Job description

Are you someone who can turn ideas into intelligent systems, strategy into scalable tech, and early momentum into a product-led growth engine? Do you thrive in high-trust, high-ownership environments and want to help build the technology foundation of one of the fastest-scaling AI-powered platforms for tech hiring?

We’re hiring a Chief Technology Officer (Co-Founder) to lead and scale the architecture, engineering, and AI / automation systems at SkillsCapital — a global tech talent platform powered by AI and built for the enterprise ecosystem. You’ll work closely with the founding team to own everything from platform architecture and core infrastructure to LLM-driven intelligence systems, automation pipelines, and delivery scalability — and help us scale from 20 → 100.

🎯 Experience is no bar for this role, but performance is. We’re looking for a high-performing individual with strong technical exposure in building B2B platforms, Enterprise Tech Solutions, AI integrations, and scalable cloud infrastructure — ideally within enterprise software, HRTech, talent platforms, or product-led B2B domains. What matters most is your ability to build, take full ownership of technology, operate with clarity and accountability, and consistently deliver scalable, productized systems in a fast-moving environment.

Even if you’re someone with limited experience (including freshers) but have the motivation, clarity, and drive to perform in this role — feel free to apply. We care more about what you can do than how many years you've done it.

💡 About SkillsCapital

SkillsCapital is an AI-powered global platform helping clients hire fully vetted, on-demand tech talent and teams across enterprise technologies like SAP, Salesforce, Microsoft, Oracle, AI / ML, Cloud, and more.

In our first year, we’ve :

  • Achieved strong product-market fit and global client traction
  • Delivered talent across the U.S., U.K., Europe, and the Middle East
  • Built a real platform : AI-Powered Talent Cloud, Vetting Engine, Candidate & Client Portals
  • Bootstrapped our way to profitability — zero external funding
  • Are now on track to cross a $2M+ run rate by this quarter, with momentum to scale fast
  • Our leadership team includes former leaders from IBM, Deloitte, Accenture, Trilogy, PwC, ESW Capital, and alumni of Wharton, IIT Delhi, BITS Pilani, IIIT Hyderabad, and University of Pennsylvania.

🎯 What You’ll Own

  • Architect and lead development of our core platform, including :
  • Talent Cloud and Blockchain Engine
  • Automated Vetting Engine
  • Custom Candidate & Client Portals
  • Integration APIs and internal tools
  • Build scalable, modular systems for automation, matching, parsing, and scoring
  • Lead the AI and LLM integration across workflows like consultant vetting and talent-intelligence matching
  • Oversee cloud infrastructure, security, performance, and scalability
  • Define the tech roadmap, manage internal and external engineering teams, and collaborate with product, sourcing, and delivery
  • Build engineering processes that support shipping fast, iterating intelligently, and scaling with quality
  • ✅ Who Should Apply

  • You have experience in building and scaling SaaS platforms or tech products
  • You have worked in or are passionate about :
  • Applied AI / LLMs / automation
  • Product-led architecture
  • Enterprise tech ecosystems
  • Tech-enabled talent platforms
  • Building Highly scalable and highly performance systems
  • You are highly structured, hands-on, and thrive in a builder-led environment
  • You’re comfortable taking technical ownership of a real platform
  • You’re equally strong at designing elegant systems and leading technical teams
  • You want to co-build a global platform, not just manage tech delivery
  • 💰 Compensation

    This is a co-founder role, and compensation will be structured accordingly

  • You’ll receive significant equity, with long-term upside tied to scale and success
  • Minimal base salary to begin with, reflecting our early-stage but fast-scaling model
  • Compensation will grow meaningfully based on :
  • Performance and product milestones
  • Business growth and platform scalability
  • Your leadership in building a high-performing tech stack
  • Top performers can expect excellent overall compensation through our outcome-driven structure
  • ⚠️ This is not the right role for someone seeking a high initial salary without ownership or results

    📩 To Apply

    Send your resume to careers@skillscapital.io

    Please include :

  • A short note on why this role excites you
  • Links to relevant work or systems you’ve built
  • Confirmation that you’ve read and understood the co-founder-level compensation structure
  • We will only consider candidates who send their resume to the above email address, along with a short note and clear confirmation that they’ve understood the role, expectations and compensation structure.
