Full-Stack Engineer (Backend + Frontend) — Tourifique
Tech Co-Founder / Founding Engineer Opportunity USA/Canada based
About Tourifique
Tourifique is redefining travel discovery and booking. We've built an online travel marketplace where travelers discover and book real experiences through short-form video reels, the same instinctive, scroll-and-discover behavior people know from social platforms, now connected directly to instant booking.
Our mission is to simplify how travelers find authentic experiences while empowering local tour operators and creators to monetize their content and reach.
The Opportunity
Tourifique's web platform is built and live. We're now looking for a technically excellent Full-Stack Engineer to join as a Tech Co-Founder and take ownership of the platform's architecture, scale, and next phase of growth — from stabilizing and extending a production system to shaping the roadmap for mobile, AI-driven personalization, and international expansion.
This is a rare opportunity to join a working product — not a whiteboard — with true co-founder equity and the influence that comes from owning technology decisions at the ground floor.

Modern, scalable backend architecture with real-time capabilities
Modern frontend framework, built for performance and rapid iteration
