About the Role We are seeking a Technical Co-Founder / CTO who is ready to take the lead in building a category-defining hiring platform. You will be responsible for transforming the founder's 20+ years of industry insights into a scalable, AI-driven product.

You will shape the direction, own the technical strategy, and share in the success of the company. What You'll Do • Own the product architecture and technical roadmap from day one through to scaling. • Lead the development of core platform features, including user profiles, a matching engine, and notifications. • Deliver AI/ML-powered products, such as semantic search, recommendations, and signal-driven matching. • Establish coding standards, development practices, and release processes (SDLC + PDLC). • Build and lead a small, talented technical team (including full-stack developers, AI specialists, and interns). • Ensure that user experience (UX) and front-end quality remain world-class. • Balance speed and scalability: deliver quickly while building for the long term.
