Founding CTO – AI/ML, Data Product

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

📋 Description

• Assess a B2B challenge where AI delivers quantifiable benefits (time, cost, risk)

• Establish a product-first MVP rather than focusing on a “cool model”

• Develop the data strategy (collection, labeling, evaluation, and monitoring)

• Deliver a dependable prototype/MVP (including APIs, pipelines, guardrails, and feedback loops)

• Create an investor-ready technology narrative (covering moat, data advantages, and roadmap)

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 7 years of experience in software engineering with a strong focus on AI/ML or data products

• Proven track record in deploying to production (understanding of MLOps, monitoring, and reliability)

• Strong product intuition: clear understanding of what constitutes “good enough” for an MVP

• Entrepreneurial mindset; desire for ownership and potential rewards rather than a service-oriented role

🏝️ Benefits

• 12-week sprint to progress from insight to MVP and subsequent iterations

• Weekly accountability and execution rhythm (approximately 10–12 hours per week)

• Access to over 500 mentors, including specialists in B2B, product, go-to-market strategies, and fundraising

• Network of 440+ alumni startups across 40+ countries for learning opportunities and introductions

• Comprehensive CTO toolkit for AI ventures: covering scope, evaluation, deployment, and crafting a “moat” narrative
