Co-Founder & Head of Technology – Vault (Equity Only)

Help us revolutionize the wine industry with AI + Blockchain

About Vault

Vault is a cutting-edge wine technology platform designed to modernize wine investment, discovery, and digital cellar management. We combine blockchain-backed traceability with AI-powered cellar tools to serve both:

• B2C – Wine enthusiasts seeking smarter, more transparent wine discovery and portfolio tracking
• B2B – Wineries, distributors, and importers looking for secure provenance tracking and next-gen sales tools

We’re building the future of how fine wine is bought, sold, stored, and experienced — and we’re looking for the right tech leader to join us at the ground floor.

The Role

We are seeking a Co-Founder & Head of Technology to own the tech vision and execution from day one. This is an equity-only position for someone ready to build something transformative alongside a founding team with deep wine industry and commercial expertise.

You will:

• Lead the development of our MVP / beta product — from concept to launch
• Architect and oversee AI-driven features for cellar management, wine discovery, and market analytics
• Integrate blockchain technology for secure provenance and transparency
• Build and manage the technical roadmap, stack, and development team (initially lean, scaling post-funding)
• Conduct detailed MVP cost analysis and advise on efficient scaling strategies
• Own the ongoing technology strategy , including product evolution, integrations, and security

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in AI development and blockchain applications (ideally in traceability, supply chain, or fintech contexts)
• Strong web platform development skills — able to guide front-end, back-end, and integrations
• Comfortable working in a startup environment — adaptable, resourceful, and hands-on
• Track record of building and launching scalable MVPs
• Strategic thinker who can balance innovation with practicality
• Passion for wine, luxury goods, or investment platforms is a big plus

What We Offer

• Co-Founder equity stake — significant ownership in the company you’ll help build
• Opportunity to shape the technology and product vision from the ground up
• Work with an experienced founding team with strong industry networks
• Potential to transition into a CTO role post-funding with competitive salary

This is not a job for someone looking for a paycheck today — it’s for someone who wants to build equity, own their impact, and create something that could redefine a global industry .
