ABOUT ORPEX
The next generation of service companies won't scale through headcount. They'll be built by tiny teams orchestrating AI workforces with 1000x the output. Orpex is building the infrastructure they run on: agentic workforce, company brain, human trust layer, one cockpit to run the business.
We just raised an oversubscribed 2.7M angel round in 7 days and are moving at rapid speed.
EX-FOUNDER / EX-CTO
You've built a company before. Now build the platform that empowers the next generation of founders.
We don't have a fixed scope for this role. We build it around what you're best at. Engineering, product, or running the operating side of the company. If you can tell us what you'd own in your first 90 days, we can probably make it real. For the right technical person, this is the technical leadership seat at Orpex.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
One of these should be true:
You founded a venture-backed or bootstrapped company, whether or not it worked out.
You were CTO or first technical hire at a startup before
You shipped the product a team still credits you for.
You ran a service business and know from the inside exactly what Orpex replaces.
YOUR FIRST MONTH
Own it from day one. You pick the thing, you own the outcome.
Build with the founder. No layers, no politics, decisions in hours.
Set the bar. How we ship, who we hire, what good looks like.
WE OFFER
Compensation and equity built around you. Sized for someone building the company, not joining it. Real numbers on the first call.
San Francisco, in person. Relocation and visa sponsorship covered.
Pace and purpose. Small team, high standards, high trust, no politics.

What We Do
Orpex provides an AI operating system for AI-native service businesses. Users describe the company they want to build, and Orpex assembles an AI-agent workforce, operating playbooks, and a shared company “brain” to run it. Its agents can support recruiting, website development, marketing, PR, lead generation, and back-office work, while founders retain oversight and approve key actions. The platform aims to help small teams operate companies with less reliance on headcount.
