💼 Full-time
Orkana is building the Autonomous Operating Layer for Supply Chains — an agentic AI platform that helps manufacturing companies continuously analyze their supply chains, detect risks early, prioritize optimization measures, and eventually automate operational decision-making. We start lean with Orkana Lite – Upload your Excel. Get autonomous intelligence. Long-term, we evolve into Orkana OS – an autonomous supply chain agent with ERP integration and execution capabilities. To build this category-defining AI company, we are looking for a technical Co-Founder / CTO who wants to architect and scale an enterprise-grade agent system from MVP to global SaaS platform. Your Responsibilities:
- Define and own Orkana’s overall technology architecture and product infrastructure.
- Build and launch the MVP (Excel ingestion, KPI engine, risk detection logic, LLM prioritization layer, automated reporting).
- Design and implement a scalable multi-tenant SaaS backend.
- Develop the agent logic for supply chain analysis, scenario simulation, and prioritization.
- Prepare the technical foundation for ERP/API integrations.
- Lead future development of the autonomous execution layer (policy engine, approval workflows, ERP write-back logic).
- Ensure security, compliance, and enterprise-grade data handling standards.
- Recruit and lead the future tech team (data engineers, backend developers, AI specialists).
- Translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
- Act as long-term technical visionary and product architect of Orkana. Minimum Requirements:
- Strong experience in backend architecture and scalable SaaS systems.
- Proven ability to build products from zero to MVP.
- Experience with data processing, analytics engines, or data pipelines.
- Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure and secure multi-tenant environments.
- Hands-on experience with AI/LLM integration or strong willingness to build agent-based systems.
- Entrepreneurial mindset and readiness to take ownership as a co-founder.
- Fluent in English.
- High autonomy, strategic thinking, and long-term commitment. Nice to Have:
- Experience with ERP integrations (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics).
- Background in supply chain, manufacturing systems, or operational optimization.
- Experience building AI agents or decision-support systems.
- Familiarity with workflow automation tools (Jira, Asana integrations).
- Understanding of enterprise sales cycles and SaaS economics.
- Previous startup or venture-building experience. What We Offer:
- Co-founder equity with significant long-term upside.
- Full ownership of product and technical vision.
- Opportunity to build a category-defining AI company in a €1–2B global market.
- Direct impact on strategy, roadmap, and company direction.
- Remote-first setup with full flexibility.
- The chance to build the operating layer for global supply networks. If you are not looking for just another CTO role — but for the opportunity to build an autonomous AI system that replaces traditional supply chain consulting — we should talk. Apply tot his job
