PERIAN is building the future of Sky Computing—a platform that enables AI workloads to run seamlessly across global cloud and on-prem infrastructure. We are backed by early-stage investors and are rapidly scaling our team to shape the next generation of cloud computing.
PERIAN was founded by a team with deep expertise in cloud and AI infrastructure, bringing experience from AWS and SAP.
The Role
As Co-Founder & CTO, you won’t just lead our technical roadmap—you’ll help build the company itself. You’ll define the architecture, grow the engineering team, and work directly with the founding team to turn our vision into reality, secure, and innovative infrastructure that powers the future of AI workloads.
This is a high-impact leadership role in an early-stage, deep tech company—with plenty of ownership and the opportunity to shape the core of a transformative product. We’re committed to building a diverse team and encourage applicants of all backgrounds and identities to apply.
What We’re Looking For
1. 5+ years of experience in software engineering, cloud infrastructure, or distributed systems.
2. 3+ years of experience working with Python.
3. Proven leadership experience—ideally as a CTO, Head of Engineering, or Lead Architect in a startup or growth-stage company.
4. Strong understanding of modern cloud computing, container orchestration (Kubernetes), and scalable system design.
5. Solid experience working with AI/ML systems—you’re familiar with the lifecycle from model development and experimentation to deployment and monitoring.
6. Familiarity with MLOps practices, including managing training pipelines, inference infrastructure, and model performance.
7. Experience building backend systems, APIs, and infrastructure from scratch.
8. A builder mentality—you enjoy solving problems end-to-end, even when no clear path exists yet.
9. Comfort with writing code, reviewing architecture, and guiding engineering processes hands-on.
10. A long-term mindset and the ambition to shape something big.
11. Strong English communication skills, both written and verbal.
Tasks
1. Define and own the technical vision and product architecture of the PERIAN platform.
2. Build and scale a team of exceptional engineers.
3. Drive key technical decisions around infrastructure, orchestration, and AI workload optimization.
4. Work with the founding team to define the product roadmap and ensure technical alignment with business milestones.
5. Collaborate directly with customers and partners to ensure our platform solves real AI infrastructure problems.
6. Represent PERIAN at public forums, events and the wider tech ecosystem.
7. Contribute to fundraising, go-to-market planning, and strategic decision-making.
What We Offer
1. Founder-level equity with long-term upside.
2. Modest early salary with room to grow as the company scales and secures funding.
3. Hybrid work model—join us in the office 2-3 days a week for collaboration and team bonding.
4. Be part of an early-stage, high-growth startup where your work has a real impact.
5. Budget for learning, conferences, and professional growth.
6. Work on cutting-edge technology in AI, cloud, and distributed systems.
PERIAN is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences—regardless of gender, age, disability, ethnic background, or orientation.
