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 authority, not a salaried executive role, requiring a full‑time, exclusive commitment to building and owning a single B2B AI venture. You will work alongside a proven venture‑building team (John Carbrey, Joshua Auslander, Alan Smith, Prathna Ramesh) and receive pre‑seed capital, embedded design/engineering/growth/fundraising support, and access to an investor and advisor network.

Responsibilities

• Technical Direction – own problem framing, architecture, system design, and product judgment; translate rough product intent into structure, context, and specs for humans and AI systems.
• Build – use modern tools and frontier models to move fast without sacrificing quality; design agentic systems with first‑principles thinking, knowing when orchestration adds leverage versus when simplicity is better.
• Customer & Market – be the primary technical voice in early customer conversations, understand real workflows, and shape the right product.
• Traction Before Scale – prove there is something worth scaling before thinking about scaling; focus on traction first and team‑building second.
• Capital – contribute to fundraising, from investor conversations to due diligence.
• Team – recruit and grow a technical team when the time is right, and establish the cultural foundation of the company.

Qualifications

• Proven track record of shipping AI products to real users under real‑world constraints (not just 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; fundraising experience a strong plus.
• Founder at heart – energized by ambiguity, able to go far alone, and ready to commit fully.
