Job description
We are looking for a Chief Technology Officer with 5+ years of experience to own the technical vision and lead engineering at a well-funded AI safety applied-research lab. You'll work alongside the founders to build evaluations that identify AI's legal failure modes, create training environments that reduce them, and ship real-time guardrails that enforce compliance in production — starting with financial services.
What will you be doing?
Building legal evaluations (RL environments) to measure AI's failure modes in financial services
Productionizing the existing research MVP into real-time guardrails for design partners
Setting technical architecture and research direction alongside the founders
Hiring and mentoring engineers in your first year to build out the engineering team
Working hands-on with design partners — iterating directly on their needs while building core infrastructure
Experience hiring engineers, growing teams, and building systems from 0-1
Experience building eval harnesses, RL environments, or training pipelines
Baseline
Seniority
Experience as a CTO, Head of Engineering, or engineering leader
Experience building and deploying AI or LLM products
