I've worked in the industry for 15years.</p> <p><strong>What We’ve Built So Far</strong><br> We aren't a "vague AI idea." We have:</p> <ul> <li>20% of our core product is built</li> <li>Currently in an accelerator program with investor commitment</li> <li>An active enterprise pilot pipeline with major logos </li> <li>Actively raising $300K bridge round to fund our immediate launch roadmap.</li> </ul> <p><strong>The Tech Challenge (What You’ll Own)</strong><br> We are building a Contract-to-Cash Vertical OS. Your primary playground will be completing core architecture and expanding our AI Deal Desk, moving away from static SaaS. </p> <ul> <li>The Stack Goal: Building an intelligent AI that autonomously ingest/parse unstructured legal contracts, extract complex deliverables/payment schedules. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Who You Are</strong></p> <ul> <li><p>A senior full-stack developer who can take over the deployment pipeline.</p></li> <li><p>Obsessed with clean data structures, LLM orchestration/parsing accuracy, and securing payment infrastructure.</p></li> <li><p>Ready to step into a Founding Team / Technical Partner role.</p></li> </ul> <p><strong>The Deal</strong><br> We are currently filling this as a Founding Equity role while we close the bridge round through the accelerator. Once the bridge closes, this triggers a competitive base salary, but the real upside is significant equity ownership in a company digitizing a massive, untouched transaction layer.</p> <p>If you are tired of building generic CRUD apps and want to build autonomous financial infrastructure that will immediately hit enterprise users, let’s talk.</p> <p>Drop a comment below, or DM me, with a link to your GitHub/Portfolio. MUST BE US or CANADA-based.</p> <h1> startup, #career, #showdev, and #ai. </h1> ai architecture career startup
