The RoleWe’re looking for a CTO to join as a core member of the founding team and own the technical vision, architecture, and execution of our world-model stack. You’ll work directly alongside our founders – spanning physics-priors neural networks, SE(3)-equivariant RL, sim-to-real robotics, and large-scale ML systems – to turn a strong research thesis into a fleet-scale product. This is a hire we expect to sit at the center of fundraising, hiring, and technical strategy from day one.What You’ll DoOwn the end-to-end technical architecture for a physics-grounded world model trained via self-play RL, spanning simulation, sim-to-real transfer, and real-world rollout recalibrationBuild and lead a world-class research and engineering team, starting with our Founding Research Scientist (World Models & Self-Play) and Sim-to-Real Research Engineer hiresMake and defend architecture-level bets: simulation stack (Isaac Sim/Lab, MuJoCo), training infrastructure, cross-embodiment generalization, and evaluation methodologyRepresent OMN4I’s technical thesis to investors, technical advisors, and the research community – with the rigor to withstand expert scrutinyPartner with the CEO on fundraising, competitive positioning, and public technical content (blog posts, benchmark releases)Set technical culture and hiring bar as the team scales post-seedWhat We’re Looking ForDeep expertise in physics-grounded world models, model-based RL, or self-play systems – published research, applied production experience, or bothTrack record leading technical teams, not just contributing individually – you’ve hired, mentored, and made resourcing calls under real constraintsEntrepreneurial instinct: comfortable with ambiguity, pre-product-market-fit decision-making, and moving faster than a research lab timelineFluency in the current physical AI landscape – imitation learning, VLA approaches, and where self-play and physics priors offer genuine differentiation, not just narrativeExperience with sim-to-real transfer and/or robotics deployment is a strong plusComfortable operating in a small, high-trust founding team where technical calls are made fast and owned fully #J-18808-Ljbffr
