Technical Ex-Founder
Location: Austin, TX / Pflugerville, TX (In-office)
At Vendidit, we’re tackling the challenges of Reverse Logistics, helping products find maximum value and avoid waste. We’re searching for an entrepreneurial Technical Ex-Founder to join our team—someone who’s ready to take ownership, think like a founder, and drive impact.
This is an opportunity for ex-founders who thrive in fast-paced environments. We’re not just looking for someone who’s highly skilled—we’re looking for someone who can build, iterate, and lead within small, self-sufficient teams. You'll help define problems, ship solutions, talk to users, and refine products in a dynamic marketplace environment.
Why Ex-Founders?
Because you’ve been there—you’ve built something from scratch, solved problems with minimal direction, and taken risks. You know how to work autonomously while collaborating effectively, and you have a vision for making things better. Whether you come from an engineering, product, design, or marketing background, we believe your entrepreneurial mindset is what sets you apart.
Primary Responsibilities
In this role, you’ll be given the freedom to create and solve real-world challenges while shaping our product:
- Product Ownership: Define problems, scope solutions, and build MVPs to test product-market fit quickly.
- Iterate and Improve: Continuously refine and enhance the product based on feedback from users and data.
- Work with Users: Engage directly with customers to understand their needs and rapidly iterate on solutions that matter.
- Collaborate: Work with a small, focused team of builders, marketers, and designers to bring innovative solutions to market.
What We're Looking For
- Founder mentality: You’ve started your own business or led significant product initiatives within a company.
- Hands-on experience: You're comfortable building things yourself, whether it’s coding, designing, or crafting a go-to-market strategy.
- User-first mindset: You care deeply about solving customer problems and take pride in delivering great experiences.
- Autonomous problem-solver: You’re comfortable with ambiguity and can independently move projects forward.
- Cross-disciplinary skills: While your core expertise might be in one area, you’re excited to dabble in many others.
Why Vendidit?
We’re a small, fast-moving team backed by John Paul DeJoria, renowned Austin billionaire and Shark Tank investor. We offer the chance to build, experiment, and make an immediate impact in an industry that’s ripe for disruption.
- Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses
- 60% employer contribution to health benefits
- Opportunities for growth
- In-office collaboration with a flexible approach to in-person work.
If you're an ex-founder who thrives on solving big problems and making things happen, we want to hear from you. Send your resume and a note about how you see yourself contributing!
