VP R&D & Co-Founder | Hands-on (Stealth AI Startup)

Location: Tel Aviv District (Hybrid)

Type: Full-time / Co-Founder

Stage: Pre-funded (Closing Seed Round)

The Opportunity

We are a stealth-mode startup developing a platform to provide advanced AI capabilities and autonomous agents for businesses. We are currently finalizing our seed funding round and are seeking a brilliant technical partner to join as VP of R&D and Co-Founder.

You will be partnering with a serial entrepreneur with over 20 years of leadership in the Israeli tech ecosystem. Our founder is an ex-8200 veteran, holder of 10+ patents, and has a proven track record of raising millions in VC funding and generating millions in global sales. This is a rare chance to build a company from the ground up alongside a seasoned, successful leader.

The Role: Strategic Leadership + Hands-on Execution

As the first technical hire and Co-Founder, you won't just be managing—you will be building. This is a hands-on, Full Stack position where you will architect the system and code the initial versions of our AI-driven platform.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead AI Agent Development: Architect and implement autonomous AI agents and LLM-based workflows tailored for business efficiency.
• Full Stack Development: Build the end-to-end MVP, from robust backend infrastructure to a seamless frontend experience.
• Technical Strategy: Define the company’s tech stack, research roadmap, and long-term architectural vision.
• Product Ownership: Work directly with the founder to translate business needs into technical specifications.
• Scale the Team: Post-funding, you will lead the recruitment and management of an elite engineering team.

Qualifications

• Hands-on Full Stack Mastery: Expert-level coding skills in modern stacks (e.g., Python, Node.js, React/Vue, and Cloud Infrastructure). You should be comfortable building a product from scratch.
• AI Agent Expertise: Direct experience working with LLMs, prompt engineering, and specifically developing autonomous AI agents or agentic workflows.
• Proven Leadership: Experience in a senior R&D role (Lead, CTO, or VP R&D) within a fast-paced environment.
• Entrepreneurial DNA: You are a problem-solver who thrives in the "chaos" of a pre-funded startup. Previous experience as a founder or early employee is a major plus.
• Background: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Engineering (ex-8200 or similar elite unit experience is highly valued).

What We Offer

• A significant equity stake as a Co-Founder.
• The opportunity to shape the future of business AI with a veteran partner who has "done it before."
• A direct path to a full-time leadership role as we close our current funding round.
