Senior Full-Stack Developer (CTO Track)

Location: Remote
Type: Full-time, Independent Contractor
Industry: Youth Sports / Athlete Development Tech

About Us
We’re building a vertically integrated athlete development platform — combining mobile-first training, content delivery, and performance tools for youth hockey players. Our company owns and operates a junior hockey team, the largest indoor ice arena in the Southeast US, and is now scaling a tech platform to deliver a complete development ecosystem on and off the ice.

We’ve built a working MVP with an external dev shop, and now we’re ready to bring development in-house. We’re looking for a Senior Full-Stack Developer who can take ownership of the product, audit and evolve the existing stack, and grow into a CTO-level leadership role over time.

What You’ll Do

Take full ownership of the codebase across mobile, backend, and web admin panel
Audit and document the existing MVP (built in Ruby on Rails, Flutter, and React)
Lead future development of new features, API integrations, and internal tooling
Manage offshore developers, freelancers, and vendors
Work closely with the founder to align engineering roadmap with product goals
Architect for scale, performance, and reliability
Establish coding best practices, devops workflows, and infrastructure documentation
Lead hiring efforts as the team grows (engineers, QA, etc.)

Our Current Stack

Mobile: Flutter (Dart)
Backend: Ruby on Rails (JSON APIs)
Frontend / Admin Panel: React + TypeScript (TSX)
Infra: GitLab, Terraform (HCL), CI/CD pipelines
Cloud: AWS

Non-Negotiable Requirements

5+ years of full-stack experience building and maintaining production web/mobile applications
Expertise in Ruby on Rails — comfortable working with APIs, business logic, and database integrations
Experience with Flutter (Dart) — ideally having shipped at least one cross-platform mobile app
Proficiency in React + TypeScript
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform a plus)
Experience managing offshore or remote dev teams
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate directly with non-technical stakeholders
Startup-ready: resourceful, independent, and motivated by fast-paced environments

Nice-to-Haves

DevOps experience: AWS, Heroku, Firebase, etc.
Interest in youth sports, coaching, or training platforms
Prior experience scaling MVPs or launching v1.0 products
Experience integrating video content, subscriptions, or LMS-like features

Why Join Us

Work directly with the founder (who also owns the physical assets behind the app)
Shape the product and tech stack from the ground up
Clear path to CTO or Head of Engineering
Mission-driven team passionate about developing the next generation of athletes
