Melbourne, Victoria, Australia saas nine Full time $120,000 - $200,000 per year

Melbourne (Hybrid) / Remote AU

Seed-Funded | Founding Team Role | Equity Available

We're assembling the founding team for a new, purpose-driven
AI-powered wellbeing platform
designed to support people navigating significant life changes. Backed by early seed capital and guided by a clear product vision, this is an opportunity to help shape a category-defining solution in one of the fastest-growing sectors of the consumer AI market.

As our
CTO / Technical Architect
, you'll play a foundational role in designing, building, and scaling the entire technology ecosystem — from the AI engine to the product infrastructure and long-term technical roadmap.

This is a rare opportunity: it's early enough to define everything, and it's funded enough to build correctly.

What You'll Lead

End-to-end ownership of the
technical architecture
, engineering decisions, and product delivery.

Designing the core
AI/LLM engine
, including:

  • personalised behaviour models
  • journaling analysis and insight extraction
  • data structuring and secure knowledge graphs

  • conversational agents and intervention logic

  • Building the platform from zero → MVP → V1 → scale.

  • Establishing secure data pipelines and governance frameworks.

Driving integration with:

  • mobile app frameworks
  • secure user data stores
  • payment systems
  • legal/financial document readers

  • third-party AI tooling

  • Choosing the tech stack and building the engineering culture.

  • Leading vendor selection, cloud architecture, and MLOps setup.
  • Working closely with the founder to refine product vision, scope, and delivery timelines.
  • Hiring and guiding engineering talent as the company grows.

Your Background

You're the kind of person who has built early-stage products before — someone who thrives in the sweet spot between vision, architecture, and hands-on delivery.

We'd love to see experience with:

  • AI/ML / LLM development
    (OpenAI, Anthropic, custom RAG/agent frameworks)
  • Full-stack architecture
    for scalable B2C or B2B2C apps
  • Azure, AWS, or GCP
    (Azure preferred)
  • Knowledge graphs, embeddings, vector databases, retrieval pipelines
  • Data modelling, ETL pipelines, streaming or event-driven architectures
  • Mobile app frameworks (React Native / Flutter)
  • DevOps & MLOps (CI/CD, containerisation, observability)
  • Security, identity, and compliance frameworks (PII, SOC2, ISO)
  • Leading or mentoring a small engineering team

If you've previously been a
CTO, Lead Engineer, Principal Architect
, or a
Staff-level AI engineer
ready to step into a founding leadership role, this is ideal.

Who You Are

  • Entrepreneurial and excited by early-stage building
  • Strong product intuition and user-centric mindset
  • Pragmatic, fast, and execution-focused
  • Calm under pressure, collaborative, and values-driven
  • Passionate about using technology to improve people's lives
  • Comfortable operating in an environment with rapid learning cycles and evolving requirements

What's on Offer

  • Founding-team equity (negotiable)
  • Competitive remuneration after seed round
  • Chance to architect a platform with profound social impact
  • Full ownership of technical direction
  • A genuine partnership with the founder
  • Flexibility: Melbourne-based, hybrid, or fully remote across Australia
