Although only a few months, I have industry experience for this particular market within the correctional system.

I worked for Trinity Services, years ago. I mainly helped manage the inventory of the individual commissaries/warehouse at FL facility.

Basically I worked inside that prison and directly interacted with inmates. So I have more than a basic understanding of how inmate commissary operations work.

I'm working on a JusticeTech (Govtech) startup venture which will be subcontracted under a general contractor that already has an existing contract, between the prime contractor and the corrections agency/facility.

As subcontractors, we (the CTO and I) will provide software solutions, i.e. different management tools, for inmate commissary operation.

The inmate commissary software platform can either be bundled or modular. Bundled, meaning a suite of software tools (inmate fund account and inventory tracking) all rolled into one platform. Modular meaning, only a few software management applications separately that communicate with each other.

The inmate commissary software will need to communicate with the JMS (Jail Management System) to alert the system if certain inmates can't purchase anything from the commissary.

We will subcontract under a prime contractor, since we don't possess the past performance requirements as general contractors.

The software used for this commissary platform, needs to be highly compliant, regulated via CJIS among others to function efficiently within a highly controlled and secure environment, i.e. correctional facility.

Make no mistake, our software applications or tools will be scrutinized through rigorous audits even as subcontractors.

Depending on the seriousness of the deficiencies found during the audit, the general contractor and maybe even the corrections department overseeing the facility(s) could suffer the brunt of liability consequences.

Therefore, there must be safeguards within the software system to ensure upmost compliance for regulations.

Prisons/jails often use obsolete hardware/physical servers. So we will have to adapt to this during the software configuration process.

We will have to install the software onsite and within the facility on day one. So travel to the facility is almost guaranteed.

I'm seeking a senior software engineer (lead engineer) as the CTO/technical cofounder to help build this custom inmate commissary software. We won't be paid upfront, so this isn't a freelance job.

Since our software services are part of the parent contract, we will get paid a percentage of it. But not immediately and will likely take months. To be clear, we will be paid for our work.

I'm only looking for flexible tech cofounders based in the U.S.A., since this will be a combination of remote/onsite work.

I've been reaching out to prime contractors for the past 1-2 weeks, hoping on of them will approve us for a subcontract. This depends on if the facility they're partnered with needs their commissary(s) outsourced to third-party vendors like us and if their budget can afford it.

If this Justicetech startup is something you are interested in or want to learn more about it or me. Please message me.
