Technical Co-founder (CTO)

About the role

FutureSight is seeking an applied AI builder to co‑found and lead the technical direction of a new B2B AI venture from the ground up. This is a co‑founder partnership with founder‑level equity and founder‑level 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. If you've gone from ambiguity to working product before — and you want to do it again with the backing of an experienced venture building team — this is the opportunity. This is a full‑time, exclusive commitment to building and owning a single B2B AI venture from the ground up.

Responsibilities

• Own problem framing, architecture, system design, and product judgment from day one, translating rough product intent into structure, context, and specs that both humans and AI systems can execute against.
• Build using modern tools and frontier models to move fast without sacrificing quality or maintainability, designing agentic systems with first‑principles thinking and knowing 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 rather than just shipping quickly.
• Focus on traction before scale — 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, and establish the cultural foundation of the company.

Requirements

• Proven track record of shipping AI products to real users under real‑world constraints — not research, experiments, or prototypes.
• Deep practical experience with frontier models, LLM‑based systems, and agentic architectures, with strong system design instincts and a bias for simplicity and maintainability.
• Strong translation‑layer skills — able to turn messy product intent into clear structure, constraints, and specs that both humans and AI systems can act on.
• Close to the customer, comfortable in customer conversations, and able to let real workflows shape what you build.
• Rigorous about verification — feedback loops, evaluation, and systems that can be trusted.
• Prior experience as a technical co‑founder or early engineering leader, with fundraising experience a strong plus.
• Founder at heart — energized by ambiguity, able to go far alone, and ready to commit fully.
