Equity-Based | Remote | Flexible Hours | Part-Time or full time.
Are you a Senior Full-Stack Developer / software engineer looking for something more than just a job? Become the Co-Founder & CTO of E-hive, an AI-powered recruitment start-up that’s reshaping how employers find talent — smarter, faster, and with less friction.
We're looking for a technical co-founder to join an early-stage startup called E-hive on an equity-only basis. This is a flexible role where you'll have full ownership of the tech side of the product, with the freedom to structure the technology as you see fit and work entirely on your own schedule. You can treat it as a side project at first, with the option to go full-time if things gain traction, or remain a silent technical partner if you prefer. As a founding member, you'll essentially be investing your skills instead of capital, earning equity in return. You'll have the option to keep your shares in the company and reap dividends over time, or sell your shares and exit if the business performs well. This is a unique opportunity to build something meaningful from the ground up and share in its long-term success.
👋 About E-hive
I’m Fouzy Barahman, founder of E-hive and a recruitment professional with 8+ years in the industry, including running my own successful agency since 2019. I’ve seen where the bottlenecks are — and now we’re building the tech to fix them.
We’re initially focused on education recruitment, but the long-term scope includes tech, healthcare, finance, and beyond. The Figma designs are done, the roadmap is in place, and we’re ready to build.
🧠 What We're Building
Employers describe the role in plain English — e.g., “I need a Maths teacher with five years of experience” — and our AI system uses natural language processing and semantic search to return the best-fit candidates.
Think ChatGPT for CVs, but built for scale — using AI to parse, understand, and match talent beyond keyword searches.
👨‍💻 Your Role – Co-Founder & CTO
You’ll lead the tech build from the ground up — architecture, integrations, dev strategy, and all things engineering. You’ll have the freedom to shape the platform how you see fit, with full co-founder influence. we are looking for software engineers, developers, CTO, technical lead etc. as long as you can build as you will be the sole developer to start off with
🛠️ Tech Stack (Flexible)
Below are the technologies I think make sense for our MVP — but as CTO/Co-Founder, it’s entirely your call. If you believe there's a better approach, you have full autonomy to choose the stack that works best.
Suggested Tech (Totally Flexible):


  • Frontend: React.js, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS

  • Backend: Node.js, Express, Python (FastAPI / Flask / Django)

  • Database: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis

  • Cloud/Infra: AWS, GCP, Docker, GitHub Actions, CI/CD

  • AI/NLP: OpenAI API, LangChain, Hugging Face, Elasticsearch, Pinecone

  • Others: REST, GraphQL, Figma (for design handoff), Vector DBs, Celery, Kafka

No need to build AI from scratch — we’ll leverage third-party APIs like OpenAI and Hugging Face. The goal is to build a scalable, intelligent product that can evolve over time.
⚡ What’s In It for You?


  • Equity in a promising, scalable tech start-up

  • True ownership — make key tech decisions and shape the product

  • Flexible entry — start part-time around your current job

  • Exit options — go full-time, become a silent partner, or exit with equity

📩 Interested?
Let’s chat. I’ll happily share the pitch deck and demo what we’re working on, and you decide if its for you or not, but you wont be disappointed (guranteed)
Find me — Fouzy Barahman — on LinkedIn (listed under E-hive). CV Library doesn’t support links, but I’ll pop up in search. or simply apply for this role so i can call you back.
This is a rare chance to shape a product from the ground up with a founder who understands the space — and to build something truly game-changing with AI
