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 builds—turning 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. You’ll be the engineer who codes, prototypes, and scales the tech backbone that redefines architecture.
What You’ll 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 don’t 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 → You’ve built products end-to-end. You thrive in chaos. Execution >
theory.
We care more about what you’ve 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 6–10 weeks (yes, non-negotiable).
First real users & pilots by Month 3–4.
Pre-Seed fundraising by Month 4.
What’s 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 isn’t a “job.” This is a moonshot. We’re not here to build another SaaS. We’re here to automate architecture itself—the single biggest bottleneck in how cities, homes, and infrastructure are created. If this resonates : stop reading, start building.
