Build and help lead Orpex, an AI workforce infrastructure startup. The role is intentionally flexible across engineering, product, technical leadership, and company operations. The hire will define their first 90-day ownership, work directly with the founder, establish engineering and hiring standards, and build the platform for AI-powered service companies. Prior startup founding, CTO, technical founding, product shipping, or service-business operating experience is expected.

ABOUT ORPEX

The next generation of service companies won't scale through headcount. They'll be built by tiny teams orchestrating AI workforces with 1000x the output. Orpex is building the infrastructure they run on: agentic workforce, company brain, human trust layer, one cockpit to run the business.

We just raised an oversubscribed 2.7M angel round in 7 days and are moving at rapid speed.

EX-FOUNDER / EX-CTO

You've built a company before. Now build the platform that empowers the next generation of founders.

We don't have a fixed scope for this role. We build it around what you're best at. Engineering, product, or running the operating side of the company. If you can tell us what you'd own in your first 90 days, we can probably make it real. For the right technical person, this is the technical leadership seat at Orpex.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

One of these should be true:

  • You founded a venture-backed or bootstrapped company, whether or not it worked out.

  • You were CTO or first technical hire at a startup before

  • You shipped the product a team still credits you for.

  • You ran a service business and know from the inside exactly what Orpex replaces.

YOUR FIRST MONTH

  • Own it from day one. You pick the thing, you own the outcome.

  • Build with the founder. No layers, no politics, decisions in hours.

  • Set the bar. How we ship, who we hire, what good looks like.

WE OFFER

  • Compensation and equity built around you. Sized for someone building the company, not joining it. Real numbers on the first call.

  • San Francisco, in person. Relocation and visa sponsorship covered.

  • Pace and purpose. Small team, high standards, high trust, no politics.

PROCESS

  1. Short note on what you built and where you'd plug in

  2. 30-min intro call

  3. Deep dive on what you built, the decisions behind it, and what you'd own at Orpex

  4. Offer within two weeks

If you want to build something truly generational and are ready to make it your life's mission, this is for you!
