Head of Technology and Engineering

Competitive Cash + Meaningful Equity
One of Eden Prescott’s AI clients is hiring a founding CTO to help build a category-defining company at the intersection of AI, simulation, and real-world decision making

This is an opportunity to join at the earliest stage, work directly with the founders, and build both the technology and engineering organization from the ground up.

Our client is building an AI platform that helps organizations model, simulate, and optimize complex real-world systems before decisions are made.

Their technology combines large-scale simulation, AI, and modern software infrastructure to solve problems where mistakes are expensive and the physical world is difficult to predict. Initial customers operate in industries with highly complex operations, but the long‑term vision extends far beyond a single market.

You’ll be the technical co‑pilot to the founders, responsible for defining the engineering vision, building the platform, recruiting an elite engineering team, and helping shape every major technical decision. You’ll spend your time writing code, designing systems, speaking with customers, recruiting exceptional talent, and solving some of the hardest technical problems the business faces.

Design the architecture powering AI‑driven simulation and decision‑making systems.

Lead product architecture across backend infrastructure, AI systems, developer tooling, and cloud infrastructure.

Work directly with customers to understand real‑world operational challenges and rapidly translate them into product.

Experience building products from 0→1 at an early‑stage startup.

Exceptional software engineering and systems design fundamentals.

Deep expertise in distributed systems and cloud infrastructure.

Experience building highly scalable backend platforms.

Familiarity with AI/ML infrastructure and deploying production AI systems.

Bonus Points

Simulation, robotics, autonomy, or physical AI experience.

Experience building platforms that combine AI with real‑world operational data.

Experience working in industrial, logistics, manufacturing, infrastructure, or similarly complex environments. You want to build one of the defining AI companies of the next decade.

You enjoy building elite teams as much as building software.

You want your fingerprints on every part of the company.

Founding executive position with significant equity upside.

Solve problems that combine AI, distributed systems, and complex real‑world environments.

Help define the future of how AI is applied outside the confines of traditional software.
