Job Title: Founding Engineering Leader


About Us:

ComplexChaos is on a mission to help humanity cooperate at scale.


We are a pre-seed startup funded by Village Global (a VC chaired by Reid Hoffman and backed by Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and more) and angels including founder/CEO at OpenGov, Google's former Director of Security, and the founders of Mural, Pactum AI, WhatsApp, and others. Some of our advisors are former SVPs of Workday, Symantec, Visa, VMWare, Box, etc.


If the words “zero to one” don’t get you jazzed, you’re in the wrong place. We’ve got some wild ideas and a tech stack that’s halfway between a startup’s fever dream and an engineer’s best-kept secret. Think AWS, VueJS, Tailwind UI, Node, Express, Prisma, Postgres on Heroku and Vercel – and if you know why that’s both brilliant and certifiably nuts, we’re talking to you.


What We Need: We're on the hunt for a Founding Engineering Leader, aka the Chaos Tamer, who can match our speed, wit, and audacity. You’ll be the captain of our tech ship, steering us from this pre-product storm into a scalable, market-leading B2B SaaS powerhouse. Extra points if you can do it with a smirk.


What You’ll Do:

  • Architect, build, and lead – all at once. If you’re looking for layers of middle management, kindly hit 'back'.
  • Collaborate with our equally ambitious and visionary team to bring our product roadmap to life, but with a sprinkle of your own genius.
  • Ensure our VueJS, Tailwind UI, Node, Express, Prisma, and Postgres tech stack doesn’t just work but sings as we scale.
  • Decide what stays, what goes, and what we don’t even know we need yet.
  • Partner with the CEO and COO, who are masters of creative thinking, big-picture ideas, and well, organized chaos.
  • Speak B2B SaaS fluently, but with an accent of startup zero-to-one.


The Ideal Candidate:

  • 15+ years of experience – Yes, we’re serious. We want someone who’s seen some things, both the good and the "we don’t talk about that" projects.
  • Proven startup experience, preferably in the elusive zero-to-one phase. If you’ve birthed a product from sheer will and a smattering of code, we’re ready to listen.
  • Deep knowledge of B2B SaaS. If the phrase “enterprise integration” makes you smirk knowingly, bonus points.
  • AI chops? Desired, but not mandatory. We like AI, but we love execution more.
  • Master of the MVP mentality but can scale faster than a coffee-fueled founder at a pitch competition.
  • A knack for explaining tech to non-tech people (and finding humor in their “Ah, got it!” moments).
  • Ready to make decisions and own them – with a little chaos on the side.


Why You’ll Love It Here:

  • Flexibility: We’re hybrid – expect to bounce between Zoom, airports, and brainstorming sessions at our global headquarters (aka anywhere with Wi-Fi).
  • Vibes: Fast, sassy, ambitious. We don’t just break the mold; we recycle it into something better.


If you think you have what it takes to be the tech trailblazer who can harness ComplexChaos and turn it into our product baby.


ComplexChaos is an equal opportunity employer. We value unconventional minds, resilient spirits, and those who thrive in uncertainty. Come prepared for the adventure.
