CTO · Spucce Venture Stockholm | Co-founding partner role | Equity: 10–15% with 4-year vesting and 1-year cliff
I'm Robin, founder of Spucce Venture. Spucce is a venture builder studio. We build, run, and scale companies on our own infrastructure. The Venture Engine is our first product. It is the operating system that powers everything we launch.
Not a SaaS tool. Not another Intelligence wrapper. The operating system for building companies from scratch.
I have the vision, the working prototype, the backend, the closed pre-seed, and the cost model. What I do not yet have is the CTO who owns the entire technical layer and turns this into a living, scaling system.
That person is you.
Spucce is a venture builder studio. The Venture Engine is our first product. It is the technical backbone for everything we do. The digital twin of the entire venture creation process. From idea validation to company formation to daily operations.
It includes persistent memory architecture, Intelligence agent orchestration, modular workspace systems, automation layers, a credit-based economy+ 100 more technological/business terms.
Every venture we launch runs on this engine. The better you build it, the more companies we can run with fewer people and less capital.
We are not trying to launch a finished product to the market next month. The roadmap is deliberate.
Phase 1. Build the demo. Prove the architecture works. (Some work already done.)
Phase 2. Selected alpha users. Run our own internal ventures on the engine. Stress-test every layer. (Network established + test ventures in-place.)
Phase 3. Open it to entrepreneurial user bases and ecosystem partners. Real founders. Real feedback. (over 600 verified entrepreneurs ready to our beta users)
Phase 4. Scale.
We build it for ourselves first. Then we build it for everyone else.

The will to see this through
We are building the team. Right now we are recruiting for three leadership seats:
Chief Technology Officer: You
Chief Engineer/infrastructure Officer: The depth in memory, agents, and fullstack infrastructure
Chief Design / Marketing Officer: Design, brand, voice, and go-to-market
Chief Executive Officer: Me, produkt, sales, network, operations
You own the entire technical layer. Architecture decisions. Stack choices. Build priorities. Intelligence infrastructure design. Security. Performance. You decide how the engine works under the hood.
Specifically, you will architect and lead the Venture Engine from current alpha through full system. You will design identity and permission layers, persistent structured memory, Intelligence agent frameworks, automation logic, multi-Creator coordination, cross-venture intelligence, and the modular workspace that ties it all together.
You think in systems. You think in years. Every venture we launch runs on what you build. This is foundational infrastructure.
Full-stack engineer with deep system-design instincts. You understand backend architecture, APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure, and security. You can integrate Intelligence models, design agent workflows, and architect retrieval and memory systems.
Some skills below is acceptable, understandable if not all.
Technical depth:
Full-stack engineering across backend, frontend, infrastructure
Production ML or Intelligence engineering with shipped systems
RAG, vector databases, embedding pipelines, retrieval systems
Memory architecture, knowledge graphs, context engineering
Multi-agent coordination, distributed systems, event-driven architectures
Cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), security, identity at scale
API design, database architecture, performance and scaling engineering
Real-time systems, automation pipelines
Autonomous systems, SLAM, state estimation under uncertainty
Leadership:
Built and led engineering teams from a handful to many
Hired senior engineers and shaped the technical bar
Set technical strategy alongside business strategy
Created engineering culture, code standards, and rituals that scale
Cross-functional with product, design, and business
Mentored engineers from mid-level to lead
Science and research:
BSc, MSc, or PhD in Computer Science, Physics, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
Research depth, published papers, or work at the frontier of a field
Track record of learning fast where the map runs out
Product and business sense:
Understand how technical choices shape product, cost, and trajectory
Cost structure thinking across cloud, compute, and build vs buy
Translate vision into roadmap and roadmap into shipped work
Comfortable working with founders, investors, and the board
Time-to-market vs long-term architecture trade-offs
Track record:
Shipped products end to end
Built at startup pace, 0 to 1 and 1 to 10
Calm in ambiguity, decisive in pivots
Brings receipts: things you have built that are still running
You are looking for safety
You want chill
You are looking for a salary hamster-wheel
You need certainty before you commit
You want a job, not a venture
You think CTO is a title before it is a calling
You cannot handle stress
You cannot handle pivots
You cannot ride the emotional lows and highs
You do not keep your word
You have one foot out the door
You disappear when the work gets hard
You need permission before you move
You look for someone to blame when things break
You care more about how it looks than how it works
You let mood drive decisions
You bring drama instead of work
You finish things only when someone is watching
You expect to renegotiate after every win
You see this as a stepping stone
You waste other people time
You are not based in Stockholm
This is a builder seat. The studio runs at the pace of the people in it. If you need the runway paved before you walk, this is not your seat.
Equity: 10–15% sweat equity deal with 4-year vesting and a 1-year cliff. Final number depends on what you bring and how you commit.
Salary: No salary for the first months while we get the product underway. The first salary lands when we launch the prototype to market. Our first seed investment. Target around 1 September 2026, realistically later. The pace depends on the team we build.
Location: Stockholm. This is not remote. The work requires proximity, especially in the early phase.
Role: CTO and partner. Board-level involvement. Direct influence on product, capital deployment, and studio direction. You do not just build one product. You are part of the studio that builds ventures.
The cap table

51% Founder
25% ESOP: (Your equity comes from this pool)
24% Investors
This is an adventure. A real one.
We build the studio together. Then the engine. Then the companies the engine runs. You will be the CTO of many produkt, ventures to come.
If you want to be part of that journey, from one prototype to a platform to a portfolio of ventures the world has not seen before, apply.
If you want a job, this is not it.
If you want a venture, a partner and the chance to build something a generation will stand on, apply! : )
