CTO wanted to handle the technical vision of the startup (Mitgründer-Position)

I am building a next-generation AI company focused on creating intelligent systems that learn, adapt, and evolve in a way closer to how the human brain processes, decides, and improves over time. This is not about scaling existing models — this is about redefining how intelligence itself is engineered.

I am looking for a Founding CTO who is deeply driven by first principles, neuroscience-inspired thinking, and building fundamental systems from the ground up. This is a true co-founder role, not an employee position.

• Design and architect core intelligence systems inspired by learning, memory, perception, and decision-making in the human brain
• Lead deep technical research and translate it into real, working systems
• Build the foundational architecture for adaptive, continuously learning intelligence
• Own all major technical decisions, system design, and long-term roadmap
• Build and lead the founding technical team
• Work side-by-side with the founder on core IP, strategy, and product direction

• Strong foundation in AI/ML, computational neuroscience, cognitive science, systems engineering, or applied mathematics
• Deep understanding of learning dynamics, memory systems, optimization, and adaptive behavior
• Experience building complex systems from scratch (zero to one)
• Comfort with research uncertainty and unexplored technical territory
• Ability to think in biological inspiration + engineering execution
• High ownership mindset with long-term startup commitment

• First-principles thinker
• Obsessed with how intelligence actually works
• Comfortable reinventing assumptions
• Long-term builder, not a short-term optimizer
• Emotionally resilient, technically rigorous

• Founding equity with meaningful ownership
• Full technical authority and architectural control
• Direct ownership of core intellectual property
• Opportunity to build category-defining intelligence technology
• Freedom to invent, not just iterate

• Early research & system design
• Equity-first partnership
• Remote-first, high-ownership culture
• Global, long-term vision
