  • API Architecture & Development: Lead the design and technical implementation of the API, ensuring scalability, performance, and ease of integration for developers.
  • Geospatial Technology Expertise: Bring deep knowledge in geospatial systems (GIS, 3D mapping, geohashing) to develop advanced features that support AR and blockchain applications.
  • Blockchain Integration: (Preferred) Leverage blockchain for features like land minting, proof-of-location, or secure geospatial transactions.
  • Technical Leadership: Help build and mentor a technical team to ensure seamless product delivery and foster a culture of innovation.
  • Stay on the Cutting Edge: Monitor industry trends in AR, fintech, and blockchain to ensure the platform remains competitive and adaptable.

  • Experience with AR applications, crypto transactions, or decentralized platforms is a big plus.
  • Passionate about innovation in AR, geospatial tech, and blockchain and eager to lead a growing startup through early stages of product development.
