## About the Role

InterviewNext is seeking a talented Founding Partner CTO to lead and drive the technology vision and strategy for the company. The ideal candidate will be responsible for shaping the software development process, building cutting-edge solutions powered by AI, and overseeing the development of innovative products. This role is pivotal in driving the company's success through technological advancements and ensuring the delivery of high-quality software products. Most important: Have the passion and drive to build new solutions from scratch in an owner role (unpaid until funding is raised or we achieve specific revenue goals.)

## Responsibilities

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define technology roadmap and product strategy
- Manage the full software development lifecycle from planning to deployment

- Proven track record of building a SaaS platform from scratch
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to think creatively

## About InterviewNext

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: InterviewNext provides AI-powered hiring tools that automate interview plan creation, candidate assessment, and outreach without requiring chat‑based AI interaction.
- **Entity Type**: Private (bootstrapped / solo founder)
- **Headquarters**: Redwood City, California, United States
- **Founded**: ~2023 (based on earliest LinkedIn activity)
- **Founders**: Jeremy Reid

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Human Resources / Talent Acquisition Technology (HR Tech)
- **Target customers**: B2B – recruiters, hiring managers, and talent acquisition teams
- **Mission**: To streamline hiring processes with compliant, structured AI tools that eliminate inefficient chat interactions and reduce bias.

## Products & Services
- **InterviewNext AI Hiring Tools**: A suite of tools for creating job descriptions, building interview plans, assessing candidates, and generating outreach messages. The tools are “chat‑free” – they use structured inputs and outputs rather than conversational AI, aiming for consistency and compliance.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly available (bootstrapped, no disclosed funding)
- **Key Metric**: No public revenue or funding figures; founder noted a “small handful of customer users” as of October 2024
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: None publicly known
- **Growth Signals**: Founder Jeremy Reid has 20+ years in talent acquisition, product management, and sales; the product is in very early stage with a handful of users. As of October 2024, the founder was actively seeking full‑time employment, indicating the venture may be on hold or not yet scaled.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Differentiator**: “Chat‑free” AI approach – eliminates the inefficiency and inconsistency of conversational AI by using structured input/output templates, which also supports regulatory compliance.
- **Domain expertise**: Built by a former recruiter and product manager who understands pain points firsthand.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Growing the user base and potentially seeking funding or partnerships. The founder’s recent posts suggest he is also offering fractional consulting through a separate brand (Tavalent.com) while continuing to develop InterviewNext.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Early‑stage, founder‑led environment. Jeremy Reid emphasises integrity, empathy, and a supportive team culture.
- **Remote/Hybrid**: Likely remote‑friendly (founder is based in Redwood City, CA, but no explicit policy stated).
- **Notable perks/engineering culture**: Opportunity to shape a product from the ground up. However, as of late 2024, the company appears to be a solo operation with no active job openings found on its careers page.
