The right "CTO" doesn’t need this job description, and won’t wake up in the morning with the thought “I am the CTO at Invisible,” but with the thought: “Have we taken over the world yet?” The right person already called me and told me these words:
You should hire me because I am going to help create the best goddamn system/platform/product that’s ever been created. Steve Jobs would have had a tough time picking his favorite between me and Woz. I take responsibility for everything related to technology or otherwise - bugs, delays, security, team, deployment, strategy, partnerships, delivery of all software, including velocity and quality, and own the product roadmap. I take ownership of recruiting and retention of talent.
I will get people to notice us and be awed. I will invite people to engage with our platform/service/product and they will be so captivated sales will have a hard time keeping up.
I am a master with code. I am an architect, a thinker, a researcher, a tester and a tinkerer. I’m a wizard of simplicity. Through the language of code, I invite people to change their point of view. I constantly seek to challenge myself, my assumptions and build my craft. I don’t just care about code and the architecture and the technology, I care about people, product, experience, systems and operations. I can think like a CEO. I want to be the tip of the spear and work with every other part of the company to make sure I am open to feedback, criticism — and to help find solutions through my design magic.
When you say “yes”, it will create a shockwave felt far and wide. And it shall be a sign and a portent of Invisible’s ultimate success.

Our Culture
“The culture is imbued with romantic capitalist values. These are just a few:
heroism (be insanely ambitious, you should want your boss’ job, you have a moral obligation to seek power and use it for good, the modern knight fights abstract dragons),
challenge (welcome adversity, struggles and suffering, steel yourself for the worst, challenge problems to a duel, seek the widest possible stage for your talents, identify and solve for the biggest problem you can find),
meritocracy (create and measure the value you create, strive to be the best),
ownership (you are the CEO until told otherwise),
collaboration (solving problems together benefits everyone),
competition (if you outperform you will be rewarded),
glory (do the great work of your life, here and now, the work that you were made for, and that you will be remembered for — seek your aristeia moment),
truth (seek the truth, express yourself freely, confront problems head on, be as transparent as possible, don’t hide the bad and the ugly, stand up for your opinion by engaging in debate, change your mind when you’re wrong), and
intensity (work HARD, don’t waste time, the more fully you absorb yourself in your work, the more aggressively you work, the better you work).”
Join Our Team
“Do it because you want to do something on the edge of hard and impossible. Do it if you are the unstoppable force seeking an immovable object. You want to see what you’re made of. Do it if you want to test your limits: your ability to create order in chaos, to operate under extreme stress, to achieve impossible goals…
Do it because you personally want a synthetic intelligence. Do it because you want to solve the biggest problem in the world: wasted time. Do it if you want humans to spend less time doing robotic jobs, and more time being creative and strategic.”
So what do you say, will you join us?
