Jobs at Optimly

Optimly is a pre-seed startup backed by Forum Ventures, building the AI referral infrastructure that helps brands get discovered, trusted, and recommended by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. We’re currently hiring our Founding CTO — a hands-on technical leader who can architect scalable systems, run fast experiments, and help define a new category: AI Search Optimization (AISO). We’re looking for: - Entrepreneurial builders who thrive in zero-to-one environments - Engineers with deep experience in web crawling, LLM APIs, or data systems - People who want true founding equity and ownership in a pre-seed company Joining Optimly now means joining as a founding team member, not employee #25. You’ll work directly with our founder (ex-Discord, Meta) and alongside leading AI advisors — shaping both the product and the company from day one. If you’re excited about building at the frontier of AI + marketing and want to be part of a pre-seed company inventing the playbook for AI referrals, we’d love to talk.
