Founding Software Platform Lead (Equity-Based)
About Nexar Dynamics
Nexar Dynamics is building an AI-powered intelligent recycling platform designed for offices, hotels, universities, airports, and large commercial facilities.
Our flagship product, the XI Core Device, combines Computer Vision, Robotics, Material Processing, and Sustainability Reporting into a single intelligent platform capable of transforming how organizations manage recyclable waste.
We are currently moving from concept validation to MVP development and are looking for a founding software engineer who will build the digital platform powering every Nexar device.
This is an early-stage founding position with equity compensation.
Your Mission
As our Founding Software Platform Lead, your mission is to design and build the digital backbone of Nexar.
You will work directly with the founders while collaborating closely with our Computer Vision Engineer, Frontend Engineer, Prototype Development Lead, and Hardware & Manufacturing Engineer to develop the cloud infrastructure, backend services, APIs, and device connectivity that enable our intelligent recycling platform.
This role is focused on building the software platform behind our first MVP—not maintaining existing enterprise systems.
Responsibilities
- Design and build Nexar's cloud infrastructure.
- Develop backend services and APIs supporting the XI Core Device.
- Build secure communication between edge devices and cloud services.
- Design telemetry and remote device monitoring capabilities.
- Develop remote device management and update infrastructure.
- Collaborate with the Computer Vision team on AI deployment workflows.
- Support AI model deployment and edge inference integration.
- Build internal services supporting dashboards, reporting, and analytics.
- Design scalable software architecture for future product growth.
- Contribute to technical decisions across the software platform.
Preferred Experience
We are interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Backend Software Engineering
- Cloud Infrastructure
- Platform Engineering
- IoT Systems
- Distributed Systems
- AI Infrastructure
Technical Background
Experience in one or more of the following is considered a strong advantage:
- Python
- FastAPI or similar backend frameworks
- Docker
- Linux
- REST APIs
- Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- CI/CD
- IoT or Edge Computing
What We Are Looking For
We are not looking for someone who simply develops web applications.
We are looking for an engineer who enjoys designing systems, solving complex technical challenges, and building software that powers intelligent hardware.
You should be comfortable working across multiple engineering disciplines, making architectural decisions, and creating scalable infrastructure that supports real-world products.
A strong entrepreneurial mindset and comfort working in an early-stage startup environment are essential.
Why Join Nexar?
- Build the software platform behind an AI-powered hardware product.
- Influence key architecture decisions from day one.
- Work directly with the founders.
- Receive meaningful equity participation.
- Help shape the digital foundation of Nexar.
- Build technology with measurable environmental impact.
- Be part of one of Europe's next-generation ClimateTech startups.
Nice to Have
- Previous startup experience.
- Experience building MVPs or proof-of-concepts.
- Experience with AI, IoT, or connected devices.
- Turkish language skills (considered a strong plus).
- Experience working in remote and distributed teams.
Compensation
This is currently an equity-based founding position.
As one of the earliest members of Nexar Dynamics, you will receive meaningful equity participation and play a central role in building the company's software platform.
Future cash compensation will be introduced as the company progresses through funding and commercial milestones.
