We're looking for a Fractional CTO & INVESTOR to join Nova at the ground floor. But before I get to the role let me tell you what we're building. Every founder, PM, and engineering leader I've spoken to has felt this: A project was already broken before anyone knew it. A team was already frustrated before anyone noticed. Communication had already failed before the deadline was missed. Nova is building AIRA an AI layer that sits inside Slack, Google work speace and Teams and detects where team communication is breaking down, before it becomes a delivery failure or a people problem. Not a dashboard. Not a bot. An invisible intelligence layer that surfaces the right signal at the right time. Where we are today: Working prototype live and being tested 2 pilot clients in active use 1 potential enterprise client in active conversations Pre-Seed round open closing in 30 days Series A targeted within 6 months THE ROLE Title: Fractional CTO / Technical Advisor Commitment: 510 hours per month Compensation: 0.51% equity (vesting over 18 months) Stage: Pre-Seed | AI & SaaS This will require you to invest a minimum of 25L in Nova via a convertible note as part of this role If no, please skip What you'll actually do: Shape the technical architecture and scalability roadmap Help us make the right early engineering decisions Advise on hiring our first full-time engineering team Be a sounding board as we move toward Series A Open doors intros to enterprise clients, technical validators, investors WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR Senior engineering leaders, VPs or CTOs with 10+ years of experience Someone who has built or scaled SaaS products Deep understanding of AI/ML integration in real products Has felt the pain of communication breakdowns in engineering teams firsthand Wants to be close to an early-stage product not just consult from a distance This is not a full-time role.
