Startup CTO for Esports Platform
Budget: $10,000 – $20,000 USD
I’m ready to turn a fresh esports-community concept into a real product and I’m looking for a hands-on CTO to lead that journey alongside me. You’ll own the technical direction from day one, code the first lines yourself, and grow a lean, talented team over time—no “hire everyone at once” approach here.
Your background ideally blends three strengths I consider non-negotiable:
• team building and thoughtful people management,
• genuine, sleeves-rolled-up development skills, and
• prior exposure to esports or community-driven platforms (you understand why latency, matchmaking, and social features matter).
Immediate focus
Our first priority is building the community platform MVP: player profiles, matchmaking, chat, and tournament modules. Once that foundation is stable, we can expand into broader ecosystem features and begin scaling the team.
Tech vision
I’m set on a JavaScript/Node.js stack for the back-end, complemented by whatever modern front-end you believe fits (React, Next.js, etc.). Cloud choice is flexible so long as we keep deployment smooth and costs transparent.
Key deliverables (initial six months)
1. Technical architecture blueprint and repo setup
2. Production-ready MVP of the esports community platform
3. 6- to 12-month hiring roadmap, including key engineering roles and timing
4. Documentation and CI/CD pipeline to keep future onboarding painless
If you’re a passionate gamer or tech innovator who wants to shape something meaningful from the ground up, let’s connect and start building.
