A7 Labs
A7 Labs is a venture studio building the future of work. We create and operate platforms that connect distributed companies with exceptional talent worldwide.
The recruitment industry is broken. It's inefficient, expensive, and relies on outdated methods. We see an opportunity to build AI-powered systems that making placements happen faster and more accurately than ever before.
You'll be a founding technical co-founder, not an employee. This means architecting the product vision, making core technical decisions, and building the initial systems that prove the concept works. You'll have complete ownership over how we solve this problem technically, from AI implementation to product architecture.
This is for people ready to bet on themselves. You get significant equity upside, not a traditional salary. If you need immediate income this isn't the right fit, but if you want to build something meaningful from zero and share in the success you create, keep reading.
Defining the technical architecture and product roadmap alongside the founding team
Building AI systems for recruitment automation using LLMs and intelligent agents
Creating the initial MVP and proving the concept with early customers
Making all core technical decisions about stack, infrastructure, and product direction
Participating in accelerator programs and funding processes
Recruiting and eventually leading the technical team as we scale
Shaping company strategy and business direction as a founding team member

Deep experience with LLMs and AI systems (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar)
Strong full-stack engineering ability to build and ship independently
Entrepreneurial drive and comfort with extreme ambiguity
Strong product intuition and ability to identify what users actually need
Ability to relocate to or already based in the United States for accelerator programs
Willingness to commit long-term to building something significant
Bonus points:
Experience in recruitment tech or understanding hiring workflows
Previous startup founding or early-stage experience
Track record of building products from zero to launch
Comfort with business strategy and go-to-market thinking
Equity: Significant founding ownership.
Profit sharing: When milestones are hit, you share the upside immediately. No need to wait for an exit.
Salary: None initially. Once we hit revenue or funding milestones, we transition to market-rate compensation while maintaining equity.
The real benefits: Complete ownership of technical direction. Build from absolute zero with proven operator support. Access to top accelerator programs and funding networks. Work from anywhere until programs require relocation. Learn the venture studio model from the inside. Shape every decision as a true founding team member.
