We’re building an AI productivity SaaS startup, organized as a cooperative (shared ownership based on real contribution).

We’re looking for an additional Founder focused on Technology & Engineering (CTO track).

We do not expect you to build the product, as we have already done so, but we do expect you to be hands-on.

This is a founder role, not a freelance, advisory, or employee position. Important upfront

There is no fixed cash compensation at the start

Cash payment depends entirely on revenue or external funding

You do not have to contribute any money, other cofounders have contributed enough and already cover expenses, especially product development

Once revenue or funding comes in, cash is shared among all founders What you’ll do

Technology & Architecture (core focus)

Own the technical vision and architecture of the product

Guide decisions around AI integration, scalability, and system design

Ensure high code quality, maintainability, and performance

Collaborate closely with product & design to deliver a clean, fast, intuitive UX Engineering Leadership & Process
