito.com), wireframes ready, and active customer validation underway. We need our first technical leader to take this from wireframes to a live product.

• What We Are NOT Looking ForSomeone who needs detailed specifications for every task — we move fast and figure things out together
• Someone who only wants to code and not think about the product — you will be in customer calls and strategy discussions
• Someone who optimises for perfect code over shipping — we ship first, refactor later
• Someone looking for a stable corporate job — this is a startup with all the chaos and excitement that comes with it

• What You GetEquity ownership in an early-stage company with a large addressable market ($14.9B global construction SaaS)
• Founding team credit — you will be recognised as a technical co-founder if you take the CTO role
• Direct impact — every line of code you write will be used by real customers within weeks
• Technical freedom — you choose the stack, the tools, the architecture
• A founder who understands the domain — you will never have to guess what contractors need because the CEO has built construction projects himself
• Growth path — as we raise funding and scale, you grow into VP Engineering or CTO of a funded company
