Job Description

About Brikito

Brikito is an early-stage PropTech startup building a construction management platform for SME developers and contractors. The founder has 7+ years of hands-on construction experience and an MBA from Warwick Business School. 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.

This is a ground-floor opportunity. You will be the first technical hire — the person who makes every architecture decision and writes the first line of production code.

The Role

Title: CTO / Lead Full-Stack Developer (title depends on experience and equity arrangement)

Location: India (remote OK, occasional visits to Chennai office and overseas office planning to set up in Singapore or Dubai)

Type: Full-time

Compensation: ₹1,00,000–₹2,50,000/month + meaningful equity (0.5%–5% depending on role level, vesting over 4 years based on vesting schedule with a cliff.)

• Integrate payment gateway (Razorpay for India)
• Build both web and mobile-responsive interfaces
• Ship the MVP within 12 weeks
• Months 3–6: Iterate and ScaleOnboard beta users and fix bugs based on real usage
• Build features based on customer feedback (not assumptions)
• Integrate AI capabilities where they add clear user value (e.g., auto-generated progress reports)
• Hire and manage 1–2 junior developers as the team grows
• Set up monitoring, error tracking, and basic analytics
• Months 6–12: Lead the Technical TeamGrow the engineering team to 4–6 people
• Establish code review processes, documentation standards, and sprint rhythms
• Own the technical roadmap alongside the founder

• Required SkillsMust Have7+ years of professional software development experience
• Strong proficiency in React or Next.js (frontend)
• Strong proficiency in Node.js (backend) — Express, Nest.js, or similar
• PostgreSQL or MySQL — database design, query optimisation, migrations
• REST API design — clean, well-documented APIs
• Cloud deployment — AWS (EC2, RDS, S3) or GCP equivalent
• Expertise in AI tools and integrations - Anthropic, OpenAI, Perplexity, etc.
• Git — clean branching, PR-based workflow
• Has shipped at least one product that real users used — not just academic or internal tools
• Comfortable working independently — no one will tell you what to do step by step
• Strongly PreferredPrevious experience at a startup (Series A or earlier)
• Experience building SaaS or B2B products
• Experience with mobile development (React Native or Flutter)
• Experience integrating payment gateways (Razorpay, Stripe)

• Experience hiring and mentoring junior developers
• Open source contributions or a personal project portfolio

• 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
