Purpose:Labs Co-Founder - Chief Technical Officer (CTO)
Company Description: We are building Purpose:Labs – the world's first proactive Life & Career Navigation Engine.
Think: “Google Maps” for life and career journeys, world models + individual state models, proactive AI agents, systems that help people stay fulfilled, skilled, and competitive in a fast‑changing world.
This is not a job – it is a co‑founder position. If you want comfort, stability, or a clean 9‑to‑5, this is not for you. If you want to build something you’ll still care about in 10 years and help your kids navigate this chaotic world towards fulfillment – keep reading.
Problems We Care About
