Part-Time Tech Lead (m/f/d) Mobile App & Platform

Build the Future of Live Entertainment.

Most people still discover events the same way they did 10 years ago: through social media noise, scattered websites, and endless searching.

We believe there is a better way.

At Louco, we are building an AI-powered platform that redefines how people discover experiences, connect with communities, and create unforgettable moments in real life.

Our vision is ambitious: to become the intelligent layer between millions of people and the live entertainment industry.

Backed by investors and preparing for our next growth phase, we are looking for a Part-Time Tech Lead who wants more than just another freelance project.

We are looking for someone who wants to help shape a product from the ground up, influence strategic technology decisions, lead talented developers, and leave a lasting impact on an industry that has barely changed in decades.

If you enjoy taking ownership, solving complex challenges, building scalable technology, and turning bold ideas into reality, we'd love to meet you.

You will serve as the primary technical counterpart to our founders, Product Manager, and development team, ensuring that business goals are translated into scalable and high-quality technical solutions.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working in startups, thinking strategically, solving technical challenges, and leading developers without unnecessary bureaucracy.
