CTO / Technical Co-Founder (f/m/d) role at startup METAKI

Technical leadership

• Take technical/CTO ownership alongside Samir El Masri (Founder), covering architecture, ML engineering and data pipeline decisions.
• Help turn early industry discussions into validated industrial pilots by making the model production-ready.

Fundraising support

• Support funding applications and strategic introductions with a credible technical narrative and roadmap.

Requirements

What you bring

Core experience

• Strong machine learning background, ideally with graph neural networks, surrogate modeling, or physics-informed ML.
• Comfort working with finite element simulation data and engineering/physics domain concepts (solid or structural mechanics a plus).

Especially valuable

• Software/ML engineering experience taking a research pipeline to a scalable, production-ready product.
• Interest in building toward a general foundation model for engineering physics.
• Experience with industrial pilot partnerships or applied research collaborations.

Benefits

Why join Metaki

• A working FEM → data → NN pipeline already built, not just an idea — real technical traction to build on.
• Early industry discussions already underway, with funding applications and pilot partnerships actively being pursued.
• Ground-floor technical co-founder equity in a company aiming to become a foundational-model platform for engineering physics.

Metaki welcomes co-founder candidates regardless of gender, age, ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, sexual identity, or any other characteristic. This is a search for the right partner to build the company with, not a conventional hire.
