Ex-Founder / Ex-CTO – Technical & Operational Lead

About the role

This is the founding technical and operational leadership seat at a freshly funded AI infrastructure startup. The company is building the platform that powers AI‑native service businesses: agentic workforces, a company knowledge layer, a human trust layer, and a unified operating cockpit. The scope of this role is deliberately open and shaped around what you do best, whether that is engineering, product, or running the operational side of the business.

Key responsibilities

• Define and own your first‑90‑days scope across engineering, product, or operations, and then execute against it with a high degree of autonomy.
• Help architect and ship the core infrastructure layer used by AI‑native service teams.
• Work directly alongside the founder as one of the earliest hires, shaping the company’s technical and product direction from day one.
• Bring your founder or operator perspective to product decisions, ensuring the platform solves real pain points for small teams running large AI workforces.

Required profile

• Founded a venture‑backed or bootstrapped company, regardless of outcome.
• Served as CTO or first technical hire at a startup, or shipped a product that a team still credits today.
• Ran a service business in a vertical where AI workforce tools are relevant, giving direct insight into what this platform replaces.
• Can articulate a concrete first‑90‑days plan and wants a role built around strengths rather than a fixed job description.
• Comfortable operating in a very small, fast‑moving team with high standards and high trust.

What we offer

• Compensation and equity sized for someone building the company, discussed openly on the first call.
• Relocation support and visa sponsorship are available.
