Co-founder – Chief Technology Officer, AI ROI Measurement Platform

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in California.

📋 Description

• You will be responsible for writing the initial lines of production code.

• You will define the architecture, data model, engineering culture, and security posture.

• You will serve as the company's representative to CIOs, Chief AI Officers, CFOs, security teams, and investors.

• You will recruit and lead the founding engineering and applied AI team, receiving founder-level equity, authority, and a true partnership with the CEO on all significant decisions.

• In the first three months, you will collaborate with a design partner to ship the discovery layer, which includes a browser extension and endpoint agent that captures AI usage across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and more without vendor-specific integrations. You will also establish the core architecture and implement a 15-minute refresh pipeline.

• During months three to six, you will deliver the Utilization × Proficiency × Value framework, featuring the first GitHub/Jira correlation for engineering ROI. You will convert three paid pilots and initiate SOC 2 Type II readiness with zero-content-retention as a non-negotiable design constraint.

• In months six to nine, you will launch GA v1, which encompasses discovery, analytics, proficiency benchmarking, and governance controls in accordance with the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, and NIST AI RMF. You will convert pilots to ten paying enterprise customers and finalize pricing, including outcome-based pricing based on captured savings.

• From months nine to eighteen, you will deliver the governed AI access hub and expand into a vertical specialization — likely an autonomous AI FinOps agent for a regulated industry — that no horizontal incumbent can feasibly follow. You will aim to achieve $1M ARR and build out the founding team.

⛳️ Requirements

• You have successfully shipped data-intensive, multi-tenant SaaS solutions into enterprise production, with buyers that include CIOs, CFOs, and CISOs.

• You possess comprehensive knowledge of the full stack: browser extensions and endpoint agents, high-throughput event ingestion, real-time analytics pipelines, applied LLMs, and prompt-quality evaluation, as well as the requirements of secure multi-tenant SaaS (SOC 2, tenant isolation, audit logging, data residency).

• You have developed strong convictions regarding telemetry design, privacy-preserving instrumentation, and the distinction between observation and surveillance — gained through practical experience rather than theoretical knowledge.

• You prefer systems that deliver consistent performance across diverse enterprise environments rather than those that excel only in controlled settings.

• You are ready to operate as a principal — establishing the technical agenda, making decisive choices in uncertain situations, and taking ownership of outcomes.

• Strongly preferred: prior experience as a founder or in early-stage technical leadership roles.

• A background in enterprise observability, FinOps, security analytics, or governance/GRC platforms — areas where buyers seek auditable evidence over narrative.

• Direct experience in shipping browser extensions or endpoint agents at an enterprise scale.

• Experience with applied LLM evaluation, including prompt-quality scoring, output benchmarking, or model-routing systems, along with an understanding of the cost, quality, and privacy trade-offs of self-hosting foundational models.

🏝️ Benefits

• Founder-level equity. A substantial ownership stake, structured for long-term value creation and aligned across funding rounds.

• Founder-level authority. Co-decision rights regarding product, technology, hiring, fundraising, and strategy. A board or board-observer seat, as appropriate to the capitalization table and stage.

• A dedicated partner in the FutureSight co-founding team.

• Pre-seed capital. FutureSight will invest directly in the venture at the pre-seed stage.
