Walkimpact Startup

About the Role

We are looking for a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to join the founding leadership team. This is a co-founder level position for a builder who wants to lead both strategy and execution. You will lead all technological aspects of our product, infrastructure, and roadmap — from architecture to AI integration — working closely with product, clinical teams to deliver a scalable, impactful, and secure digital experience. This is not just a tech role. It's a commitment to building technology that saves lives.

Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture and infrastructure of our cross-platform, AI-driven resilience platform
• Design and implement AI capabilities, including personalization engines, NLP, and behavior-adaptive logic
• Ensure data security and system integrity at clinical and organizational standards
• Collaborate closely with product and clinical leaders to shape features based on research, behavior science, and real-world needs
• Own the technical roadmap from MVP to scale — from pilots with military units to partnerships with public and private institutions
• Contribute to fundraising, growth strategy, and partnerships as part of the core founding team
• Recruit and lead a high-performing development team aligned with our mission and values

Required Background

• Proven experience as a senior engineer or CTO in an early-stage startup or mission-driven company
• Full-stack development experience, include product base on AI, web and mobile backend systems, and cloud infrastructure
• Strong foundation in AI/ML, particularly LLM's customized models
• Track record of building scalable and secure platforms
• Excellent leadership, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills
• High resilience and ability to work in high-intensity, purpose-driven environments

Preferred Experience

• Prior experience in digital health, mental health, or wellness platforms
• Personal connection to or professional experience with military, emergency, or trauma-related fields
• Experience working with conversational product layers – an advantage

Why Join to WalkImpact?

Join a mission-driven founding team with deep high-tech, product, and clinical expertise. Be the tech leader in a company working directly with military and emergency institutions. Work at the intersection of AI, behavioral science, and national resilience. Build technology that directly supports people facing trauma, pressure, and emotional overload. Be part of a product already moving into pilots, with growing demand and strong backing. If you're ready to build technology that matters — for people who risk everything — we're ready to meet you.

Let's build resilience. Together.
