Regnitive is an early-stage startup building AI-powered privacy and data governance software for businesses.
I'm looking for a Technical Co-Founder to help build and scale the product long term. This is an equity-based founding role with a meaningful ownership stake for the right person. I'm looking for someone who wants to build a company, not take on freelance or consulting work.
Ideally, you:
Are based in Ontario (strongly preferred) or elsewhere in Canada Have strong full-stack engineering experience Have built or helped scale SaaS products Enjoy solving complex technical problems Want to build for the long term
Please take a look at https://regnitive.com first. If what we're building resonates with you, email chiomakamalu@regnitive.com with a short introduction and your LinkedIn and/or GitHub. If it looks like a good mutual fit, I'd be happy to set up a conversation.
Looking for: Automotive experience, Full-Stack, AI/ML, Data Engineers (public-sector/govtech experience a plus)
