About the role

ABOUT THE ROLE Help build the infrastructure behind AI-powered service businesses, enabling small teams to coordinate AI workers and scale their operations. This is a flexible, full-time role shaped around your strengths in engineering, product, or company operations, with technical leadership scope for the right candidate. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Define what you can own and deliver during your first 90 days. - Build and ship production software directly, contributing hands-on to the platform. - Help shape the product and technical direction for tools that support AI-enabled service businesses. - Depending on your strengths, take ownership across engineering, product, or company operations. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Typically 3 to 10 or more years of experience, including founding a company or serving as a startup CTO or first technical hire. - A continuing hands-on track record building production software, rather than a primarily management-focused career. - Experience building and shipping demanding, production-grade systems, or a record of technical leadership at a high-growth startup. - Background in AI, software, or service businesses is relevant; strong technical fundamentals are valued. - Seeking a full-time role, not freelance or fractional CTO work. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Base salary is $150,000 to $250,000 annually, with equity structured around the role and candidate. Visa sponsorship is available, and relocation support is offered. LOCATION On-site in San Francisco, United States.
