Job Description
American AI & Automation (AAIA) has built high-performing divisions in enterprise, government, and education — and now we’re launching our consumer/SaaS arm. This isn’t a test run. It’s a focused expansion with serious capital and serious expectations. We are hiring a world-class CTO to lead this division’s technical vision and execution. No passengers. No “pretty good” engineers. We’re looking for a top-tier builder, fluent in LLMs, infrastructure, and rapid product development — someone who has shipped complex, AI-powered products that actually scale. This is a rare opportunity to own the tech stack from day one, backed by a proven AI company with traction across multiple sectors. What You’ll Do: • Own the entire technical function of the consumer/SaaS division — no layers, no confusion • Build and ship AI products from zero to market — quickly, cleanly, and securely • Architect scalable systems that balance performance, flexibility, and speed • Work directly with LLMs, embeddings, vector stores, fine-tuning, and prompt pipelines • Set the standards for quality, security, and documentation — no legacy code, no bloat • Recruit, lead, and manage an elite engineering team as the division grows Must-Have: • Proven history of shipping consumer-facing AI products (LLMs or adjacent tech) • Experience as founding or lead engineer at a startup — not just a cog in a large org • Deep knowledge of Python, JS/TS, cloud infrastructure, and modern AI frameworks • Obsession with clean architecture, speed, and user experience • Ability to move between high-level strategy and low-level implementation seamlessly • Comfort operating without hand-holding or excessive planning cycles • Bonus: experience building modular AI infrastructure across multiple product lines Compensation: • Performance-based hourly: $100–$200/hr, based on delivery and outcomes • Equity up to 25–40% depending on role structure and contribution • Path to hybrid comp model: base + equity + rev share • No income ceiling — your value scales with your results What You Get: • A real seat at the table — you’ll shape the direction, not just the tech • The backing of a company with existing clients, revenue, and capital • Total control over how we build, who we hire, and what we ship • Full remote flexibility (US preferred), async-friendly team • Clean slate to build best-in-class AI products without compromise If you’re not in the top 1% of builders, this isn’t your role. If you are — and you’re ready to prove it — send something real. Code, product, stack breakdown, demo. We’re listening.
