Technical Co-Founder / CTO — Prythos Equity-Based
· Full-Time
· Founder-Level Role (MVP Stage) We’re looking for a Technical Co-Founder / CTO to build Prythos. Prythos is building an AI-native revenue infrastructure for export businesses, starting with our first product: the Prythos Export Revenue Agent. The vision is simple: Turn the messy, manual export-sales process into an intelligent, automated revenue system. Today, exporters manage RFQs, buyer qualification, quotations, follow-ups and deal tracking across emails, WhatsApp, PDFs, spreadsheets and disconnected systems. We're building a system that brings this entire journey together: RFQ → Qualification → Quote → Follow-up → Outcome What We're Building The Prythos Export Revenue Agent will understand an export opportunity from the moment an RFQ arrives and help move it toward revenue. It will eventually be able to: Understand RFQs from emails, PDFs, spreadsheets and other channels Extract products, quantities, specifications, destinations, timelines and requirements Qualify buyers and opportunities based on business context and historical data Help generate intelligent quotations using product, pricing and customer information Track conversations and understand the current stage of an prospect Determine when and how to follow up Learn from won, lost, delayed and negotiated opportunities Continuously build intelligence around what converts and why This is not another CRM with an AI chatbot on top. We're building an intelligence layer that understands the commercial workflow and economics of export businesses.
The Role As CTO, you'll be one of the core builders of Prythos. You'll own and shape: Product Development + AI + Architecture + Technical Strategy You'll work directly with the founder, customers and the product itself — not just manage a team. We're looking for someone who is: A strong, hands-on software engineer Obsessed with technology and genuinely loves building Products Comfortable with backend systems, APIs, databases and cloud infrastructure. Excited about AI, LLMs, agents, Workflow automation, fine tuning the models, RAG, data and intelligent systems Strong at turning ambiguous problems into reliable solutions Product-minded and willing to talk directly to customers Ideally familiar with export / international trade / B2B workflows Comfortable building from 0 → 1 (As we're at MVP Stage) Willing to make difficult technical decisions and own the consequences The exact tech stack matters less than your engineering depth and ability to learn fast. The Most Important Part Patience & Resilience. This isn't a “build an MVP in 30 days and move on” opportunity. We're solving messy, real-world problems. AI will fail. Data will be incomplete. Integrations will break.
Our assumptions will be wrong. Some things will need to be rebuilt. There will be periods where progress is slow and frustrating. We need someone who doesn't quit when things get difficult. Someone who is willing to spend months understanding a hard problem if that's what it takes to build the right solution. Someone who thinks long-term and wants to build something substantial, defensible and technically exceptional. What You Get This is a genuine equity-based co-founder opportunity, not an employee role disguised as one. You'll have the opportunity to: Build the core technology from scratch Define the architecture and engineering culture Shape the product and AI strategy Build proprietary data and intelligence systems Eventually build and lead the engineering organization Own a meaningful part of the company Help shape Prythos from its earliest stage. We're looking for a builder who wants to say: “I didn't join this company. I helped build it.” Who Should Reach Out? If you're a serious software engineer, deeply curious about AI, comfortable with uncertainty, and excited by the idea of spending the next few years solving a genuinely difficult problem in global trade — let's talk. Don't send only a résumé. Tell us: What is the hardest thing you've built? What went wrong? How did you solve it? And why do you want to build Prythos?
