Design founder seeks a technical co-founder to join social and media platform for skateboarders, Loke.

We are seeking a talented and passionate Technical Partner to manage a remote team as we continue building our social and media platform for skateboarders, Loke. Our ideal candidate is a full-stack mobile engineer (React Native x Ruby on Rails) who has an interest in the action sports space, can collaborate on business strategy, and is looking for future co-founder opportunities.

Since launching with our iOS and Android apps in New York City in June 2017, we've connected the worldwide community of skaters to build the largest skate spot map ever, with 20,000+ user-contributed spots and parks, and an inclusive user-base of 25,000+ skaters across 101 countries (growing 25% / mo). We have recently introduced the ability to post videos and photos tagged skater, spot, and trick, making it the most specialized skate media platform in the market.

Our vision is to gamify the skateboarding experience – think Tony Hawk Pro Skater IRL - connecting 40 million skaters worldwide to session the best spots, meet their local community, post to-the-minute skate videos, engage with industry news, and enter endless challenges set by Loke and relevant skate brands. By doing so, Loke users accrue points and merits that unlock opportunities to engage with their favorite brands and pros, access exclusive content and merchandise, and ultimately get discovered.

For the skate industry (already $1.9 billion / yr & growing), Loke is on a path to become a marketing and challenge platform for brands big and small to engage their consumers in a highly targeted way, and the largest skate media company that will connect households with skateboarding culture and commerce the worldover, contributing to its industry worth. There are major revenue opportunities in this space.
