Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
Location: Remote/Hybrid, CA (U.S.-Based Preferred)
Compensation: Equity-Only (Until Funding Secured)
About ChannelCoreWe’re building the first AI-powered business suite that puts the digital entrepreneur in control. Not brands, not platforms, but the people actually driving the digital economy. No more lowball offers, late payments, or one-off deals that go nowhere. From pitching smarter and securing better brand deals to scaling their business sustainably, our tools give creators the power to build a profitable, long-term career on their own terms.
We’ve proven there’s real market demand, and now it’s time to build. We’ve launched a manual Google Sheet MVP of our product and have generated 150+ beta waitlist users and a pipeline of 20,000 leads just within one week. Our founding team is made up of former marketing executives, operators, and creators who have lived these challenges firsthand. We know what needs to be built, and we’re looking for a technical leader who is ready to take ownership, turn this vision into reality, and help scale a company from the ground up.
Our funding journey so far: We have had two positive VC meetings within the last month and are actively positioning for pre-seed/seed funding.
Our Mission:
We’re on a mission to empower 2M+ digital entrepreneurs to build sustainable, revenue-driven businesses. The future of work is creator-led, and we’re providing the infrastructure to help them take control of their growth.
Our Vision:
To build the world’s most powerful creator business platform.
Who We’re Looking For
We need a CTO who is ready to build from the ground up and thrives in the trenches. Someone who can architect, build, and scale a product from scratch while also thinking long-term about how to grow and lead a team. This role is for someone who doesn’t just want to write code but wants to own the entire technical side of the business and play a key role in shaping its future.
This role is about rolling up your sleeves, building fast, iterating based on real user feedback, and ensuring that what we create is scalable, efficient, and solves real problems.
This is an equity-only role until funding is secured, but the opportunity is massive. You’ll have a founding seat at the table in shaping the next-gen platform that will redefine how digital entrepreneurs manage and monetize their businesses.
If you're ready to be a founding engineer and architect of a company that will redefine how creators run their businesses, we want to talk.

Initial Build & Technical Strategy (First 6-12 Months)
- Architect & build the MVP software platform – transition from Google Sheets to a fully automated SaaS solution
- Develop AI-driven tools
- Own the entire tech stack & infrastructure – security, scalability, and backend optimization
- Work directly with the founder to shape the product roadmap, fundraising strategy, and go-to-market plan
Scaling the Product & Building the Tech Team (Post-Funding)

- Optimize and scale AI models for pricing intelligence and contract negotiation
- Integrate payment solutions for instant payouts & revenue-sharing models
- Enhance platform automation, improving creator-brand deal execution and contract management

You Should Be:- A hands-on builder – comfortable coding, architecting, and scaling from scratch
- Passionate about the creator economy, fintech, or SaaS platforms
- Experienced in AI, machine learning, or data-driven software development
- Familiar with payment infrastructure, smart contracts, or marketplace models
- Hungry for high-impact ownership and early-stage startup challenges
- Have startup experience – You’ve built, scaled, or led engineering at an early-stage startup
- Have a strong product mindset – You can balance speed, usability, and scalability
- Want high-impact ownership – You’re not just an engineer; you want to build a category-defining company
Why Join?- Early Equity in a High-Growth Startup – You’ll be a founding team member
- Real Traction & Market Demand – We have a ready-to-pay user base
- VC Interest Already Secured – This is not a “hope & pray” startup; we’re actively fundraising
- Massive Market Opportunity – Creators are shaping the digital economy, but they lack real business tools. We’re building the solution.
