FutureSight • Seattle, WA

10d • Remote

About The Position

FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CTO to lead the technical foundation of a new AI ROI Measurement venture. This is a co-founder partnership with founder-level equity and authority, not a salaried executive role. The venture is building a vendor-neutral measurement and governance platform that captures AI activity through a browser extension and endpoint agent, benchmarks utilization, proficiency, and business impact through a proprietary U×P×V framework, and provides an auditable view of value creation. The platform aims to be the 'Nielsen for enterprise AI' with an autonomous FinOps layer. The customer thesis is validated, design partners are engaged, and market work is complete. The Co-Founder & CTO will partner closely with FutureSight to define direction and bring on a CEO co-founder.

• Prior founder, founding engineer, or early-stage technical leadership experience.
• Shipped data-intensive, multi-tenant SaaS into enterprise production, with buyers including CIOs, CFOs, and CISOs.
• Full-stack confidence across browser extensions and endpoint agents, high-throughput event ingestion, real-time analytics, applied LLMs, and secure multi-tenant SaaS (SOC 2, tenant isolation, audit logging, data residency).
• Well-formed convictions about telemetry design and privacy-preserving instrumentation, developed through production experience.
• Clear-eyed understanding of the risks and demands of co-founding a venture-backed company, with the ability to operate as a principal.

• Applied LLM evaluation experience.
• Familiarity with EU AI Act, ISO 42001, and NIST AI RMF.

Responsibilities

• Set the technical direction of the venture and lead its execution.
• Write the first lines of production code and set the architecture, data model, engineering culture, and security posture, including the browser extension, endpoint agent, 15-minute refresh pipeline, and zero-content-retention design.
• Ship the discovery layer with design partners, deliver the U×P×V framework with GitHub/Jira correlation, release GA v1 with governance controls aligned to EU AI Act, ISO 42001, and NIST AI RMF, and ship the governed AI access hub and a vertical specialization within 18 months.
• Represent the company in front of CIOs, Chief AI Officers, CFOs, security teams, and investors, with a target of ten paying enterprise customers and $1M ARR within 18 months.
• Lead SOC 2 Type II readiness and ensure the platform meets the audit, tenant isolation, and data residency demands of enterprise procurement.
• Recruit and lead the founding engineering and applied AI team, and establish the cultural foundation of the company.
