This is a true co-founder seat — not a senior hire executing a predetermined roadmap. As an equal co-founder and CTO, you will own the research agenda, shape the product vision, and build the technical team at an early-stage AI video advertising platform with real traction, a running flywheel, and several consequential technical decisions still deliberately open for you to make.
Define and drive the company's core research agenda and long-term technical strategy.
Own product direction end-to-end, from architecture through to user-facing features.
Make significant, open-ended technical and product decisions independently and with authority.
Build and lead the engineering team as the company scales.
Collaborate as an equal co-founder on overall company direction, culture, and strategy.
4–16 years of experience in technical roles, with demonstrated leadership at a senior or founding level.
Exceptional engineering ability and comfort operating at both a strategic and hands-on level.
Background in AI, machine learning, or generative video/media systems is highly relevant.
Track record of making high-stakes technical decisions with real ownership and accountability.
Thrives in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment where key decisions remain open by design.
Able to commit fully (full-time, 6–7 days per week) and work in person in San Francisco.
Equity: Equal co-founder equity (~28%).
Visa sponsorship: Not available.
On-site in San Francisco, CA. In-person presence is required.
