Part-Time Tech Lead (m/f/d) Mobile App & Platform

**Build the Future of Live Entertainment.**

Most people still discover events the same way they did 10 years ago: through social media noise, scattered websites, and endless searching.

We believe there is a better way.

At Louco, we are building an AI-powered platform that redefines how people discover experiences, connect with communities, and create unforgettable moments in real life.

Our vision is ambitious: to become the intelligent layer between millions of people and the live entertainment industry.

Backed by investors and preparing for our next growth phase, we are looking for a Part-Time Tech Lead who wants more than just another freelance project.

We are looking for someone who wants to help shape a product from the ground up, influence strategic technology decisions, lead talented developers, and leave a lasting impact on an industry that has barely changed in decades.

If you enjoy taking ownership, solving complex challenges, building scalable technology, and turning bold ideas into reality, we'd love to meet you.

**Your Mission**

We are looking for a proactive Tech Lead who takes ownership of our technology landscape and drives execution across our mobile app, web platform, and backend ecosystem.

You will serve as the primary technical counterpart to our founders, Product Manager, and development team, ensuring that business goals are translated into scalable and high-quality technical solutions.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working in startups, thinking strategically, solving technical challenges, and leading developers without unnecessary bureaucracy.

• Review architecture decisions, code quality, scalability, and technical feasibility
• Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, estimation, and release planning
• Identify technical risks and proactively propose solutions
• Support API integrations with external partners and third-party platforms
• Coordinate technical implementation across mobile app, backend, and web platform
• Ensure development follows best practices and quality standards
• Drive continuous improvement of development processes and workflows
• Evaluate and introduce modern technologies, AI tools, and automation opportunities
• Support QA processes, feature validation, and release readiness

## Requirements

**Required Experience**

• Proven experience as a Tech Lead, Senior Software Engineer, Engineering Manager, Technical Project Manager, Product Owner, or similar leadership role in software development environments

• Excellent English communication skills (written and spoken)

**Nice to Have**

• Experience with AI-powered products, recommendation systems, or machine learning-driven applications
• Familiarity with AI tools that improve software development, productivity, and automation
• Experience with Supabase, Firebase, AWS, or modern cloud platforms
• Experience in startups or early-stage companies
• Experience with event, marketplace, SaaS, consumer, or platform businesses
• Experience scaling products from early-stage growth to larger user bases

**What We Expect**

• Strong ownership mentality and accountability for outcomes
• A builder mindset with a passion for creating products, solving problems, and driving execution
• Startup or early-stage company mentality — comfortable working in fast-moving environments with changing priorities
• Ability to make pragmatic decisions and balance speed, quality, and scalability

• Strategic thinking combined with hands-on execution
• Comfortable working closely with founders and helping shape technical and product decisions
• Reliable, self-driven, and highly accountable
• Passion for building products that can scale and make a meaningful impact

**We are not looking for a corporate manager. We are looking for a builder who takes ownership, helps teams move faster, and enjoys turning ambitious ideas into real products.**

## Benefits

• Part-Time (60–80 hours per month)
• Remote
• Long-term collaboration
• Flexible working hours
• Competitive hourly rate depending on experience

We are not looking for someone who simply completes tickets. We are looking for someone who takes responsibility, guides the team, challenges decisions when necessary, and helps us build a scalable product for the future.

If you're excited about building products that impact millions of people and want to help reshape the future of live entertainment, we'd love to hear from you.

Please send us your CV or LinkedIn profile, a short introduction about yourself and your motivation (a few paragraphs are enough), and any relevant references, recommendations, or projects that demonstrate your experience.

We care less about lengthy cover letters and more about ownership, execution, and the impact you've created throughout your career.
