      <guid>https://forem.com/lisa_ramos_8195b1b9c44c60/palettea-is-looking-for-a-technical-co-founder-cto-equity-based-remote-ifm</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Are you disillusioned by soulless or exploitative tech and want to build something &lt;strong&gt;pure, artist-centered, and morally grounded&lt;/strong&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Palettea is an early-stage, open-source digital painting app designed to &lt;strong&gt;empower artists with creative freedom&lt;/strong&gt; while maintaining &lt;strong&gt;ethical, human-centered design principles&lt;/strong&gt;. We’re reimagining the tools artists rely on — think cross-platform, intuitive, and built for the soul, not just algorithms or market trends.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are seeking a &lt;strong&gt;Technical Co-Founder (CTO)&lt;/strong&gt; to join the founding team. You’ll be responsible for shaping the technical architecture, developing core features like brush simulation and cross-platform compatibility, and helping build a values-aligned volunteer team.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*&lt;em&gt;What We’re Looking For&lt;br&gt;
*&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;5–10 years of software development experience (graphics, creative coding, or cross-platform frameworks preferred)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience with open-source collaboration (GitHub, version control)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Excellent English communication skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Based in &lt;strong&gt;North America&lt;/strong&gt; (preferred)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Passion for creating ethical, artist-centered software&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why Join Palettea&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Early-stage co-founder role with &lt;strong&gt;equity ownership&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Opportunity to build a product from the ground up that truly serves artists&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Collaborate closely with a designer and creative founder on a mission-driven project&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; This is a part-time, equity-only role. There is no salary or funding at this stage, but you will receive founder-level ownership and long-term participation in revenue and decision-making.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Apply&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If this resonates with your vision, please apply through our co-founder form:&lt;br&gt;
👉 Apply via &lt;a href="https://form.typeform.com/to/SKZNeuin" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Typeform&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Include your &lt;strong&gt;LinkedIn, Portfolio, and GitHub&lt;/strong&gt; so we can review your background and experience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Palettea exists for those who want to &lt;strong&gt;restore soul, beauty, and integrity&lt;/strong&gt; to digital creation. If that’s you, we’d love to hear from you!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Keep in mind this is a project opportunity until we get the right funding.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Volunteer Developer – Palettea (Remote, US/Canada)</title>
      <dc:creator>Lisa Ramos</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 13 Oct 2025 20:34:28 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/lisa_ramos_8195b1b9c44c60/volunteer-developers-wanted-for-open-source-cross-platform-art-app-remote-uscanada-only-2fkl</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/lisa_ramos_8195b1b9c44c60/volunteer-developers-wanted-for-open-source-cross-platform-art-app-remote-uscanada-only-2fkl</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt; Remote (US &amp;amp; Canada only)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Commitment:&lt;/strong&gt; Flexible, project-based&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tired of subscription traps controlling creative tools?&lt;/strong&gt; Palettea is an &lt;strong&gt;open-source, cross-platform art app&lt;/strong&gt; that puts artists first—and we’re looking for talented developers to help build it. This is your chance to &lt;strong&gt;take ownership of features, shape the app’s future, and contribute to a mission-driven project.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Responsibilities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Develop and maintain front-end or back-end components.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Collaborate asynchronously with a remote, creative team.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Own features end-to-end, from design to implementation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Communicate clearly in English with team members and contributors.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skills &amp;amp; Qualifications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Strong experience in one or more of the following:

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Frontend:&lt;/strong&gt; React, Vue, or similar frameworks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Backend:&lt;/strong&gt; Node.js, Python, or equivalent&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Cross-Platform&lt;/strong&gt;: Flutter, Electron, or similar&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;


&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Able to work &lt;strong&gt;remotely from the US or Canada.&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Clear English-language communication skills.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Passion for open-source projects and empowering artists.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why Join Palettea&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Early access to cutting-edge features before public release.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Recognition as a key contributor shaping the project.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Flexible schedule—commit as much or as little as your availability allows.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Real-world experience building a &lt;strong&gt;mission-driven, open-source application.&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Apply&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Complete the &lt;a href="https://forms.gle/VusoQ8uQpVbexWWb6" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;application form&lt;/a&gt; with your skills and GitHub/portfolio link.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Join our&lt;a href="https://discord.gg/exj3aFPN" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt; Discord&lt;/a&gt; to start collaborating immediately.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;




&lt;p&gt;Palettea is more than code—it’s a movement. If you want to &lt;strong&gt;build software that empowers artists and breaks the subscription cycle&lt;/strong&gt;, this is your chance to make a real impact.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Keep in mind this is a project opportunity until we get the right funding.&lt;/p&gt;
