About This Role

We are actively seeking multiple former startup CTOs and technical co-founders to join Naptha AI in roles tailored to each individual's unique strengths and experiences. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of AI agent infrastructure at a massively ambitious scale, backed by industry veterans and technical leaders, NVIDIA Inception, Google for Startups, and Microsoft for Startups.

We're building the foundational infrastructure for the next wave of AI companies, enabling frontier AI developers (many leaving labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepMind) to build products powered by enormous networks of highly capable next-generation AI agents. We're assembling a team of experienced technical leaders who have built and scaled systems before, and we'll shape specific roles around your unique expertise as you help us fundamentally change how AI systems work together.

Potential Areas of Impact

• Depending on your experience and interests, you might:
• Architect systems that will power thousands of interoperating AI agents
• Build and lead teams working on bleeding-edge AI infrastructure
• Design novel approaches to agent orchestration and collaboration
• Shape our technical strategy at the intersection of AI, distributed systems, and platform design
• Create entirely new categories of technical challenges we haven't even discovered yet
• Work directly with frontier AI developers to understand and solve their scaling challenges

Why Join Us

• Work on genuine frontier tech that could reshape how AI systems interact
• Join a founding team that has deep expertise in AI infrastructure
• Shape your own role while working alongside other experienced technical leaders
• Get in early at a uniquely well-resourced pre-seed company
• Build something meaningful without having to worry about fundraising
• Collaborate with technical founders who understand the value you bring

About The Hiring Process

• Initial conversation about your experience and vision
• Technical deep dive
• Collaborative role definition
• Team discussions
• Project scoping workshop

Compensation & Benefits

• Highly competitive salary and significant equity stake
• Role and compensation scaled to your experience
• Remote-first work environment
• Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Flexible PTO policy
• Learning and conference budget

We're looking for technical leaders who have scaled startups before and are excited about tackling fundamental challenges in AI infrastructure. These roles offer the impact and ownership of early-stage work combined with the resources to execute at scale. If you've built and scaled technical teams before and are excited about shaping how the next generation of AI systems will work together, we want to talk - even if you're not sure exactly what role would be the perfect fit.
