CTO wanted for KI-Startup im Investment-/Finanzumfeld

You take full technical responsibility for an existing, live AI pipeline and make it robust, reliable and scalable. We need a senior, hands-on builder-architect who works lean and agentic — not a manager who needs a team first.
Production experience with LLM/agentic systems: multi-stage orchestration (research → synthesis → structured output), RAG, validated outputs
Can take over and evolve an existing system, not just build greenfield
Depth in eval, reliability & trust: source-binding, validation gates, confidence calibration, reproducibility
Full-stack enough to start solo: Python, TypeScript/Next.js, infra (Docker/Cloud, Postgres/pgvector)
Drawn to high-stakes, audit-grade AI where correctness beats demo polish
Founded or led production systems (founding/lead engineer), senior track record

You have strengths in...

• numbers, data and logic
• pushing and getting things done
• structuring and strategic thinking

You already have...

• founded a company
• worked as fulltime employee
• lead fulltime employees

Full technical ownership of our existing AI pipeline — run, harden and evolve it, from automated research to a finished, source-bound report (product exists; you make the tech robust and scalable)
Bring outputs to top reliability: no hallucination — every claim bound to a primary source, or it doesn't appear
Extend the technical moat: AI "experts" that sharpen with every run + an audit-grade trust layer
Synthesize internal & external data across multiple dimensions
Own technical vision & architecture as co-founder; build a lean, senior team later

A real co-founder role (meaningful equity, vesting) with full ownership of the technical architecture
No blank sheet: live product + first pilot customers — real traction to build on
Founder & advisor bench with strong domain pedigree
A market with measurable pain — early but validated demand
Senior-only, agentic, software-margin culture; Munich, remote-friendly
