About this role

ABOUT ORPEX

The next generation of service companies won't scale through headcount. They'll be built by tiny teams orchestrating AI workforces with 1000x the output. Orpex is building the infrastructure they run on: agentic workforce, company brain, human trust layer, one cockpit to run the business.

We just raised an oversubscribed 2.5M angel round in 7 days and are moving at rapid speed.

EX-FOUNDER / EX-CTO

You've built a company before. Now build the platform that empowers the next generation of founders.

We don't have a fixed scope for this role. We build it around what you're best at. Engineering, product, or running the operating side of the company. If you can tell us what you'd own in your first 90 days, we can probably make it real. For the right technical person, this is the technical leadership seat at Orpex.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

One of these should be true

You founded a venture-backed or bootstrapped company, whether or not it worked out.

You were CTO or first technical hire at a startup before

You shipped the product a team still credits you for.

You ran a service business and know from the inside exactly what Orpex replaces.

WE OFFER

Compensation and equity built around you. Sized for someone building the company, not joining it. Real numbers on the first call.

San Francisco or Europe. Relocation and visa sponsorship covered.

Pace and purpose. Small team, high standards, high trust, no politics.

What happens next

Skip the application pile. I get you in front of the people who decide.

Confirm the fit

A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.

I pitch you to the company

I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.

A meeting lands on your calendar

When the company wants to meet, I get the call on your calendar. You just show up.

Culture & values

Glass Company: work out loud, never lie about what is done

Verified-done, not marked-done. Every claim is checkable against reality

In person, in one room, deliberately

Small and cracked over big and busy

Know someone who'd be great for this?
