Visspo is building the UK's leading AI-powered visa sponsorship job platform.
Every year, thousands of international students and skilled professionals waste months applying to jobs that are never going to sponsor a work visa.
We're changing that.
Our platform combines intelligent job crawling, AI-powered job analysis, sponsorship verification, and personalised job matching to help international talent find genuine sponsorship opportunities faster.
We have already built and launched our MVP and are now looking for a Technical Co-Founder to help scale the product into a category-leading platform.
About the Role
This is not a typical CTO position.
We're looking for someone who wants to build a company from the ground up.
As Technical Co-Founder, you'll own the technical vision of Visspo and work closely with the founder to shape the future of the platform.
You'll have the opportunity to build technology that could help thousands of international professionals worldwide.
