Product & Technical Co-founder (CPTO) - AI Compliance Platform

We are building an explainable AI platform that reasons like a senior compliance officer, cites firm policy and SEC/FINRA regulations for every decision, and produces audit-ready evidence on demand — across marketing, communications, trading, policy, audit, and filings. The platform is designed to operate alongside the systems compliance teams already use, replacing manual review with explainable AI judgments that hold up to regulator scrutiny.

Requirements

• Shipped LLM-powered systems into production environments where incorrect outputs carried real consequences — not prototypes or demonstrations
• Full-stack confidence across applied LLMs, RAG, retrieval, deterministic rules engines, human-in-the-loop workflows, observability, and secure multi-tenant SaaS (SOC 2, tenant isolation, encryption, audit logging)
• Well-formed convictions about explainability and reliability engineering, developed through direct production experience
• Preference for systems that perform consistently in the field over systems that demonstrate well in controlled settings
• Prepared to operate as a principal — setting the technical agenda, making decisive calls under uncertainty, and owning the outcomes that follow

Benefits

• Founder-level equity
• Founder-level authority with co-decision rights on product, technology, hiring, fundraising, and strategy
• A board or board-observer seat as appropriate to the cap table and stage
• Genuine partnership with the CEO on every material decision
