## Hiring: Founding Engineer / Full-Stack Developer ### Build an AI-Powered Agreement, Scheduling, and Payment Platform for the Event Industry **Project:** EventAccord AI **Stage:** Early-stage / Greenfield build **Commitment:** Contract or Full-Time (flexible) **Remote:** Yes (time-zone overlap preferred) --- ### The Opportunity We are building **EventAccord AI**, a platform that turns messy event conversations into clear agreements, synced calendars, and automatic payments. Event planners, vendors, and suppliers currently juggle chats, emails, contracts, calendars, and invoices across disconnected tools. Our product unifies all of it: Chat → AI-generated agreement → calendar sync → e-signature → payment collection This is not a demo project or a chatbot experiment. This is infrastructure software for the event industry, starting with weddings and expanding outward. We are looking for a strong founding engineer (or small founding dev team) to help architect and build the MVP. --- ### What You Will Be Building You will work on a production-grade system with real users and real money. **Core features include:** * Real-time chat between event parties * AI-powered agreement generation from unstructured conversation * Live agreement updates as chats evolve * Calendar availability sync (Google and Outlook) * Change detection and conflict warnings (dates, scope, pricing) * E-signature flow with version history * Automated payments (Stripe-first) * Email and notification system --- ### Technical Stack (Flexible but Opinionated) **Frontend** * React or Next.js * Mobile-first, clean UX * Chat and agreement side-by-side views **Backend** * Node.js (NestJS or Express) * REST and event-driven architecture * Agreement and payment orchestration services **AI Layer** * LLM-based extraction and structuring * Change detection and clause diffing * Assumption tracking and auditability **Integrations** * Google and Outlook Calendar * Stripe (payments and invoicing) * DocuSign or native e-signature * Email (Gmail and Outlook) --- ### Who We Are Looking For You may be a great fit if you: * Have 4+ years of experience in full-stack or backend development * Have built SaaS products with real users * Are comfortable designing data models and APIs * Have experience with Stripe or other payment systems * Understand OAuth and third-party integrations * Are curious about applied AI (no ML research background required) * Care about clean architecture, audit trails, and edge cases **Bonus experience includes:** * Contract or document systems * Calendar or scheduling software * Marketplaces or two-sided platforms * Legal, fintech, or event-tech products * Early-stage startups --- ### Your Role Depending on your background, you may: * Architect the MVP from the ground up * Build the agreement engine and AI orchestration * Design scalable data models for contracts and versioning * Implement payment flows and milestone logic * Shape product decisions alongside the founder * Help define what “v1” actually means This is a high-impact role with real ownership. --- ### Why This Is Interesting * Clear, painful problem in a large and fragmented industry * AI used where it provides real leverage, not novelty * Strong expansion potential beyond events * Opportunity to help define a category, not just ship features * Founder-led vision with a concrete, build-ready
