To builders in Poland and Eastern Europe: We are recruiting here because we value the "engineering-first" mindset. We know you hate "hours theater" and corporate fluff. So do we. This is a role for an engineer who wants to solve complex problems (real-time AI audio, marketplace logic) without the bureaucracy.

This isn't a job. It's a mission. One billion people are struggling with their mental health. 700,000 preventable deaths each year. Only a fraction ever reach the right provider because borders, languages, and broken marketplaces stand in the way.

Unacceptable. We're fixing it.

Really Global is building the world's first truly global, provider-centric mental health marketplace—so anyone, anywhere, can find the right human in their language, at a price they can afford. We're already live at really.global in 200+ countries. The foundation exists. Now we build the infrastructure that scales.

Next: an AI-powered booking and translation layer with real-time audio translation, making quality care as accessible as ordering dinner. This is a system-level play. When we succeed, access to care becomes normal. Suffering becomes optional.

The Opportunity: Put Your Name on the Blueprint.

This is pure sweat equity for a true builder who wants meaningful ownership in a global platform — alongside their primary role. You won't be building from scratch—you'll be accelerating what's already moving. Typical commitment: 5-10 hours/week, equity-only, alongside your primary role.

You won't be "feature support." You'll be foundational—your fingerprints on architecture, UX, velocity, and every product decision that helps someone find hope in their darkest moment.

We're backed by founders with a track record of scaling ventures to $130M+ in revenue. This will be the hardest and most meaningful work of your life.

Who You Are (and how you show up)

• Mission-obsessed. The mental health gap bothers you enough to build the fix.
• Owner's mindset. You grab the problem, simplify, and ship. Weekly.
• Resourceful as hell. You bias to MVP, learn in production, and improve fast.
• Resilient. You want the hard thing because the hard thing matters.
• Clear, candid communicator. Crisp async writing; short demos; low-ego reviews.
• Efficiency and Output Driven: Must be skilled at — or hungry to master — orchestrating production-quality code using Claude or Codex.

What You'll Build (and why it matters)

End-to-end product slices that remove friction between someone in crisis and someone who can help. Check really.global to see where we are. Here's what's next:

1. Add recurring calendar availability
2. Publish existing SEO content at scale and optimize the site
3. Roll out the Hotline
4. Complete Talk Now (instant sessions) and Find Matches (survey → ranked suggestions)
5. Add location-based navigation
6. Add site-wide translation and real-time audio translation
7. API/MCP integrations

Beyond these, you'll help build core platform infrastructure — EHR, transcription, community, care provisioning, messaging, and more.

Our stack: Next.js/React on the front; Python services; Postgres underneath; GitHub, Jira, AI-assisted workflows (Claude/Codex) to move faster without lowering the bar.

The Deal: Transparent Equity Partnership

• Points-for-outcomes system. We measure contribution in Story Points, a standard unit of complexity, not hours. This rewards your efficiency and impact.
• Merit-based ownership. Contribution translates directly to equity from a dedicated 5% contributor pool. Your stake grows with every outcome you ship.
• All work is valued. You earn points not just for new features, but also for essential “glue work” like bug fixes, documentation, and incident response.
• Real shipped value. Ownership accrues only when your work is reviewed and approved by a designated Reviewer of Record (never the author).
• Clear commitment & vesting. We use a 6-month active contribution cliff with a minimum monthly point threshold to ensure we're a great fit. After the cliff, your grant vests over a 3-year period.
• Quarterly transparency. We publish a rollup each quarter showing your total points, rate, and accrued percentage — you always know exactly where you stand.
• Locked-in stake. When we close our first priced funding round, the program freezes and everyone's earned percentage becomes a fixed part of our cap table.
• No hours theater. No politics. Value in production = ownership. All details are codified in a formal, transparent agreement covering vesting, IP, and security.

Why This Will Define Your Career

• Meritocracy over Politics: We don't care when you work. We track Story Points and shipped outcomes. Code in production is the only metric that matters.
• System-Level Engineering: You aren't just tweaking UI. You are building the infrastructure for global real-time translation and healthcare compliance.
• Zero Waste: We lean hard on AI tools (Claude/Codex) to remove boilerplate work so you can focus on the hard architectural problems.
• Global Scale: You are building a platform that already serves 200+ countries. The scale complexity is the perk.

Are You the One?

One thing we need to be direct about.

This is a side project. We know that. You have a day job, a life, obligations. We respect all of it.

But this only works if you actually show up. Consistently. Not every week looks the same — some weeks are 3 hours, some are 10. That's fine. What isn't fine is disappearing for a month, going silent, or treating this like something you'll get around to eventually.

We have a 6-month cliff with a minimum monthly point threshold. If you don't hit it, that month doesn't count. If you stop showing up entirely, we part ways. No drama, but no equity either.

The people who thrive here are the ones who want a side project — who get energy from building something meaningful outside their 9-to-5. They're drawn to the idea of shipping real product on a global platform, coding with full AI tooling, and getting in on the ground floor of something that could change how a billion people access mental health care.

If that sounds like extra work, this isn't for you. If that sounds like the thing you've been looking for, APPLY NOW.
