Job Description
About the Role
This is a founding-team seat at an early-stage AI infrastructure startup building the operating layer for AI-native service businesses. The role is deliberately unscoped: it is built around your strengths, whether that is engineering, product, or running the operating side of the company. For the right technical person, this is the technical leadership seat.
What You'll DoDefine and own your first-90-day scope across engineering, product, or operations, then drive it to completion.
Shape the architecture and direction of an agentic workforce platform used by founders and operators to run lean, AI-powered businesses.
Work closely with the founder to set technical and product strategy at the earliest, highest-leverage stage of company building.
Help hire and set the bar for the first engineering team.
Has founded a venture-backed or bootstrapped company, regardless of outcome, OR served as CTO or first technical hire at a startup, OR shipped a product a team still credits you for, OR ran a service business in a vertical this platform is designed to replace.
Can articulate a concrete, opinionated plan for what you would own and deliver in your first 90 days.
Thrives in a small, high-trust, high-standards environment without established process.
Comfortable with ambiguity and excited to build the role around your strengths rather than a fixed job description.
Compensation and equity are sized for someone building the company, not joining it, with specifics discussed on the first call. Relocation support and visa sponsorship are available.
LocationOn-site in San Francisco, CA, United States.
