Tech Co-Founder — AI Developer | Brisbane

Tontongue is a fast-growing startup transforming the way people experience global events.

We deliver simultaneous interpretation, Silent Talks, and AI-generated event summaries — all directly to the participant’s smartphone.

Our platform has powered events like SXSW Texas, Rio2C, MCI, and AUSIT Conference, across four continents.

We’re now expanding our AI ecosystem — combining voice, video, and natural language processing to make content truly borderless.

Who we’re looking for

A senior developer (8+ years of experience) based in Brisbane, with a deep technical mindset and entrepreneurial spirit.

You don’t need to leave your current job just yet — we already have a tech team in place — but you should be ready to help us shape the next generation of our platform.

Ideal profile

> Solid experience in backend and infrastructure development (Node.js, Laravel, AWS EC2, Nginx, Apache, Aurora/MariaDB).

> Hands-on understanding of AI and machine learning fundamentals — beyond just using tools like ChatGPT.

> Experience with real-time systems, streaming, or scalable APIs is a big plus.

> Comfortable collaborating with designers, interpreters, and event specialists in a global startup environment.

> Strong problem-solver, curious, and growth-oriented.

What’s next

This is a co-founder opportunity, not a regular job.

You’ll join the leadership circle, help define our AI roadmap, and participate in equity discussions as we prepare for the next funding round.
