Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Really Global is building a global, provider-centric mental health marketplace that helps people find appropriate care across borders, languages, and affordability constraints. The Founding Full-Stack Engineer will build and ship production platform features, APIs, AI-powered booking, and live translation using React/Next.js, Python, PostgreSQL, and Azure while working independently and leveraging AI-native development workflows.
Responsibilities
- This is real production software serving real users in 200+ countries, so everything ships carefully, reversibly, and under review
- Core platform features and APIs — discovery, matching, booking, scheduling, messaging, provider operations — the surfaces a billion people will eventually touch
- The hard parts, not the boilerplate. You let your agents handle the grind so you can focus on the data modeling, edge cases, and architecture decisions that actually matter
- AI-powered booking and live translation — real-time audio translation and frictionless booking that make quality care as easy to reach as ordering dinner. This is core to the MVP we're shipping right now, and you'll build it
- Speed without lowering the bar — reviewed, reversible, tested. We move fast because the tooling lets us, not because we cut corners
- Reply to Slack DMs within 24 hours, and keep your Jira tasks current each week
Skills
- 1. United States
- • You build because you can't not. A good problem gets under your skin, and you'll find the hours for it even in a slammed week — not out of obligation, but because shipping the thing is where you come alive. Your agents are what make that possible: they carry the grind so your energy goes where it counts
- • You operate, you don't just code. You don't wait to be handed tickets one at a time. You take a problem, break it down, and drive it to shipped — pulling in whatever tooling and automation gets you there fastest. You're comfortable being the most senior person in the room and the one actually doing the work
- • You've already gone all-in on AI. Nobody has to sell you on it. You run your own setup — your own agents, your own workflows — and you've felt the gap firsthand between people who delegate to machines and people still typing every line by hand. You're on the premium plans, running multiple agents — because you know the cheap tier can't cross the gap between orchestrating machines and typing every line by hand. The tooling pays for itself in leverage
- • You've shipped things people depend on. You know what "done" actually means in production because you've been the one paged when it wasn't. That's given you instincts you can't fake and can't shortcut
- • Maybe you lead now — and you miss this. Perhaps your day job moved you up and away from the keyboard, into reviews and roadmaps and standups. Part of you misses owning something end to end with your name on it. This is that thing. (To be clear: here, you're a builder, not a manager. That's the point.)
- • Self-propelled. Nobody is going to manage you — and you'd hate it if they tried. The roadmap is there. The rest is on you. You're motivated by ownership, not oversight
- • Candid and low-drama. You can explain a hard trade-off to a non-technical founder without condescension, and push back on a bad idea without turning it into a fight
- Typical commitment: up to ~10 hours per week, equity-only, alongside your primary role. (Will likely look like 1 hour throughout each day to keep your LLM/Agent working around the clock.)
- The people who fit here get energy from building something meaningful — and because their agents carry the load, it folds into how they already work instead of eating their life.. They're senior enough to work without a net, equipped enough to move fast, and self-driven enough to not need anyone standing over them
Benefits
- Equity-only compensation from a dedicated 5% contributor pool, accruing based on shipped production value.
- Earn from day one: no cliff, no 90-day pilot, and no probation; first accepted, production-bound work earns equity right away.
- Equity accrues as you ship, and what's earned is always yours.
- A live equity dashboard, refreshed weekly, showing exactly where your equity stands.
- When the first priced round closes, the program freezes and everyone's earned percentage becomes a fixed part of the cap table.
- A clear, transparent agreement covering equity, vesting, IP, and security.
- Part-time side-project commitment of up to around 10 hours per week, alongside a primary role.
