Founded 2023

• 1–10 people (Seed)
• Industry: AI Tools / Voice AI

The Role

Lead the day-to-day running of a four-person engineering team (which includes the CTO) as a hands-on tech lead — owning architecture, prioritization, and engineering process while continuing to write code.

Tech stack: Full-stack applications, cloud / software architecture, LLMs.

Requirements

• On-site in SF, Monday–Friday
• 6+ years of engineering experience, most recently as a staff engineer, tech lead, or engineering manager
• Hands-on engineering-team management experience
• Full-stack and cloud/software-architecture depth, including LLMs
• Conversational- or voice-AI company experience (a strong plus)

Nice to Haves

• Startup pedigree at a high-caliber fintech or developer-tools company
• Previous tech-lead or engineering-management experience at a conversational-AI company
• CTO-level thinking paired with hands-on execution

Why Join

• A CTO-track role: framed as a CTO-like next hire to take day-to-day engineering leadership off the CTO — described as one of the most important hires of the year
• High-growth traction: doubled ARR in H1 and targeting another 2x in H2
• Ownership plus hands-on: final say on prioritization and architecture while still contributing code 20–30% of the time
