About Megapot
In a few years, the whole world will pause for a moment every day to see who just became a billionaire. At
Megapot, we’re building the first global jackpot.
We’re already crypto’s largest jackpot with $100M+ in jackpots run. Our
novel bootstrapping mechanism builds massive prize pools and our platform-first approach drives significant volume from third-party apps.
All profits go back to the community, giving players far better expected returns than traditional lotteries. Anyone can even “play as the house” to earn profits once reserved for casinos.
We recently raised $5M from Tier 1 crypto investors, plus founders of the world’s largest iGaming brands and protocols.
Your Role
As a frontend-leaning fullstack engineer, you will lead our first-party app and developer experience:
- Build an app that’s universally accessible, broadly appealing, performant for users in emerging countries, all while abstracting crypto away.
- Design a scalable architecture to enable us to launch apps on every platform and chain
- Support third-party developers who already embed our jackpot, give tickets away as signup bonuses, innovate on our protocol (eg. auto-subscription, ticket pools)
- Own integrations including account abstraction, fiat onramps, and cross-chain settlement
As part of the founding team, you will be involved in all aspects of building this company:
- Active partner on strategy, product, design, go-to-market, compliance, etc. You will wear many hats and own work streams that you have no domain expertise in.
- Immediately help with hiring to build the company and culture you want.
Requirements
- 1+ years as a tech lead or EM
- 5+ years as a software engineer
- Experience building apps at scale (1M+ users)
- Experience working at a startup

Tech Stack
You’ll get to decide our tech stack. Our MVP was built minimally with TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Redis. As we rebuild for global scale, you’ll shape our systems for the years to come.
