Technical Co-founder (CTO) - AI Collections Agent

Role Description

As Co-Founder & CTO, you will take over the production code and continue building the product, set the technical direction, and lead execution end-to-end.

• Architecture & Reliability: Harden the voice and workflow systems for in-production reliability. Establish core architecture, observability, and audit-trail standards for a product that speaks to customers' debtors on their behalf.
• Delivery Layer: Build the internal infrastructure that lets the team configure, monitor, and optimize agent performance without scaling engineering headcount. Mature the workflow engine so every call, intent classification, and next-action flows through reliably.
• Integrations & Distribution: Own the accounting and ERP integration layer (QuickBooks, Xero, and beyond) that turns Argentl from a CSV upload into an embedded part of the finance stack.
• Unit Economics: Own the trade-offs between AI quality and cost-per-call, and lock in unit economics within a productized monthly pricing model.
• Customer & Market: Represent the company in front of finance leaders, partners, and investors as the technical voice of the venture.
• Roadmap: Convert pilots into paying customers, expand the AI staff beyond collections, and begin a path toward custom and self-hosted models where data-privacy and financial-compliance requirements demand it.
• Team: Recruit and lead the founding engineering team, and establish the cultural foundation of the company.

Qualifications

• Shipped LLM-powered and voice systems into production environments where incorrect outputs carried real consequences.
• Full-stack confidence across applied LLMs, real-time voice and conversational AI, telephony, human-in-the-loop workflows, observability, and secure multi-tenant SaaS.
• Well-formed convictions about reliability engineering, edge-case management, and the trade-offs between AI quality and cost-per-call.
• Experience building managed and service-heavy platforms, with the discipline to scale delivery without scaling engineering headcount.
• Prepared to operate as a principal — including saying "this won't scale" or "this isn't ready" when the integrity of the product requires it.
• A hands-on builder — you still write code and ship, and you're happiest close to the product.

Requirements

• Finance, accounting, or FinOps background — you understand AR, DSO, aging, disputes, and how finance teams actually work.
• Based in Los Angeles or the San Francisco Bay Area (or ready to be).
• Pragmatic and creative — a solution finder who gets to "working" fast and iterates from there.
• Co-operative, strategic, and hands-on in equal measure.
• An active social media presence you can put to work for founder-led distribution.
