Freelance Coding Jobs in Crosby, TX (NOW HIRING)

Start Date: September 1st, 2026

Contract Length - 6 months with possibility to extend

Founders Factory builds and funds startups together with exceptional entrepreneurs and the world's leading companies. Headquartered in London and operating globally, Founders Factory backs visionary founders with capital, dedicated support from a team of expert operators, and unrivalled access to a coalition of industry leading corporate partners. Since 2015, FF has backed 450+ portfolio companies helping them to secure over 500 enterprise pilots with blue chip corporate partners such as Aviva, Northwestern Medicine, Johnson & Johnson Innovation, and HSBC.

We are looking for an exceptional Venture Builder who is passionate about building the future of elderly care and healthcare robotics.

Health systems globally are burdened by capacity constraints, rising chronic disease, aging populations, and escalating operational costs. Care delivery models built around physical hospitals are increasingly unsustainable, and nowhere is this more acute than in elderly care, where families and providers alike need better ways to monitor wellbeing without adding friction or invading privacy.

You’ll be working on our new venture: an autonomous robot designed to monitor elderly care patients, combining mobile sensing, radar/remote monitoring, and intelligent navigation to give caregivers real-time insight while helping seniors stay safe, independent, and supported in senior-living facilities.

As a Venture Builder, you specialise in taking ideas from zero to venture-backable businesses. You work closely with founders to shape strategy, validate problem spaces, build MVPs, and find early product market fit. This is a hands on, high ownership role. You'll operate across product, design, growth and tech, moving fast, making decisions, and focusing relentlessly on what creates the most leverage at each stage of a venture. You have a varied skill set and will have demonstrated an interest in tech and entrepreneurship. You will be an advocate for FF's values and mission and be committed to supporting founders. You are opinionated but evidence led, creative but commercial, and comfortable operating in ambiguity. You care deeply about building products people actually want and businesses that can scale.

As a Venture Builder at Founders Factory, you will gain firsthand experience in building a new business from the ground up. You can also take advantage of our Founder Fast Track Programme to help you hone your entrepreneurial skills and get you ready to found your own venture.

Please note that we are looking for Venture Builders who are available for an initial 6-12 month contract (freelance). Our preferred location is New York, but we will be open to considering hybrid approaches for exceptional talent in other cities across the country.

• Driving momentum by subscribing to lean methodologies and an experimental approach, you prioritise speed, learning, and focus over perfection
