Job description

About the job Technical Co-Founder / CTO

About the Role

We are seeking a Technical Co-Founder / CTO who is ready to take the lead in building a category-defining hiring platform. You will be responsible for transforming the founder's 20+ years of industry insights into a scalable, AI-driven product. From architecture and coding to product vision, you will be the driving force behind realizing our ideas.

This is a founder-level position, not an employee role. You will shape the direction, own the technical strategy, and share in the success of the company.

What You'll Do

• Own the product architecture and technical roadmap from day one through to scaling.
• Lead the development of core platform features, including user profiles, a matching engine, and notifications.
• Deliver AI/ML-powered products, such as semantic search, recommendations, and signal-driven matching.
• Establish coding standards, development practices, and release processes (SDLC + PDLC).
• Build and lead a small, talented technical team (including full-stack developers, AI specialists, and interns).
• Ensure that user experience (UX) and front-end quality remain world-class.
• Balance speed and scalability: deliver quickly while building for the long term.

What Makes You a Good Fit

• Proven experience delivering full-stack products from start to finish.
• Proficient with modern web technologies (React/Next.js, Node.js/Python, Postgres, AWS/GCP).
• In-depth knowledge of AI/ML integration, including LangChain, Pinecone, vector databases, and embeddings.
• Experience in building recommendation systems, semantic searches, or workflows based on large language models (LLMs).
• Strong UX sensibilities; you prioritize clean interfaces and intuitive user flows.
• Ability to thrive in uncertainty; you are a builder who can take concepts from zero to one, not just an operator.
• A culture-first mindset: you value ownership, trust, autonomy, and high integrity.
• Meaningful equity split based on role and contribution, not just job title.
• A founder's seat at the table from day one.
• Remote-first and asynchronous work environment, free of bureaucratic obstacles.
• Direct access to over 20 years of operational playbooks.
• Opportunity to create a category-defining product with a real-world impact.
