Job description

Job Description

Hiring is a $500 Billion+ industry stuck in the past.

AI has made talent discovery cheap, but trust, accountability, and enforceable outcomes are missing.

I’m building AI-powered SaaS tools designed to solve real pain in the hiring industry right now, with the long-term vision of creating the infrastructure layer for global hiring and the future of work.

This is a rare opportunity to join as a true technical co-founder - owning product, architecture, and technology , while I bring a built-in distribution engine, customer access, and deep domain experience from 20 years in recruiting, talent networks, and marketplaces.

What We’re Building:

AI SaaS tools for recruiters, agencies, and hiring networks that enable:

• Contract-enforced referrals & intros
• Talent monetization tools
• Hiring networks & reputation systems
• Infrastructure for human and AI labor marketplaces.

Simple UX on the surface. Powerful infra under the hood.

About Me

• 20+ years in recruiting, hiring networks, and talent marketplaces
• Deep industry relationships across VCs, agencies, and operators
• Customers ready to adopt and pay for what we’re building
• Strong GTM and distribution motion from day one

My edge is distribution, customers, and market access. Your edge is product, technology, and execution.

Together, that’s the winning combo.

About You

• Strong product sense — builder mentality
• Experience shipping SaaS tools, marketplaces, or infra products
• Comfortable owning architecture, stack decisions, and technical roadmap
• Startup energy — zero-to-one mindset
• Passion for trust systems, future of work, AI tooling, or network design

Bonus if you’ve worked in:

• Fintech / Payments
• Marketplaces
• Recruiting/ HR Tech
• AI / Agent Systems

Why Join

• This is co-founder level equity.
• This is not a side project or early hire.
• This is building a legacy company from day one.

• I have the market.
• I have early adopters.
• I have customers ready to pay.
• I need a technical partner who wants to build something big, fast, and meaningful.
