Chief Technology Officer / Founding Engineer

Salary Unpaid
Equity 25% - 30%

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY Floorball is Sweden's second-largest team sport, yet its match statistics are still handled manually in some way- despite level. We are changing that.

At fbstats, we are building an AI-driven SaaS platform that tracks players, tactical patterns, and heatmaps using just regular match video – no expensive hardware needed. We already have established floorball teams (both men's and women's teams) lined up as pilot customers.

Now, we need the missing piece of our puzzle: A CTO / Founding Engineer.


THE TECH CHALLENGE (YOUR MISSION) Our visionary AI-founder is currently building and finalizing the brain of our operation. By leveraging Python, YOLOv8, and Roboflow, we are developing an object detection model designed to accurately track floorball players and equipment.

Now, we need you to build the body.

We are looking for a hands-on technical partner who wants to take full ownership of building our commercial SaaS platform from scratch. You will be the sole architect and developer of the platform surrounding our AI engine. Your main challenges will be:

  • Cloud Architecture & Video Handling: Set up a robust backend and cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP) capable of receiving, queuing, and processing massive video files uploaded by coaches.

  • The Bridge (API): Build the microservices and APIs that seamlessly connect our user platform with our Python-based AI engine.

  • Frontend & Dashboard: Develop a clean, fast, and user-friendly web interface where coaches can log in, upload match videos, and view their generated analytics.


WHO ARE YOU? To thrive in this role, you must be a "builder" at heart. We are not looking for a high-level manager who only draws diagrams – we are looking for a hungry, hands-on Fullstack Developer who loves writing code and wants to build a product from the ground up.

  • You have solid experience in building modern web applications (you have total freedom to choose the tech stack for the platform: Node.js, React, C#, Vue, or whatever you prefer!).

  • You understand cloud deployments, databases, and how to set up scalable APIs.

  • You are driven by the startup journey and want to own the product you build.


WHAT WE OFFER

  • Substantial Equity: A generous sweat equity stake. The exact percentage (up to 30%) will be tailored based on your preferred role (full Co-founder vs. Lead Developer) and level of commitment, regulated via a professional vesting schedule.

  • Flexibility: Initially, this is the perfect passion project for evenings and weekends. We have a clear roadmap to transition to full-time paid roles as soon as we secure funding or reach profitability.

  • Shape Your Role: Whether you want to step in as a full-fledged Co-founder and help shape the overall business strategy, or if you prefer to take on the role as Lead Developer/CTO with a pure focus on building the tech, we want to talk to you. The exact title and structure can be tailored for the right person.

ABOUT FBSTATS & THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE fbstats is a Swedish sport-tech startup aiming to revolutionize how floorball is analyzed, understood, and developed. Floorball is a massive sport, but when it comes to automated match statistics and deep video analysis, it is lagging far behind. Existing solutions on the market are either built for completely different sports or require expensive, fixed arena camera installations that are financially out of reach for the majority of clubs. This leaves coaches and managers at most levels with two bad options: guessing, or spending countless hours on manual, analog tagging of video files after games. It’s inefficient, expensive, and not scalable. We are changing that. WHERE ARE WE TODAY? We are in an extremely exciting early startup phase where the market need is clearly validated. Through our founders roots in the floorball community, we have unique insights into the actual everyday problems and needs of coaches. We are moving fast. We already have a strong, concrete interest from pilot teams who are ready to test the platform. We are currently incorporating the company (Aktiebolag) and have secured the initial funding. Most importantly: our AI engine is already proving itself, accurately tracking players and equipment in early test footage.
