Overview
Job Description Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
Company: AutoArchitect AI
Founders: Ravi (CEO & CPO), Pavithra (Co-CEO)
Stage: Pre-seed (building MVP, no traction yet)
Equity: Up to 10% for the right technical co-founder (sweat + leadership)
Mission
AutoArchitect AI is rethinking how the world buildsturning a simple prompt into a construction-ready architectural design: 3D visualization, landscaping, interiors, AutoCAD files, and cost estimation. We need a CTO who can actually build this MVP, not just talk about it. This is not a manager role. This is a founder-builder role. Youll be the engineer who codes, prototypes, and scales the tech backbone that redefines architecture.
What Youll Do (Roles)
- Architect & own the end-to-end product stack: AI model pipeline, 3D rendering, backend, API integrations, and deployment.
- Build the first MVP that converts text prompts into: 3D building models; Interior + landscaping renderings; AutoCAD files; Cost estimation reports.
- Set up data pipelines (training datasets: floorplans, BIM, AutoCAD, 3D assets).
- Integrate APIs for rendering, generative AI (OpenAI, Stability, Unity/Unreal APIs), and CAD exports.
- Lead tech stack decisions (Python, Firebase, Three.js/Blender, AutoCAD APIs, AWS/GCP).
- Build & lead a world-class engineering team (ML, full stack, AR/VR).
- You are the magnet for talent. Ship fast. Fail fast. Iterate.
Responsibilities
- Build MVP alone first write the first 100,000 lines of code. No delegation. No excuses.
- End-to-end ownership: AI pipelines (generative design, 3D rendering), backend, frontend, integrations.
- APIs: Integrate with OpenAI (image, 3D), Autodesk/Revit/CAD APIs, Unity/Unreal/WebGL for visualization, cost-estimation APIs.
- Data: Source + clean architectural design datasets (floorplans, 3D models, BIM data, cost databases).
- Infrastructure: Stand up scalable backend (Firebase + FastAPI/Python), deploy on GCP/AWS.
- Security & performance: Build for speed. Latency kills adoption.
- Iterate fast: MVP in 60 days must be demo-ready for YC + VCs.
- Founder mentality: Sweat equity, zero ego, radical ownership.
Requirements (must-haves, not nice-to-haves)
- Full-stack engineer + AI/ML hands-on You ship, not just design.
- Deep knowledge of: Generative AI (LLMs, diffusion, 3D GANs/NeRFs)
- Python, TensorFlow/PyTorch, WebGL/Three.js/Unity APIs: Autodesk, CAD/BIM, OpenAI, Firebase
- Proven hacker: Show me side-projects / prototypes, not degrees.
- Speed > polish: Build the car while driving it.
- Startup DNA you thrive in chaos, 80-100 hour weeks dont scare you.
- You are okay with sweat equity now, cash later.
What You Bring (Qualifications)
- Deep AI/ML expertise computer vision, generative AI (Stable Diffusion, NeRFs, LLMs).
- 3D graphics / gaming / AR-VR background Unity, Unreal, Blender, Three.js.
- CAD/BIM exposure AutoCAD API, Revit, Rhino, or Grasshopper.
- Full-stack chops Python, Firebase/AWS/GCP, REST/GraphQL, WebGL.
- Startup DNA Youve built products end-to-end. You thrive in chaos. Execution > theory.
- We care more about what youve built than your degrees. Bonus: Experience with architecture, civil engineering, or construction tech.
Bonus Superpowers
- Experience in architectural tech (BIM, Revit, Rhino, CAD workflows).
- Passion for design + engineering.
- Background in AR/VR or gaming engines for visualization.
Timeline
- MVP in 610 weeks (yes, non-negotiable).
- First real users & pilots by Month 34.
- Pre-Seed fundraising by Month 4.
Whats in It for You
- Co-founder title. Up to 5% equity (performance-based).
- No salary until fundraising (skin in the game).
- Build a $1B+ company at the intersection of AI x Architecture x Construction.
Why Join?
Because this isnt a job. This is a moonshot. Were not here to build another SaaS. Were here to automate architecture itselfthe single biggest bottleneck in how cities, homes, and infrastructure are created. If this resonates: stop reading, start building.
