Technical Co-Founder, CTO
We are looking to connect with an exceptional Europe-based Technical Co-Founder / CTO for an early-stage B2B AI engineering software venture.
The project sits at the intersection of enterprise data infrastructure, applied AI, knowledge systems and CAE.
The immediate priority is highly hands-on: you will personally build the first MVP end to end, owning the architecture, coding, deployment and technical delivery before growing the engineering team.
Profile
We are looking for someone with strong experience across several of the following areas:
- Applied AI systems: production-grade LLM applications, RAG, agentic workflows, semantic search, embeddings, evaluation and source-grounded outputs
- Knowledge and data modelling: knowledge graphs, metadata models, ontologies, entity resolution, lineage and relationship-based retrieval
- Data infrastructure: backend architecture, ingestion pipelines, indexing, storage systems, distributed processing and scalable data platforms
- Complex file and data ingestion: extracting structured information from heterogeneous files, documents, logs, technical formats and large datasets
- Enterprise deployment: private cloud, VPC, on-premise or air-gapped environments, containerized deployment, identity and access management, auditability and observability
- Security and data governance: role-based access, permission-aware retrieval, encryption, tenant isolation, source traceability and enterprise-grade security practices
- Zero-to-one execution: building and shipping a serious product or platform from scratch, not only prototypes or research projects
- Hands-on: comfortable personally owning architecture, coding, deployment and technical delivery during the early stage.
- Technical leadership: owning architecture and roadmap, making pragmatic build-versus-buy decisions, and recruiting a strong technical team
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Experience with HPC, CAE, CAD, Physics, simulation data, PLM systems or industrial workflows is valuable, but not essential. Evidence of having built and shipped complex systems matters more.
