Are you disillusioned by soulless or exploitative tech and want to build something pure, artist-centered, and morally grounded?
Palettea is an early-stage, open-source digital painting app designed to empower artists with creative freedom while maintaining ethical, human-centered design principles. We’re reimagining the tools artists rely on — think cross-platform, intuitive, and built for the soul, not just algorithms or market trends.
We are seeking a Technical Co-Founder (CTO) to join the founding team. You’ll be responsible for shaping the technical architecture, developing core features like brush simulation and cross-platform compatibility, and helping build a values-aligned volunteer team.
*What We’re Looking For
*
- 5–10 years of software development experience (graphics, creative coding, or cross-platform frameworks preferred)
- Experience with open-source collaboration (GitHub, version control)
- Excellent English communication skills
- Based in North America (preferred)
- Passion for creating ethical, artist-centered software
Why Join Palettea
- Early-stage co-founder role with equity ownership
- Opportunity to build a product from the ground up that truly serves artists
- Collaborate closely with a designer and creative founder on a mission-driven project
Note: This is a part-time, equity-only role. There is no salary or funding at this stage, but you will receive founder-level ownership and long-term participation in revenue and decision-making.
