Jobbeschreibung

Tripchainer
is revolutionizing hotel booking by solving a €15B/year problem for independent hotels trapped by expensive OTA commissions. We're building a next-generation platform using AI and patent-pending technology that gives hotels pricing control while delivering better experiences for travelers.

We're incorporated (Munich), have a prototype waiting for your magic finish touches and validated demand. Now we're ready to grow—and we need a technical co-founder to build it with us.

Role Description

This is a full-time Co-Founder / CTO role
(on-site in Greater Munich Metropolitan Area).

As
Technical Co-Founder
, you will:

Own all technology decisions:
architecture, tech stack, infrastructure, and product implementation
Finish the MVP
with the help of our mentors and consultants from validated specifications (Months 1-4)
Lead engineering strategy
as we scale from prototype to production
Hire and manage
the engineering team as we grow (starting Month 6+)
Present technical vision
to investors during fundraising rounds
Implement patent-pending technology
that creates our competitive moat

You'll work alongside the founding CEO (hospitality + product expert) who handles customer discovery, partnerships, fundraising, and go-to-market—giving you full autonomy on the tech side.

What You Get

Founding equity

4-year vesting, 1-year cliff (standard startup structure)

CTO title
with full ownership of technical decisions

De-risked opportunity:

Incorporated company (legal foundation complete)
Prototype (you're not starting from zero)
Validated hotel conversations (demand proven)
Patent-pending technology (IP protection in place)

Clear path to growth:

Months 1-3: Build MVP together (bootstrap phase)
Months 4-6: Launch and validate with real users
Months 7-9: Scale and raise Seed funding
Month 10+: Market-rate salary (€70-90K) + hire your team

Partnership structure:

You own: Tech, engineering, architecture, team hiring
Founder owns: Product, customers, fundraising, partnerships
Weekly sync, but full autonomy on execution

Qualifications (Must-Have)

✓ 5+ years
shipping production web/mobile applications end-to-end

✓
Full-stack capability:
Modern JavaScript frameworks (React/Vue) + backend or similar)

✓
Cloud deployment experience:
GCP, AWS, or Azure

✓
Payment & compliance:
Experience with Stripe/payment integrations, GDPR, PCI DSS, or security requirements

✓
Database & API design:
PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Firebase, or similar

✓
Leadership capability:
Led technical architecture decisions, built products from scratch (0-to-launch), or mentored engineers

✓
Entrepreneurial mindset:
Willing to bootstrap initially (3 months with no guaranteed salary), then scale compensation with traction

✓
Availability:
Can start full-time within 4 weeks

Qualifications (Nice-to-Have)

⊕ Experience with blockchain, Web3, or AI/ML
(we have patent-pending blockchain technology)

⊕ Experience building
marketplaces or matching platforms

⊕ Startup experience:
Worked at a startup <20 people or co-founded before

⊕
Travel, hospitality, or fintech
domain knowledge

What We're NOT Looking For

✗ You need a guaranteed salary immediately (we bootstrap 1-6 month)

✗ You want to be CEO (founding CEO role is filled; you own tech strategy)

✗ You're risk-averse (early-stage startups have inherent uncertainty)

✗ You're looking for a job, not a founding role (this is equity + conviction, not a paycheck)

Why Join Tripchainer?

Massive market:
€400B hotel booking industry, €15B/year lost to OTA commissions

Patent-pending moat:
Our core technology is protected (competitors can't easily copy)

Validated demand: Hotel and Traveler

Past the idea phase:
Incorporated company, working prototype, clear 16 months roadmap

True partnership:
You're founder #2, not employee #1 taking orders

How to Apply

Your LinkedIn
or GitHub/portfolio
2-3 shipped projects
(links + your role)

for this opportunity
Answers to these questions:
Can you work 6-9 months full-time with €0 guaranteed salary?
