Role overview
iinvest is a pre-seed, operator-led company building an AI-native platform for the trading industry. We unify growth, onboarding, community, and operational workflows into a single product designed to replace the fragmented stack most brokers, affiliates, and trading communities rely on today.
Our focus is building infrastructure that scales globally while meeting the expectations of high-integrity fintech environments. We are creating a platform where real-time engagement, performance tracking, and automation work together, powered by AI and built to drive measurable revenue outcomes for partners.
What you will do
- Architect and ship the "Universal Translator" API to ingest C2PA, SynthID, and watermarks into a clean verification signal.
- Build a high-throughput, immutable registry for content "birth certificates" using Solana or Layer 2 blockchain rollups.
- Integrate open-source forensic tools and computer vision models to provide a real-time shield against sophisticated deepfakes.
Who this is a fit for
- AI-native developer who leverages tools like Cursor and V0 to ship MVP-level infrastructure with 10x speed and efficiency.
- Expert in low-level performance languages like Rust, Go, or C++ with a background in cryptography or distributed systems.
- Former founder or lead engineer from a high-growth startup who prefers opening an IDE to managing large agencies.
Why this role is remarkable
- Opportunity to build the "Visa for truth," creating a generational protocol that charges a fee for every AI-verified content interaction.
- Significant double-digit ownership stake as a true partner to a founder with deep fintech GTM and scaling expertise.
- Solve hard-tech problems involving cryptography and high-scale systems that protect the shared reality of the digital world.
