Chief Technology Officer (CTO) – AI Consumer & SaaS Division (Remote- Equity- High Upside Pay)

December 31, 2025

Other Jobs To Apply

American AI & Automation (AAIA) has built high-performing divisions in enterprise, government, and education — and now we’re launching our consumer/SaaS arm. This isn’t a test run. It’s a focused expansion with serious capital and serious expectations.

We are hiring a world-class CTO to lead this division’s technical vision and execution.

No passengers. No “pretty good” engineers. We’re looking for a top-tier builder, fluent in LLMs, infrastructure, and rapid product development — someone who has shipped complex, AI-powered products that actually scale.

This is a rare opportunity to own the tech stack from day one, backed by a proven AI company with traction across multiple sectors.

What You’ll Do:

Own the entire technical function of the consumer/SaaS division — no layers, no confusion
Build and ship AI products from zero to market — quickly, cleanly, and securely
Architect scalable systems that balance performance, flexibility, and speed
Work directly with LLMs, embeddings, vector stores, fine-tuning, and prompt pipelines
Set the standards for quality, security, and documentation — no legacy code, no bloat
Recruit, lead, and manage an elite engineering team as the division grows

Must-Have:

Proven history of shipping consumer-facing AI products (LLMs or adjacent tech)
Experience as founding or lead engineer at a startup — not just a cog in a large org
Deep knowledge of Python, JS/TS, cloud infrastructure, and modern AI frameworks
Obsession with clean architecture, speed, and user experience
Ability to move between high-level strategy and low-level implementation seamlessly
Comfort operating without hand-holding or excessive planning cycles
Bonus: experience building modular AI infrastructure across multiple product lines

Compensation:

Performance-based hourly: $100–$200/hr, based on delivery and outcomes
Equity up to 25–40% depending on role structure and contribution
Path to hybrid comp model: base + equity + rev share
No income ceiling — your value scales with your results

What You Get:

A real seat at the table — you’ll shape the direction, not just the tech
The backing of a company with existing clients, revenue, and capital
Total control over how we build, who we hire, and what we ship
Full remote flexibility (US preferred), async-friendly team
Clean slate to build best-in-class AI products without compromise

If you’re not in the top 1% of builders, this isn’t your role.

If you are — and you’re ready to prove it — send something real. Code, product, stack breakdown, demo. We’re listening.

Job Types: Full-time, Contract

Pay: $100.00 - $400.00 per hour
