Founding Engineer (Potential CTO/HoE & Cofounder Track) – Part-time or Full-time

Salary Unpaid

Equity To be negotiated

What we're building

At Luminik, we're building an AI assistant for event marketing – helping GTM teams turn event spend into actual pipeline. A pilot customer is already in motion. What we build and ship in the next 30–45 days will determine if we land our first paid deal and scale from there.

We’re not here to experiment. We’re here to execute.

What you'll own

You'll lead product development from scratch – backend, infrastructure, AI workflows, data integrations – whatever it takes to deliver value. You’ll work closely with me (Founder) and be expected to figure things out fast, using tools like Cursor, Copilot, LangChain, or whatever helps us ship faster.

This is a hands-on role. It’s not about planning, it’s about doing.

Who this is for

You’ve built and shipped real products from scratch
You thrive in uncertainty and move without needing permission
You care about outcomes, not perfection
You know how to move fast with modern tools (Cursor, Copilot, LangChain, Vercel, etc.)
You're open to starting part-time, but you show up like an owner
You’re looking for something real – not a side gig or resume line

Why this is real

Customer pilot is active: A mid-market B2B customer is testing Luminik now. What you build will directly shape our future.
Past traction matters: Before Luminik, my journey included SnowOptix – a Snowflake-native analytics app already used by leading consulting and healthcare companies. We’ve sold into large orgs, built trust, and created leverage.
We’ve already pivoted: This is the focused next chapter. Execution and speed are the only things that matter now.

What you'll get

Meaningful equity from day one
No salary yet – we’re bootstrapped, optimizing for speed and early revenue
Clear CTO/cofounder path if we work well together and hit milestones

Final note

This is for someone who wants to build a company – not just write code. If you want ownership, high expectations, and a shot at building something real from day one, let's talk.

1. The pitch Luminik is building an AI co-pilot for event marketers to help B2B marketing teams turn expensive conferences into predictable pipeline—by fixing targeting, meetings, and follow-up with one revenue-first system. 2. The what B2B companies spend 20–30% of their marketing budget on events—but most can’t prove the ROI. Attendee lists come in late. Sales teams scramble to book meetings. Post-event follow-up is messy and untracked. As a result, 40–70% of event-generated leads disappear. This affects CMOs, event marketers, and sales teams who are under pressure to justify spend and show pipeline impact. The pain is felt across industries, and the budgets at stake are massive. 3. The how Luminik is an AI-powered event marketing co-pilot. It identifies ICP accounts and decision-makers weeks in advance, helps lock meetings before the event, alerts sales when high-value prospects show up at the booth, and auto-syncs all activity back to the CRM. No more manual scraping, badge scans, or spreadsheet reporting. We turn events into a pipeline channel your CFO will actually trust—with math, not guesswork. 4. The why We saw the same pattern over and over while working with fast-growing SaaS teams: events were expensive, chaotic, and disconnected from revenue. I have helped teams wrangle messy data for years—and realized we could bring clarity, structure, and impact to one of the most broken (yet high-stakes) parts of B2B marketing. We’re here to fix event marketing with a revenue-first lens—because if you can’t tie events to pipeline, your budget is always at risk.
