Co-Founder & CTO (Equity Only / Pre-Funding / California) — AI Digital Twin / Smart City Simulation

Stealth DeepTech Startup We are building a self-calibrating urban digital twin platform that fixes one of the biggest problems in smart-city simulations: static models that drift from reality. Our venture integrates heterogeneous city telemetry (mobility, energy, telecom, IoT, demographics) to: • Infer evidence-based disruption scenarios • Inject them programmatically into simulations • Monitor population-behavior divergence • Recalibrate models in a closed loop The result: decision-grade resilience modeling for cities, infrastructure operators, and national agencies. Stealth mode. Full technical materials shared under NDA. The Role (Equity Only) You are the founding CTO. You own the end-to-end roadmap and MVP delivery of a cloud-native, self-calibrating digital twin platform. You will: • Architect cloud-native microservices (data ingestion, causal inference, calibration engine) • Integrate simulation engines (Unity/Unreal and/or HPC co-simulation) • Implement Bayesian inference, Kalman filters, and real-time calibration logic • Build CI/CD, Kubernetes infrastructure, and security/compliance (ISO 27001, GDPR) • Drive IP/patent coordination • Lead zero-to-one execution • No salary. No advisory structure. Founder-level equity only. Ideal Profile: • 10+ years SaaS/AI leadership • Deep Kubernetes + distributed systems expertise • Strong background in Bayesian modeling, causal inference, Kalman filtering • Experience with game engines or HPC simulation environments • Proven startup zero-to-one builder • US-based (required) Apply: If you are intentionally seeking an equity-only, pre-funding CTO co-founder role in AI-powered urban simulation and resilience infrastructure, apply to begin a confidential technical discussion.
