Co-Founder

REMOTE Leadership Full-time (20 hours/week)

The Real Talk

I'm James, the technical founder of Zabaca. I can code anything, architect systems that scale, and turn complex technical problems into elegant solutions. But I need someone who's brilliant where I'm not.

This isn't a job posting; it's a partnership opportunity. You'll own half the company and half the responsibility of building something that matters.

What I'm Great At

  • Building scalable technical infrastructure
  • Writing clean, maintainable code
  • System architecture and technical strategy
  • Solving complex engineering problems
  • Leading technical teams

Where You Come In

You excel at one or more of these:

  • Sales & Business Development - You can sell ice to Eskimos, but more importantly, you understand how to build sustainable sales processes
  • Product Design - You think in user experiences and can turn complex ideas into intuitive interfaces
  • Product Management - You bridge the gap between what users need and what we build
  • Marketing & Growth - You know how to get the right message to the right people
  • Operations & Strategy - You can build the machine that runs the business

What We're Building

Zabaca builds and runs websites for local businesses for one monthly price, with changes done within a business day. Alongside that, we make software for people who work with AI agents.

The Deal

  • 50% equity (we'll figure out vesting that makes sense for both of us)
  • Equal say in major decisions
  • Work from anywhere (but we should meet regularly)
  • 20-hour work weeks (quality > quantity)
  • Build a lifestyle business, not a VC treadmill

What I'm Looking For

  • You've built and scaled something before (doesn't have to be huge)
  • You're in it for the long haul, not a quick flip
  • You value work-life balance as much as success
  • You're comfortable with async work and written communication
  • You bring complementary skills and networks

What I'm NOT Looking For

  • Another technical co-founder (I've got that covered)
  • Someone who wants to raise VC money immediately
  • Hustle culture enthusiasts
  • People who think 80-hour weeks = success

Interested?

Don't send a resume. Tell me your story. What have you built? What drives you? Why does Zabaca excite you?
