What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chief Technology Officer position at The CodeCraft Brewhouse?
Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
Position : Full-Time, Equity-Eligible
Compensation : $160k–$170k salary (starting post-funding) 3.0%–3.5% equity, vesting over 4 years with a 1-year cliff
Location : Remote (with optional in-person collaboration opportunities)
Who We Are :
The CodeCraft Brewhouse is a mobile app startup born from the belief that technology should feel personal, purposeful, and powerful —designed to inspire curiosity, simplify decisions, and empower growth.
With roots in film, design, and storytelling , our founder saw a gap between AI’s potential and the human experience it could enhance.
Drawing inspiration from craftsmanship and creativity , we envisioned a space where ideas are brewed and technology is crafted with the same care as fine art or artisanal delicacies.
We’re starting with NextNest , one-of-a-kind, AI-backed lifestyle exploration app. From there, we’ll scale into a diverse lineup of AI-driven products, including Pageless , an immersive e-reader and storytelling platform, and SoloStar , a suite of AI-powered solutions for independent professionals.
With up to 8 products planned over 5 years , our vision is to build a versatile portfolio of apps that stand out individually yet offer complementary value for users who download more than one.
We’re not just creating apps—we’re creating tools people return to daily because they feel essential, intuitive, and sometimes a little magical.
