Co-Founder

About the Role

Prythos is seeking a Technical Co-Founder / CTO to build the company's AI-native revenue infrastructure for export businesses, starting with the Prythos Export Revenue Agent. This is a founder-level role at the MVP stage.

Key Responsibilities

The CTO will own and shape:

• Product Development
• AI
• Architecture
• Technical Strategy

Responsibilities include working directly with the founder, customers, and the product.

What We're Building

The Prythos Export Revenue Agent aims to transform the export sales process into an intelligent, automated revenue system. It will:

• Understand RFQs from various channels (emails, PDFs, spreadsheets).
• Extract key information such as products, quantities, specifications, destinations, timelines, and requirements.
• Qualify buyers and opportunities based on business context and historical data.
• Generate intelligent quotations using product, pricing, and customer information.
• Track conversations and determine the current stage of an opportunity.
• Determine when and how to follow up.
• Learn from won, lost, delayed, and negotiated opportunities.
• Continuously build intelligence around conversion factors.

This is described as an intelligence layer understanding the commercial workflow and economics of export businesses, not a CRM with an AI chatbot.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• A strong, hands-on software engineer.
• Obsessed with technology and genuinely loves building products.
• Comfortable with backend systems, APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure.
• Excited about AI, LLMs, agents, workflow automation, fine-tuning models, RAG, data, and intelligent systems.
• Strong at turning ambiguous problems into reliable solutions.
• Product-minded and willing to talk directly to customers.
• Ideally familiar with export / international trade / B2B workflows.
• Comfortable building from 0 → 1 (as the company is at MVP stage).
• Willing to make difficult technical decisions and own the consequences.
• The exact tech stack matters less than engineering depth and ability to learn fast.
• Requires patience and resilience to tackle messy, real-world problems and overcome challenges like AI failures, incomplete data, integration breaks, and incorrect assumptions.
• Willing to spend months understanding a hard problem to build the right solution.
• Thinks long-term and wants to build something substantial, defensible, and technically exceptional.

What You Get

This is an equity-based co-founder opportunity. You will have the opportunity to:

• Build the core technology from scratch.
• Define the architecture and engineering culture.
• Shape the product and AI strategy.
• Build proprietary data and intelligence systems.
• Eventually build and lead the engineering organization.
• Own a meaningful part of the company.
• Help shape Prythos from its earliest stage.
