Role Overview

We’re launching an internal AI / LLM venture and seeking a true co-founder who will lead our technical vision, drive product development, and build a world-class data science practice. You’ll partner directly with leadership, own the roadmap for th products, and help spin out a high-growth AI startup from within our organization.

Key Responsibilities

  • Technical Leadership : Define and execute the end-to-end AI / LLM technical strategy—from data ingestion and model selection to fine-tuning, scaling, and deployment.
  • Product Development : Collaborate with product management to translate market needs into AI features; prototype rapidly and move to production.
  • Team Building : Recruit, mentor, and manage data scientists, ML engineers, and AI researchers. Establish best practices for MLOps, A / B testing, and monitoring.
  • Incubation & Operations : Set up infrastructure, tooling, and processes to support agile experimentation and continuous iteration within the incubator.
  • Stakeholder Alignment : Present technical plans, milestones, and trade-offs to executive sponsors; coordinate with legal, security, and compliance for data governance.
  • Go-to-Market Support : Work alongside go-to-market teams to craft demos, pilot programs, and proofs-of-concept that showcase our LLM capabilities to early customers.
  • Equity & Ownership : Act as a true co-founder with an equity stake—aligning long-term incentives on growth, fundraising, and exit strategies.

Required Qualifications

  • Proven Co-Founder / Leadership Experience : Founded or co-founded at least one AI or data-centric startup, or led a ground-up AI initiative with demonstrable impact.
  • Deep Data Science Expertise : Example : Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Statistics, or related field; 3+ years in data science or ML engineering roles.
  • LLM Mastery : Hands-on experience fine-tuning, evaluating, and deploying large-language models (e.g., GPT, LLaMA, Mistral) at scale.
  • Production-Grade ML Ops : Expertise with infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker), data pipelines (Airflow, Prefect), and model-serving frameworks (TensorFlow Serving, TorchServe).
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration : Track record partnering with product, design, and commercial teams to ship AI-driven features under tight timelines.
  • Fundraising Savvy : Comfortable presenting technical vision to investors and participating in pitch decks, due diligence, and board meetings.
  • Preferred Experience

  • Successful exit or fundraising round in an AI-focused venture
  • Open-source contributions in NLP or ML communities.
  • Familiarity with prompt engineering frameworks and evaluation metrics for generative AI.
  • What We Offer

  • Equity & Co-Founder Status : Significant founder equity in the new venture alongside a competitive salary.
  • Autonomy & Resources : Backing from our parent company’s engineering, design, and go-to-market teams plus a dedicated R&D budget.
  • Growth & Impact : A rare opportunity to incubate a cutting-edge business from day one and shape the future of AI within a growing organization.
