About this job

About the Role

Help build an AI workforce platform for service businesses, joining an early team in a technical leadership role. The scope is flexible and can center on engineering, product, or company operations, depending on where you can make the greatest impact.

What You'll Do

  • Define what you can own and deliver during your first 90 days.

  • Build and shape the platform that helps small teams coordinate AI workers and run their businesses.

  • Contribute across engineering, product, or operating work based on your strengths and the needs of the company.

  • Help establish the technical direction and execution approach as the team grows.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 3 years of relevant experience, with a background that may include founding a company, serving as a startup CTO or first technical hire, or leading a product or service business.

  • Experience building and shipping a product or company, including lessons learned from ventures that did not succeed.

  • Interest in AI and the infrastructure, product, or operational challenges of AI-enabled service businesses.

  • Willingness to take on a full-time role, rather than freelance or fractional CTO work.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary is $150,000 to $250,000 annually, with equity designed around the role and candidate. Visa sponsorship is available, and relocation support is offered.

Location

On-site in San Francisco, United States, six days per week. Candidates must be based in San Francisco or willing to relocate.
