Overview
YieldLoop is a fintech startup developing a verified savings and automation platform that combines blockchain transparency with real-world financial trust. We’re seeking a Co-Founder & CTO to build the technical foundation of YieldLoop, lead the product team, and help shape the company’s direction from concept through launch and scale.
This is a founding role — you’ll work side‑by‑side with the Founder to build the company’s MVP, attract funding, and establish the long‑term technical vision of both YieldLoop and LOOP LAB , our education and innovation hub.
Core Responsibilities
Technical Leadership
Architect and lead development of the YieldLoop MVP and supporting systems (smart contracts, dashboards, API integrations, etc.).
Build the verified savings engine — a transparent, automated system that compounds only confirmed profits.
Select and manage technology stack (Base / ETH network, smart contracts, front-end, databases, APIs).
Oversee system architecture, scalability, uptime, and cybersecurity.
Manage or recruit developers, auditors, and technical partners.
Maintain clean, auditable, and secure code standards.
Strategic & Co‑Founding Responsibilities
Collaborate directly with the Founder on company direction, milestones, and investor strategy.
Represent the technical side in investor meetings, accelerator applications, and grant processes.
Help define and refine business models, tokenomics, and technical IP for patent filings.
Participate in governance, long‑term strategy, and hiring key staff as the company scales.
Contribute to fundraising, pitch materials, and partnerships from a technical perspective.
Serve as a public‑facing voice for YieldLoop’s innovation and technology roadmap.
LOOP LAB Integration
Guide development of educational programs in fintech, automation, renewable energy, and full‑stack technology.
Mentor interns, students, and local participants involved in LOOP LAB projects.
Support collaboration between LOOP LAB and external industry or academic partners.
Qualifications
Strong experience in blockchain or full‑stack software engineering (Solidity, Python, React, Node, etc.).
Experience with DeFi, fintech infrastructure, or smart‑contract auditing preferred.
Ability to work in a lean, early‑stage startup environment with high autonomy and shared responsibility.
Visionary yet practical — capable of building and scaling production‑ready systems.
Entrepreneurial mindset and readiness to commit to a co‑founder role with equity ownership.
Compensation
Initial compensation via founder equity , transitioning to salary post‑funding.
Includes shared decision‑making authority and governance participation.
