Entrepreneur in Residence - Technical Co-founder (CTO)

About the role

This is a co-founder partnership with founder-level equity and authority, not a salaried executive role. We are looking for someone who can take a vague problem, frame it clearly, design the right system, and turn it into something customers actually use and trust.

Responsibilities

• Set the venture's technical direction and lead its execution
• Own problem framing, architecture, system design, and product judgment from day one
• Translate rough product intent into structure, context, and specs that both humans and AI systems can execute against
• Use modern tools and frontier models to move fast without sacrificing quality or maintainability
• Design agentic systems with first-principles thinking and know when orchestration adds genuine leverage versus when simplicity is the better call
• Be the primary technical voice in early customer conversations, understanding real workflows and shaping the right product
• Prove there is something worth scaling before thinking about scaling it, focusing on traction first and team-building second
• Contribute to fundraising, from investor conversations to due diligence
• Recruit and grow a technical team when the time is right
• Establish the cultural foundation of the company

Requirements

• Proven track record of shipping AI products to real users under real-world constraints
• Deep practical experience with frontier models, LLM-based systems, and agentic architectures
• Strong system design instincts and a bias for simplicity and maintainability
• Rigorous about verification — feedback loops, evaluation, and systems that can be trusted
• Prior experience as a technical co-founder or early engineering leader

Qualifications

• Strong translation layer skills — able to turn messy product intent into clear structure, constraints, and specs that both humans and AI systems can act upon
• Close to the customer, comfortable in customer conversations, and able to let real workflows shape what you build
• Founder at heart — energized by ambiguity, able to go far alone, and ready to commit fully

Skills

• Frontier models
• LLM-based systems
• Agentic architectures
• System design
• Product judgment
• Customer conversations
• Verification

Benefits

• Founder-level equity with meaningful ownership from inception, aligned across funding rounds
• Founder-level authority, including co-decision rights on product, technology, hiring, fundraising, and strategy
• Pre-seed capital committed by FutureSight for early hires and MVP development, with potential for follow-on funding
• A proven process and playbook for taking ventures from 0 to 1, informed by our team's prior experience and mistakes
• Venture building and scaling resources, including embedded design, engineering, growth, and fundraising support from day one
• Embedded investor and advisor network across B2B AI and early-stage capital markets
• A true co-creation model in which you operate as CTO with FutureSight's cross-functional team as your partner — building alongside you
