Payment via equity only until funding depending on role: 5-10%

If you love playing or running tabletop role-play games and are looking for a fresh start of being the CTO for a new tech startup that is looking to disrupt the industry - keep reading. If you have no experience or knowledge in TTRPG's - this post is not for you.

Company Mission

To build a suite of products that make playing tabletop role-play games easy.

Background

The complexity of playing tabletop role-play games (TTRPG) has been a barrier to entry for many people. However, this curve continues to exist even as players grow in experience. Nurl is a company that is looking to change that. We are building a suite of products that make playing TTRPGs easy. Our first product is our "hub" app that will give groups a single resource to do many magical things to enhance the game session experience. We are looking for a CTO to help us build the technology that will power our products and the future of TTRPGs.

Who you are

Nurl is a fast growing company that requires a high standard of quality results to set ourselves apart from the competition. This means you are a person who has the "inability to quit" and will do whatever it takes to solve a complex problem without compromising high quality standards (i.e. it's against your nature to give up).

• You have at least 10 years experience in the industry.
• You thrive in solving hard problems.
• You are a person who still loves to code (and wants to) on a daily basis using progressive and advanced technology.
• You consider yourself a "lifelong-learner".
• You have experience managing teams.
• You have experience working in startups.
• You have experience with openAI, Python, and Rust.

Most importantly, you are ready to change the TTRPG industry and want to be a part of that disruption for the betterment of our community.

This role is the 2nd hire of the team (outside of the technical Founder & CEO) so you will be working closely with them and openly contributing to the product evolution throughout the lifespan of the company.

What the job involves

• Collaborate and own the architecture of Nurl.
• Design, build, and maintain significant parts of the Nurl platform and it's services.
• Design and advance the Nuro™ AI engine.
• Advance the Nurl product stack to ensure it will scale with the company.
• Attend weekly status meetings (virtual or in person depending on location).
• Attend investor meetings if/when needed.
• Attend flexible project management meetings (anti-scrum/agile) in order to plan and meet goals.
• Proactive communication on statuses and achieving goals.

Gain Advantage

• Currently running or playing TTRPG games
• Experience with OpenAI Assistants
• Using "Clean Code" standards

Crit Hit

• Are a current user of Nurl's products
• Experience with advanced AI features and machine learning (i.e. not ChatGPT)
• Experience with Rust
