Product & Technical Co-founder – AI Compliance Platform

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

📋 Description

• Develop the initial lines of production code, set the technical vision, and oversee execution from start to finish.

• Define the essential architecture, cultivate the engineering culture, and establish a secure posture, ensuring readiness for SOC 2, tenant isolation, encryption, and audit logging.

• Launch a marketing review prototype into production in collaboration with an early adopter design partner, then provide communications surveillance, trading oversight, and audit-ready logs and reporting; deliver GA v1 encompassing all core modules except for regulatory filings within 9 months, with plans to extend into regulatory filings and enterprise integrations over the following 18 months.

• Take ownership of the training and ongoing development of the core AI/LLM model, delivering dependable and high-quality analysis.

• Manage the explainability layer that generates on-demand audit-ready evidence, and oversee the reliability engineering that guarantees consistent platform performance in real-world scenarios.

• Act as the technical representative of the company before all customer stakeholders, third-party interests, and investors.

• Transform pilots into ten paying customers and achieve $1M ARR within 18 months, collaborating with the CEO on customer conversion and fundraising efforts.

• Recruit and guide the founding engineering and applied AI team, laying the cultural groundwork for the company.

⛳️ Requirements

• Experience in deploying LLM-powered systems in production environments where incorrect outputs have significant consequences — beyond prototypes or demonstrations.

• Comprehensive confidence in full-stack technologies related to applied LLMs, RAG, retrieval, deterministic rules engines, human-in-the-loop workflows, observability, and secure multi-tenant SaaS (including SOC 2, tenant isolation, encryption, and audit logging).

• Strongly held beliefs about explainability and reliability engineering, shaped by direct production experience.

• Preference for systems that maintain consistent performance in the field rather than those that only perform well in controlled conditions.

• Willingness to function as a principal — setting the technical direction, making decisive decisions in uncertain situations, and taking responsibility for the resulting outcomes.

• Strongly preferred: previous experience as a founder, founding engineer, or in early-stage technical leadership; background in legal tech, RegTech, fintech compliance, healthcare, or other high-trust regulated sectors; familiarity with the U.S. wealth management ecosystem, including SEC and FINRA processes, marketing review, communications surveillance, and trade monitoring; direct experience in self-hosting or privately deploying foundational models.

🏝️ Benefits

• Opportunity to shape the technical vision and direction of the company.

• Work with a talented and diverse team in an innovative environment.

• Competitive compensation and equity options.

• Flexible working arrangements and a focus on work-life balance.
