LexStaffing is developing a managed AI staffing platform tailored for solo practitioners and small law firms. The core product, Ava, serves as a virtual front desk, answering calls, collecting structured intake information, scheduling consultations, and handling outbound callbacks around the clock. Ava is more than a software tool: the team actively configures, trains, monitors, and improves her, allowing lawyers to focus on their cases instead of administrative tasks. The company operates under a Role-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, where clients value outcomes such as time saved, calls handled, and consultations booked. LexStaffing has validated both the problem and its solution, is running live pilots, and is now focused on technical reliability, delivery economics, and scaling the product in production. Role overview This is a co-founder CTO position for LexStaffing’s AI staffing platform. The role requires a long-term commitment, prioritizing equity growth and organizational success over immediate compensation. The CTO will play a central part in shaping both the technical direction and the company’s future. What you will do Design and maintain Ava’s voice and workflow systems with an emphasis on uptime and low latency. Reliability takes priority over surface-level features. Build internal systems that enable the team to configure, monitor, and improve AI performance, supporting scale without expanding engineering headcount. Balance AI quality and cost-per-call to ensure the platform remains profitable under a $499/month pricing model. Make key decisions about scalability and product readiness, always protecting product integrity and user trust. Take full responsibility for the technical lifecycle, from initial code to live pilot outcomes, aiming to deliver a tool lawyers depend on daily. Collaborate with the Founder to shape the product roadmap, focusing on features that reduce lawyers’ operational burden and cutting those that threaten delivery or economics. Build and lead a small, high-impact engineering team, setting standards for code quality, logging, and audit trails to ensure every AI outcome is transparent and reviewable. Represent LexStaffing’s technical vision and innovations to stakeholders and potential clients. Location This role is remote, with a connection to San Francisco, California, United States.

We pride ourselves on being a company of doers. We foster a culture where leaders are hands-on, teams operate collaboratively, and every voice matters.

FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead the launch of an AI-driven content intelligence and publishing platform. This remote role is based out of San Francisco, California. Role Overview Content remains a critical distribution channel for entrepreneurs, operators, and businesses. Yet, the process of producing high-quality, insight-rich content is often inefficient. Professionals spend hours each week sorting through scattered data sources, feeds, newsletters, podcasts, and articles, without a streamlined way to turn information into actionable insights and publishable material. This gap leads to lost insights, inconsistent publishing, and missed opportunities to grow audiences. FutureSight’s mission is to build an AI-first content intelligence engine. The platform will ingest high-value content, extract and organize insights by theme, and generate drafts tailored to individual or brand voices. The goal: move from raw input to structured insight to ready-to-publish output, all in one workflow. The venture already has an initial product, early users, and direct feedback channels to speed up iteration and market entry. The Co-Founder & CEO will help define a new category at the intersection of creator tools, AI, and knowledge workflows, building the go-to system for content creation for individuals and teams. What You Will Do Acquire customers by working first with internal design partners, then expanding to external users such as creators, teams, and agencies to validate retention and willingness to pay. Develop the product in partnership with FutureSight’s product and engineering team to launch the first version. Secure funding by leading the seed round alongside the initial investment. Build your team by recruiting founding members and shaping the company’s culture from the ground up.

This inefficiency results in margin erosion, prolonged cycle times, and increased operational burdens as workflows continue to grow.We are committed to building an AI-first orchestration layer that seamlessly connects customers, fulfillment networks, and finance systems. Our platform will enforce policies at intake, capture evidence at the source, identify the optimal return pathways, and monitor outcomes until financial closure—without disrupting existing ERPs, WMSs, or commerce platforms.This role presents a unique opportunity to shape infrastructure within a $700 billion+ global market, influencing how contemporary organizations manage costs, risks, and recovered value post-sale.As the Founding CEO, you will:Attract and secure customers—lead pilot initiatives, refine pricing strategies, and validate customer retention and expansion.Oversee product development—collaborate with FutureSight’s product and engineering teams to launch Version 1.Drive capital acquisition—lead the seed funding round with our initial investment efforts.Assemble your team—recruit your founding members and establish a strong cultural foundation.
