About the Role

As the AI Technical Lead at Martell Ventures, you'll be the engine behind our product, translating real-world recruiting problems into lightning-fast, scalable AI solutions.

You'll work side-by-side with a commercially proven co-founder under Martell Ventures' battle-tested venture studio model, owning everything from architecture to iteration velocity. This role is perfect for a pragmatic, execution-led builder ready to ship with speed, autonomy, and clarity, without the fundraising distraction.

What You'll Do

Product Velocity

  • Translate validated user problems into fast, functional MVPs
  • Own the full stack: from AI integrations to modular codebases
  • Build and ship rapidly without over-engineering
  • Manage the product roadmap in tight sync with the CEO
  • Drive clean UX, performance, and iteration speed

AI-Enabled Innovation

  • Leverage LLMs, automation, and AI-native tooling to 10x recruiting workflows
  • Keep Hero lean, fast, and tech-forward, no bloated SaaS here
  • Build smart growth loops and feedback mechanisms into the product

Technical Leadership

  • Own code quality, technical hiring, and engineering standards from day one
  • Set a high bar for performance, security, and scalability
  • Contribute directly as a solo builder while preparing for scale
  • Operate as the internal compass for all things tech
What You Bring

Required Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience building and scaling SaaS products or AI tools
  • Strong experience with AI/LLMs, automation, and modern full-stack frameworks
  • Experience shipping products end-to-end in a startup or lean environment
  • Deep knowledge of low-code tools, APIs, and third-party integrations
  • Ability to work solo in the early stages, scrappy, focused, and autonomous
  • High standards for code quality, UX, and engineering speed

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in recruiting tech, marketplaces, or HR platforms
  • Prior role as founding engineer, lead developer, or technical co-founder
  • Familiarity with performance optimization, DevOps, and rapid release cycles
  • Product intuition backed by user empathy and feedback loops
