About RoomReview
RoomReview is building a platform designed to make renting more transparent by giving tenants a place to share real experiences about properties and areas. Our mission is simple: help people make better rental decisions through real experiences and data.
We are now looking for an experienced CTO / Technical Co-Founder who genuinely believes in this mission and wants to help us build RoomReview into a scalable product.
The Role
We are looking for someone who can take ownership of the technical side of RoomReview, maintain and improve our existing platform, and work closely with the founders as we move from product development towards traction and revenue.
This is not a traditional 9–5 CTO position at this stage. We are looking for someone who is genuinely interested in the idea and wants to become part of the journey.
What you will do
- Take technical ownership of the RoomReview platform
- Develop and maintain the platform using React
- Work with our existing backend/API infrastructure
- Improve performance, usability and scalability
- Implement new product features together with the founders
- Connect frontend, backend and third-party services where required
- Maintain and improve our existing codebase
- Support technical decisions and product development
- Help establish a reliable technical foundation for future growth
- Work closely with the founders, designers and other contributors
- Help shape the long-term technical roadmap

First-Year Commitment & Compensation
As an early-stage startup, RoomReview is currently in the pre-revenue growth stage. We are looking for a CTO who is willing to join us at this stage, contribute to building and maintaining the platform, and grow with the company.
The initial commitment is 12 months, focused on developing the product, building traction and establishing the business model. As RoomReview reaches sustainable revenue, the CTO will move into a paid position.
Following the first year, based on contribution, commitment and the company's progress, we would also be open to discussing an equity opportunity as part of the long-term role. Any equity arrangement would be agreed separately and formally.
