Title: Founding Tech Lead (AI & Full-Stack)
Location: Remote | Dubai-friendly hours
Stage: Pre-seed | Stealth | Equity-first
Even in a world overflowing with content, therapy, and tools, most people still don’t understand their own emotional and behavioural patterns.
We’re building an AI-native system for self-understanding — technology that helps people see themselves clearly, grow deliberately, and connect better. The opportunity is massive: to build a new category of human-centred technology.
You’ll be the first engineer and system architect, turning concept into code and research into product.
No inherited roadmap — you’ll design it from first principles.
You will:
- Architect the core: Own infrastructure decisions
- Design AI systems: Blend LLMs, RAG, and feedback loops into a continuously learning Copilot.
- Ship fast: Prototype → private beta → live product — with a bias toward learning velocity.
- Shape culture: Set technical standards and hire the first team once we raise.
Not looking for a job — looking for a mission.
You want to own something that can outlive you.
You bring:
- 7-10 years shipping AI-enabled or full-stack products end-to-end.
- Fluency in LLM APIs, vector DBs, LangChain / LangGraph or similar orchestration.
- Systems-level thinking + strong product taste.
- Comfort with uncertainty and self-direction.
- A real interest in human psychology or behavioural design.
Nice-to-haves → experience with adaptive systems, psychometrics, or early-stage founding.
- Founding-Level Equity (4-year vesting, 1-year cliff).
- A Strategic Partnership — this is not employment. You will have full ownership of the technical vision and architecture.
- Investor Visibility — Your technical architecture and product demos will headline our fundraise conversations.
- A Legacy Mission — Build AI that tangibly improves human quality of life in a way that has never been done before.
