Our goal is to build a more transparent and equitable social infrastructure — one that restores authenticity, accountability, and fairness to how online engagement is valued.

We’re now forming a small, world-class technical team to design and prototype our initial platform — technology that connects social behaviour, AI, and trust into a single economic system.

The Role

full-stack AI engineer

You’ll design, prototype, and implement the platform’s core architecture, integrating AI and data-integrity layers that ensure real accountability in digital interactions.

This is a founder-level opportunity for someone who wants to work at the frontier of AI, social technology, and ethical design.

Responsibilities

Develop data pipelines and APIs that enable ethical, transparent, and verifiable interactions between users and content.

Prototype creator and brand tools that demonstrate the new engagement model.

Collaborate directly with the founder on technical roadmap, product architecture, and funding milestones.

Recruit and mentor engineers as the technical team scales.

Ideal Background

You might currently be:

A software engineer or data scientist working in AI, media, or social platforms.

A PhD or postgraduate researcher in computer science, ML, or human-computer interaction.

A developer passionate about building systems that improve online trust and fairness.

Preferred Stack (flexible):

Python / Node.js \| React / Next.js \| AWS or GCP \| REST / GraphQL \| ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain, etc.) \| Blockchain familiarity a plus.

Traits:

Systems thinker who can connect technical design with ethical impact.

Entrepreneurial, resourceful, and comfortable in ambiguity.

Mission-driven with appetite for ownership and risk.

What You’ll Gain

Early technical ownership of a company building the next layer of the social internet.

Real equity and long-term upside.

Freedom to shape architecture from the ground up.

The chance to build technology that restores authenticity and trust to the digital economy.
