What We Are Looking For

Ideally, you will have strong experience in several of the following:

• React Native
• React
• TypeScript
• Node.js / Laravel
• Python
• C++
• REST APIs
• PostgreSQL
• Modern authentication and authorisation
• Cloud infrastructure
• Docker
• Linux
• Automated testing
• Git-based development workflows

Experience building AI-enabled, real-time, security-sensitive or regulated-industry software would be particularly valuable.

The Kind of Developer We Want

Technical ability is important, but ownership matters just as much.

We are looking for someone who:

• Takes responsibility for outcomes
• Works independently
• Communicates consistently
• Keeps agreed commitments
• Tests their own work thoroughly
• Raises blockers early
• Documents important technical decisions
• Challenges weak technical assumptions
• Thinks beyond the immediate task
• Can move between frontend, backend and systems problems
• Understands the difference between prototype code and production software
• Wants to help build a company, not simply contribute code

Co-Founder Expectations

As a Co-Founder, you will have the opportunity to influence:

• Technical architecture
• Product development
• Engineering standards
• Technology strategy
• Development priorities
• Technical hiring
• Pilot delivery
• Future engineering team structure

We expect Co-Founders to contribute proactively to the direction of the business rather than operate purely as contractors.

Current Stage

SIP is currently pre-funded and pre-revenue.

The immediate focus is progressing the product toward:

MVP → Demonstration → Pilot Deployments → Commercial Licensing

Further details concerning SIP’s proprietary architecture, intellectual property and product methodology will only be disclosed to suitable candidates during the recruitment process and, where appropriate, following confidentiality arrangements.

Commitment

Part-time.

We recognise that an equity-only opportunity means candidates are likely to maintain existing employment, consulting or other professional commitments.

We therefore focus on consistent contribution rather than arbitrary working hours.

However, reliability is essential.

If you agree to meetings, development commitments or delivery milestones, we expect them to be treated professionally.

Compensation

Equity only at the current stage.

There is currently no salary or guaranteed cash compensation.

Equity will reflect factors including:

• Experience
• Role
• Responsibility
• Contribution
• Commitment
• Delivery
• Continued involvement

Any equity award will be formally documented and subject to appropriate vesting and founder/shareholder agreements.

The intention is to build long-term value together, not distribute equity simply for joining the project.

Why Join Us?

SIP operates at the intersection of:

• AI
• Software engineering
• Mobile technology
• Security
• RegTech
• Safeguarding
• Risk management
• Enterprise technology

It is an opportunity to help shape a technology company at founding stage and contribute directly to a product intended to address a serious real-world problem.

For the right engineer, this is an opportunity to move beyond being another developer inside somebody else’s roadmap and become one of the people defining the roadmap.

How to Apply

Please apply on LinkedIn with your CV.

Important: this is currently a part-time, equity-only Co-Founder opportunity. Please only apply if you understand and are comfortable with that structure.
