## About the Role

* Shipped LLM-powered and voice systems into production environments where incorrect outputs carried real consequences
 * Full-stack confidence across applied LLMs, real-time voice and conversational AI, telephony, human-in-the-loop workflows, observability, and secure multi-tenant SaaS
 * Well-formed convictions about reliability engineering, edge-case management, and the trade-offs between AI quality and cost-per-call
 * Experience building managed and service-heavy platforms, with the discipline to scale delivery without scaling engineering headcount
 * Prepared to operate as a principal - including saying "this won't scale" or "this isn't ready" when the integrity of the product requires it
 * A hands-on builder - you still write code and ship, and you're happiest close to the product

Great to Have:

 * Finance, accounting, or FinOps background - you understand AR, DSO, aging, disputes, and how finance teams actually work
 * Based in Los Angeles or the San Francisco Bay Area (or ready to be)
 * Pragmatic and creative - a solution finder who gets to "working" fast and iterates from there
 * Co-operative, strategic, and hands-on in equal measure
 * Capable and willing to help in finding and closing early customer partnerships
 * An active social media presence you can put to work for founder-led distribution

## Description

This is a co-founder role, not a CTO hire. In return for that level of commitment, you receive founder-level equity, founder-level authority with co-decision rights on product, technology, hiring, fundraising, and strategy, and a genuine partnership with the CEO on every material decision., As Co-Founder & CTO, you will take over the production code and continue building the product (the first lines of production code), set the technical direction, and lead execution end-to-end.

 * Architecture & Reliability - Harden the voice and workflow systems for in-production reliability. Establish core architecture, observability, and audit-trail standards for a product that speaks to customers' debtors on their behalf.
 * Delivery Layer - Build the internal infrastructure that lets the team configure, monitor, and optimize agent performance without scaling engineering headcount. Mature the workflow engine so every call, intent classification, and next-action flows through reliably.
 * Integrations & Distribution - Own the accounting and ERP integration layer (QuickBooks, Xero, and beyond) that turns Argentl from a CSV upload into an embedded part of the finance stack - the primary distribution unlock.
 * Unit Economics - Own the trade-offs between AI quality and cost-per-call, and lock in unit economics within a productized monthly pricing model.
 * Customer & Market - Represent the company in front of finance leaders, partners, and investors as the technical voice of the venture.
 * Roadmap - Convert pilots into paying customers, expand the AI staff beyond collections, and begin a path toward custom and self-hosted models where data-privacy and financial-compliance requirements demand it.
 * Team - Recruit and lead the founding engineering team, and establish the cultural foundation of the company
