CTO Co-Founder | Remote | Equity linked | Part-Time

One of Blitz Divisions is an applied-AI Venture Studio converting domain inefficiencies into deployable IP-protected solutions. Our portfolio spans 3 pillars - Skilling, Consulting & Patent-driven products.

The 3 Pillars are unified under a single philosophy : AI Simplified. Zero Hype.

The Role

We are seeking a CTO Co-founder to lead the Technology & IP Layer across Blitz's emerging Product portfolio, from SaaS automation to skilling and training. We are looking for a Builder-Founder mindset - someone who can start hands-on as a Senior Engineer and evolve into the CTO-Cofounder of Blitz Patent-driven AI portfolio. This is not a Pure developer job, it is a build to own Role.

You will architect systems that are technically sound, patent-ready, and commercially deployable, collaborating closely with the Founder (Product & GTM) to take ideas from whiteboard to working product and from POC to Real-world Enterprise Production Scale. If you have ever thought, "I want to build something unique & remarkable, build it right, and own part of it", let us talk!

What will you own

• End-to-end architecture, engineering, and technical due diligence for all patent-backed products
• Supervision of prototype builds (internal or partner teams) across AI, data, and Cloud stacks.
• Creation of Shared tech frameworks, documentation, and DevOps hygiene across the Blitz portfolio.
• Liaison with Patent attorneys for technical drafting and claims clarity.
• Contribution to Blitz's thought leadership and investor communication on tech differentiation; representation in investor & client discussions

Engagement Model

Flexible, Remote, Approximately 10 hours per week (Min. 8h) to start with.

No fixed remuneration.

Equity, Patent Co-inventorship, & Brand Visibility within the Blitz ecosystem.

Monthly Review to check on Alignment, Engagement & Focus

Structure

Equity Pool - Up to 2% - milestone linked (Prototype to Patent to MVP to funding)

Since the Value creation in this Entity is purely driven by Acceptance of our Patent Applications and Award of Full Patents, anyone wanting a full-time CXO transition has to come in with a 5-10 year mindset at the least.

You can do this with your current Profession; however, you must be eligible to engage in Independent IP creation outside your current Role / Assignment. (No Conflict of Interest with your current organization), whether it is your own or your employer's.

While this is a Part-time Opportunity, if any 1-2 of our Patents becomes Traction-Proof, we have an Opportunity to either sell it to a Founder / Company or develop ourselves as a Product Company.

Hence, at that point, you could be either one of the early Equity-holding CXOs in such a Spin-Off Subsidiary or stand to cash out your Equity vested at the time of Sale.

Equity-linked (Upto 2% vesting over milestones) (Equity will be granted after the 1st Patent is filed - in a way, the 1st Patent is the Litmus test) (If either side finds a Fitment Mismatch during this Process, we can revisit the Co-Founder Agreement / arrangement with 2 weeks notice from either side.

Since this role has no Remuneration, you must expect to invest Focused time in the early months (80-100 hours) to establish a Technical Foundation in a very exciting & revolutionary space before the Value can start manifesting.

Option to transition to a full-time CXO Role post-funding or Product Scale
