Role Description We're looking for a Founding CTO to lead the technical build of IRIS, shape product and architecture from day one, and grow the engineering team as the company scales. - Translate real-world network behaviour into structured data and intelligent, AI-driven workflows. - Own the product architecture from MVP to scale across email, WhatsApp, phone and web, on a secure, serverless cloud foundation. - Design AI systems with a strong focus on safety, fairness, privacy and transparency, ensuring recommendations and matching logic are responsible, explainable and free from harmful bias. - Implement best practices for AI governance, model evaluation and responsible data usage as the platform scales. - Understand user requirements and work with the CEO to build the technical strategy and roadmap. - Be hands on and build and lead the engineering team as the company grows. Qualifications - Strong AI engineering background, with hands-on experience building and scaling AI or data-driven products in production. - Experience building trustworthy AI products, including model evaluation, bias mitigation, privacy-preserving systems and safe deployment practices. - Deep technical familiarity with modern cloud and serverless infrastructure. - Ability to move fast from zero to one with limited resources. - Product-minded engineer who understands user behaviour and real-world workflows (you prioritise frictionless data capture over clunky UI layers). - Comfortable with ambiguity and shaping technical direction. - Experience in the venture ecosystem is a strong advantage. - Willing to work close to European hours. Benefits - Build a product that meaningfully changes who gets funded. - Shape a new category of AI product, one that lives where people already work and acts on their behalf, not behind another chat window. - Founding equity, high ownership, real impact. - Work directly with a founder who has built and raised VC capital before (Cellcraft, Series A in progress). - Shape the technical and ethical foundations of the product from day one.
