Principal, Special Missions at Cenotian

Execute founder-mandated strategic bets at the intersection of robotics and asset-backed financing. As a 'Commercial AI Engineer,' you will lead high-stakes, cross-functional missions to validate and build next-generation platforms. This role is a fast track to business ownership within an IPO-bound company solving the fundamental financing gap for global automation.

• Lead time-bound, founder-mandated missions embedded across finance, product, and commercial functions to validate and launch new services.
• Use modern AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor) to collapse engineering and commercial interfaces, shipping working prototypes in days rather than weeks.
• Drive 'go/no-go' decisions on multi-million dollar initiatives by surfacing hard truths about unit economics, scalability, and real-world execution.

• Possesses a strong STEM/CS foundation (Engineering, Physics, or Math) combined with a career primarily focused on high-pressure commercial delivery.
• Demonstrates extreme AI fluency, acting as a force multiplier who can build software, automations, and models without relying on external engineering resources.
• Features a background as a former founder or a 'launcher' from high-growth environments like Revolut, Uber, or top-tier management consultancy.

• Work directly with founders and the executive leadership team as a high-agency 'founder-in-residence' on the company’s most consequential strategic bets.
• Join a category-defining startup backed by a Tier-1 investor with a track record of decacorn outcomes in fintech and frontier robotics.
• Move beyond advisory or management into true ownership, with successful missions transitioning into permanent leadership of the new business units you build.
