Technical co-founder for an AI staffing platform focused on reliability and organization-wide value. Responsible for architecture, delivery economics, and team management as part of the core team.
Responsibilities
Commitment as a Strategic Co-Founder: The successful candidate will operate as a dedicated partner focused on sustainable equity appreciation and long-term organizational value, rather than prioritizing immediate high-level compensation.
Lead with Reliability over Novelty: Architect and maintain "Ava’s" voice and workflow systems with an obsessive focus on uptime and latency. You value a system that works every time over a "clever" demo that fails in the field.
Architect the RaaS Delivery Layer: Design the internal infrastructure that enables our team to configure, monitor, and optimize AI performance behind the scenes, ensuring we scale the service without increasing engineering headcount.
Own the Technical Unit Economics: Directly manage the trade-offs between AI quality and cost-per-call. You are responsible for ensuring the technical architecture remains highly profitable within our $499/month pricing model.
Exercise High-Stakes Judgment: Navigate technical uncertainty with a steady hand. You are expected to say "this won't scale" or "this isn't ready" when necessary to protect the integrity of the product and the trust of our users.
Drive a Deep Ownership Mindset: Take full accountability for the end-to-end technical lifecycle—from the first line of code to the final outcome of a live pilot—motivated by building a tool that lawyers depend on for their livelihood.
Master Scope & Feasibility: Partner with the Founder to define the product roadmap, aggressively cutting features that threaten delivery or economics while doubling down on those that solve the lawyer’s "operational burden."
Scale the Engineering Culture: Build and lead a lean, high-leverage technical team. You will set the standard for code quality, logging, and audit trails so that every AI outcome is explainable and reviewable.
Strategic Technical Storytelling: Act as the technical face of LexStaffing during fundraising and due diligence, translating complex voice AI and telephony architecture into a compelling vision for investors and partners.
