Founding CTO / Technology Leader – AI Career IntelligenceAbout the Opportunity

SkillsCapital is looking for an exceptional Chief Technology Officer (CTO) / Founding Technology Leader to lead the technology vision, AI architecture, product engineering, and technology strategy behind our next major growth opportunity: a global AI-native Career Intelligence platform for technology professionals.

This is not a traditional CTO role focused on managing engineering teams, maintaining existing systems, or executing a fixed roadmap. It is a builder's role.

You are not starting from zero. SkillsCapital already has an operational technology foundation, including an AI-Native Talent Engine, proprietary Talent Intelligence capabilities, and Agentic AI-driven workflows deployed in real business environments.

Your opportunity is to extend this foundation into a new B2C opportunity at the intersection of AI, Talent Intelligence, CareerTech, professional technology, and the Future of Work.

You'll work directly with the founders and leadership team to architect and build the next generation of AI-powered products.

- Agentic AI
- Intelligent matching and evaluation
- Semantic intelligence
- Workflow automation
- Talent data and intelligence
- Expert-led validation
- Deployment-readiness intelligence

These capabilities are production-ready, operational, and deployed in real business workflows.

Over the past year, we have:

- Built a growing network of deeply vetted, deployment-ready technology professionals

We are now applying this technology foundation to AI Career Intelligence for individual professionals.

The Vision: AI Career Intelligence

We are building an AI-native Career Intelligence platform for technology professionals.

The vision is to create a more intelligent way for professionals to understand, manage, and advance their careers by combining:

Professional Intelligence + Market Intelligence + AI-powered Recommendations + Personalized Insights + Intelligent Workflows

Rather than another resume tool, job portal, or career application, we aim to build a new intelligence layer around the professional and their career journey.

The platform will leverage:

Talent Intelligence + AI + Semantic Intelligence + Matching + Evaluation + Agentic Workflows + Technology-Market Intelligence

The roadmap will evolve through customer discovery, experimentation, and technology innovation.

The CTO will define what this platform becomes, how its intelligence layer is architected, how existing technology is extended, and how the platform scales globally.

What You'll Own1. Extend the Existing AI Foundation

Leverage and evolve the AI-Native Talent Engine, Talent Intelligence platform, matching and evaluation systems, Agentic AI workflows,



semantic intelligence, and data infrastructure for the B2C Career Intelligence opportunity.

2. Define Technology Vision

Own the long-term technology architecture and engineering strategy for the Career Intelligence platform.

3. Architect the Intelligence Layer

Design architecture supporting professional intelligence, market intelligence, recommendations, personalization, and AI-powered workflows.

4. Lead AI & LLM Strategy

Determine how to use:

- LLMs and AI agents
- RAG
- Semantic search
- Recommendation systems
- Machine learning
- Knowledge graphs
- Structured intelligence
- Workflow automation

to create differentiated product experiences.

5. Build the Product

Work with founders and product leadership to turn the vision into a production product. Determine what to build, reuse, redesign, automate, and where AI should be applied.

6. Build Scalable Architecture

Design a secure, scalable, cloud-native platform capable of supporting a rapidly growing global professional user base.

7. AI Evaluation & Quality

Build systems to evaluate AI quality, recommendations, matching, ranking, personalization, reliability, accuracy, agent performance, and user outcomes.

8. Lead Engineering

Initially, this is a hands-on builder role, contributing directly across architecture, critical systems, AI infrastructure, and product engineering. As the platform scales, build and lead the engineering and AI organization.

9. Data & Intelligence Platform

Extend existing intelligence infrastructure to support the B2C platform and growing qualified user base.

10. Product & Business Strategy

Work with founders on product strategy, technology roadmap, AI/data strategy, differentiation, monetization, partnerships, scaling, and global expansion.

- Long-term wealth creation potential
- High-impact strategic ownership
- Competitive structure based on experience and commitment
- Significant upside tied to product, technology, and business growth

For the right person, this can evolve into a true founding technology leadership position with meaningful participation in the value created.

This is not designed for someone seeking a conventional corporate CTO role with a large established team, fixed roadmap, or high fixed salary without accountability and execution.

It is best suited for someone excited by ownership, AI, product creation, scale, and long-term value creation.

How to Apply

Send your resume to [email protected] with:

- A short note explaining why this opportunity excites you
- Links to products, AI systems, platforms, or companies you've helped build
- Your GitHub, portfolio, or LinkedIn, if applicable
- Examples of significant technology or product decisions you've owned
- A brief note on your experience with AI, LLMs, consumer products, recommendation, or intelligence systems
- Your expectations around compensation and ownership

We care more about what you've actually built and the problems you've solved than your title.

If you want to take an already operational AI-native technology foundation and help transform it into a globally scalable AI Career Intelligence platform, we'd love to hear from you.
