🚀 Technical Co-Founder (CTO) – Voice AI Recruiting Startup

Let’s fix what’s broken in recruiting.The hiring system is fundamentally flawed — keyword-driven, impersonal, and increasingly distorted by automation.Job boards are flooded, inboxes from hiring managers are overflow, and agencies are expensive and slow, and today’s “AI recruiting tools” only make it worse — screening for keywords instead of understanding people.At askCari.ai, we’re building a voice-based AI recruiter that brings human understanding back into hiring — capturing motivation, mindset, and cultural fit through natural, conversational AI.We already have a live MVP, early traction, and are now looking for a visionary, hands-on Technical Co-Founder (CTO) to join and lead the next stage.🎯 Your MissionYou’ll design and lead the entire deep-tech foundation of askCari.ai — from architecture to scale.Your challenge: building the technology that enables thousands of simultaneous AI interviews between candidates and hiring managers — in real time, at scale.Multi-Agent System: Design and implement intelligent, autonomous voice agents that can conduct interviews end-to-end.Scalability & Infrastructure: Build a highly available, cloud-native platform for real-time voice processing, dialogue orchestration, and data pipelines.Deep ML / RL: Develop the self-learning matching engine (Reinforcement Learning) that continuously improves interview performance and match accuracy.Data & Security: Define the standards for governance, privacy, and reliability in an AI-first environment.Team Leadership: Build and lead the future engineering and data science team.🧠 What You BringDeep Tech Expertise: Proven experience building and deploying scalable AI/ML systems (LLMs, NLP, Multi-Agent Systems, Deep Learning).Hands-on Mentality: You still love to prototype, code, and iterate quickly — especially in early-stage chaos.Systems & Scalability: Solid background in cloud architecture (GCP / AWS / Azure), distributed systems, and high-performance backends.Founder Mindset: Based in Switzerland and ready to commit full-time as a true Co-Founder with significant equity.Curiosity & Courage: You love tackling complex problems, challenging the status quo, and building things people said weren’t possible.⚙️ Our Current Tech DirectionWe’re currently building with React / Next.js, Tailwind, and Supabase — but we’re flexible for the right architecture and ideas.We’re early enough to shape the core system together, yet far enough to have real validation and product momentum.✨ Why join askCari.aiMassive Market: The $650B recruiting industry is broken — and ready for deep-tech disruption.Real Impact: Build technology that helps millions of people find jobs that truly fit them.Product Momentum: Working MVP, live tests, and a clear go-to-market plan.Strong Partnership: You’ll join me, a non-technical founder with 8+ years of experience scaling a 30-person tech recruiting business in Switzerland.Culture: Radical honesty, fast iteration, and building with purpose — no vanity metrics, no corporate BS.📩 Interested?If you want to architect the core of a next-generation AI company and build technology that genuinely makes hiring more human — we’d love to talk.👉 Apply directly!
