• Lead containerization efforts (Docker, Kubernetes) to improve deployment efficiency and enable scalable infrastructure.
• Ensure comprehensive data security compliance, managing risks tied to high-volume financial transactions.
• Develop adaptable algorithms that enhance platform performance, allowing the system to scale as user demand increases.
• Implement best practices in modularity, reusability, and separation of concerns, setting the foundation for future expansion.
Requirements:
• 4+ years of software development experience, particularly in scaling high-load applications.
• Prior experience as a CTO or technical co-founder in a growth-focused startup, with demonstrated success in scaling architecture.
• Advanced knowledge of MERN stack, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Proficiency in cloud infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud, etc.), with an understanding of cost control, elasticity, and optimization.
• Strong background in algorithms, system design, and performance optimization.
• Demonstrated leadership ability in building and managing top-performing engineering teams.
• Equity-based compensation with co-founder equity. Open to candidates interested in investing in BassPass to enhance alignment with our goals.
• A genuine love for electronic music and the EDM community. This role demands passion for the culture BassPass is built to support.
