Job Description

About the job

Technical Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR)The Role

We are seeking a Technical Entrepreneur in Residence to lead the development and execution of multiple high-priority projects. This is a high-leverage role for a seasoned engineer and strategist who has "been there, done that."

You will act as the technical lead across our venture portfolio, bridging the gap between raw business concepts and market-ready products. While this is not a Co-Founder role, you will be treated as a founding member of our leadership team, with a compensation package that includes a significant equity upside tied to the success of the projects you bring to life.


Key Responsibilities

Multi-Project Execution: Simultaneously oversee the technical roadmap for 24 distinct projects, ensuring rapid delivery and high standards.

Vetting & Architecture: Evaluate new business ideas for technical feasibility and design the initial architecture to ensure long-term scalability.

Fractional CTO Leadership: Lead the "build" phase for new ventures, from writing the first lines of code to hiring the dedicated engineering teams that will eventually take over.

Optimization: Audit existing technical workflows and implement modern DevOps, CI/CD, and security best practices across the board.


Experience & Requirements

Founding Experience (Required): You have previously founded a startup, served as a CTO, or been an early-stage "employee #1." You understand the pressure, the pivots, and the persistence required to build from zero.

Technical Mastery: Deep, hands-on experience in modern full-stack development. You should be comfortable leading in environments involving AI/LLMs, distributed systems, or complex SaaS architectures.

Product Intuition: You don't just build features; you build products. You can translate business KPIs into technical requirements without hand-holding.

Resourcefulness: You are an expert at doing more with lessutilizing low-code tools where they make sense and building custom, high-performance engines where they don't.


Compensation & Benefits

Base Salary: Competitive monthly compensation.

Equity Upside: A generous equity stake in the projects you lead, offering the financial rewards of a founder without the burden of solo-fundraising.

Autonomy: Complete ownership over the technical stack and development culture.

Flexibility: We are focused on output, not hours.


Ideal Candidate Profile

  • You are the person friends call when they have a "billion-dollar idea" because they know you can actually make it work. Youve likely had a successful exit or a "spectacular failure"both of which have left you with the experience to build faster and smarter than anyone else.
