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.
Are you ready to shape the future of hiring?
