About the role

Ready to disrupt recruitment? We're ambi.careers – not your average recruitment agency. We're building a talent marketplace and other AI powered recruitment tools, to connect brilliant professionals with startups and scaleups that are changing the game. The opportunity: Simple – we want to really step up our tech products and need a Co-founder/CTO to help us define the vision and scale. You'll lead technical development and help shape the product — while keeping things simple, lean, and focused on real value. You can freelance elsewhere in the beginning. There’s no salary at this stage — but there’s equity, ownership, and freedom. What we’ve built so far: A working AI-powered sourcing tool; Real jobs, candidates, and data flowing through the system; Early version of our market insights module; A talent marketplace and job board creator we already run for VC funds; A lean and validated roadmap for real client impact; Real users using this every week.

Are hands-on with code (especially Python, APIs, AI integrations) Have practical experience using AI (e.g. LLMs, Gemini, scraping, automations) Know how to build lean backend-first MVPs (FastAPI, Streamlit, etc.) Enjoy building things people use — fast, smart, and without BS Want equity and money from a real, potential bootstrapped product See yourself scaling this with us (even slowly at first) You've built software for HR-tech, marketplaces, or similar platforms You're wasted as just an employee – you want to build something that matters You've got hands-on AI experience and can see its potential in recruitment Your English is good (our clients and candidates are primarily native speakers) You have a genuine growth mindset and want to build something from the ground up You can commit real time to this – not just scraps after your day job
