Job Description
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 2–4 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. Youcan translate business KPIs into technical requirements without hand-holding.
●
Resourcefulness:
You are an expert at doing more with less—utilizing 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. You’ve 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.
