Chief Technology Officer

Company Description
Life sciences sales reps spend 72% of their time on admin instead of selling. The startup is building an autonomous AI platform that handles the work they shouldn’t be doing: email drafting, meeting prep, competitor tracking, CRM updates, and daily intelligence briefings. And that’s just Sales teams; the platform will also serve Marketing, Commercial Operations, and Finance teams. The platform acts on its own without being told what to do. Think Jarvis for life sciences commercial teams.

The company is in advanced design partner discussions with life sciences commercial teams, has a pre-seed raise in progress. The founder is looking for a CTO to build this with him.

About the founder
Spent 15+ years in life sciences commercial leadership across F100 and startups. Top 1% President’s Club recipient.

He is not a technical founder trying to understand the customer. He is the customer. He built the platform because he lived the problem for fifteen years.

Who we are looking for
A builder who ships and thinks in systems, not features. Someone who wants to build a company and execute the vision for the platform, not just a product. This person will hire the first engineers, set the technical culture, and have a seat at every strategic decision.

Strong in Python and TypeScript/React. Has built multi-agent or autonomous AI systems in production, not single-chain LLM wrappers or no-code automations. Handles ambiguity well. Life sciences experience is a plus, not a requirement.

Working Partnership
The CTO owns the technical vision: architecture, tooling, and all engineering decisions. The business founder/CEO owns domain expertise, customer relationships, and go-to-market. Product decisions are made together. When there is disagreement, it gets discussed openly and resolved.

Compensation
Equity: 10% - 15% with standard four-year vesting and a one-year cliff. The exact split depends on experience and will be negotiated openly.
Candidate will start as a founding engineer (5% equity) with progression to CTO in 3 months after milestone deliveries (total equity target 10%-15% with 4 year vest, 1 year cliff)

Cash: Sustainable for pre-seed. The upside is in equity.

Location: Boston preferred. Open to remote for the right person.

Open to Part Time initially till company gets funded or gets more traction
