CTO / Technical Co-Founder (LLM-based AI Mental Health Platform) at Backsie Inc

We’re seeking a highly skilled CTO / Technical Co-Founder with deep expertise in LLM-based AI, multi-agent architectures, and human-AI interaction. You’ll own the technology vision and guide Backsie’s evolution from MVP to scalable platform as we prepare for venture financing in Q1 2026.

This is not a hands-off position — you’ll conduct a full technical audit, design the future architecture, expand the engineering team, and ensure that all AI systems are robust, low-latency, and emotionally intelligent. You’ll collaborate closely with the CEO (based in New York) and a distributed team across time zones.

• Lead overall AI and software architecture, ensuring scalability, resilience, and data integrity

• Oversee development of LLM orchestration and guardrail agents for emotionally nuanced conversations

• Build and manage the engineering team, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps infrastructure

• Develop RAG systems, custom datasets, and regression testing frameworks

• Collaborate with product and research to align emotional intelligence with logical structure

• Represent the technical vision to investors and partners
