Job Description

### What We're Building

ForeMetric.ai is privacy infrastructure that returns ownership of behavioral
data to the people who create it.

The real problem: Google, Meta, and data brokers have spent 20 years silently
extracting behavioral data from users — scroll patterns, location, intent
signals, device usage — and monetizing it without compensation. Users create
the asset, corporations keep 100% of the value.

Our solution: a native mobile app that collects behavioral signals locally,
transforms them into encrypted mathematical vectors (never raw data), and
processes them inside hardware-isolated
TEE enclaves. B2B clients (AI Labs, AdTech, Fintech) buy predictive insights —
not raw datasets.
80% of revenue flows back to users via smart contract.

The mechanism:
• Native app collects sensor data (100-200Hz foreground, activity recognition
in background)
• On-device PII sanitization via TinyBERT — personal data never leaves the
phone
• Vectorization: raw behavior → float32[128] encrypted vectors
• Dual-Key encryption: DataKey in Secure Enclave/StrongBox, only user controls
recovery
• Server-side TEE (Intel TDX, Phase 2) processes encrypted vectors — host OS
never sees plaintext
• Differential Privacy (ε=4.0) ensures no individual can be re-identified from
B2B outputs
• Revenue Splitter smart contract on TON: 80% to users, 10% referrers, 10%
protocol

Market: $65.3B TAM (2025) → $189.58B (2030-36) across behavioral analytics,
alternative data, and privacy-preserving AI training.

### Why This Matters

This is about data sovereignty — if your behavior creates economic value, you
should capture that value. BigTech's extraction model worked for 20 years
because users had no alternative.
Now they do.

Our architecture makes it technically impossible for anyone — including us —
to access raw user data. Privacy isn't a policy, it's physics.

For the engineer joining us: you'll build systems where cryptography and
hardware isolation enforce what other companies only promise in privacy
policies. That's rare.
That's meaningful.

### Compensation Structure — Let's Be Transparent

This is a pre-funding co-founder role. Here's exactly what that means:

What you get from Day 1:
• 10% equity (4-year vesting, 1-year cliff) — you're a true Co-Founder
• CTO title + full technical autonomy
• Remote-first flexibility
• Impact: build infrastructure from zero, not inherit legacy code

What you DON'T get until funding closes:
• Salary (we're pre-revenue, pre-funding)
• Benefits (health insurance, etc.)

When does salary start?
After pre-seed funding closes (target: July-August 2026). We're targeting
$250-300K pre-seed, which will fund:
• 40% CTO salary + dev team (6 months runway)
• 30% infrastructure (TEE servers, TON Storage)
• 20% legal (Cayman Foundation + compliance)
• 10% marketing

Expected post-funding salary: $120K-$180K/year (market rate for CTO at pre-
seed stage)

The upside:
• 10% equity at pre-seed = potentially $1.5-2.5M value at Seed ($15-25M pre-
money)
• Full ownership of technical vision and architecture
• Building something that returns 80% of value to users (opposite of BigTech
extraction)

Is this for you?
• YES if: You believe in the vision, have 3-6 months runway to work for
equity, want to build from scratch
• NO if: You need immediate salary, can't take risk on pre-funding startup

### A Note on the Tech Stack (Please Read!)

We know the stack below looks intimidating. Rust + TEE + TON + Mobile Native +
Differential Privacy is a rare combination.

Here's the truth: we don't expect you to be an expert in all of these on Day
1.

The Must-Haves:
• Strong systems programming (Rust or deep C++/Go experience)
• Mobile architecture understanding (iOS/Android native APIs, background
limits, battery optimization)
• Hacker mindset + engineering taste

What We'll Learn Together:
• TEEs (Intel TDX, Secure Enclave, StrongBox)
• TON smart contracts (Tolk language)
• Differential Privacy (OpenDP, ε=4.0)

If you're missing a few keywords above but love solving hard infrastructure
problems and are ready to dive deep — please apply anyway. We care more about
how you think, your engineering fundamentals, and your drive to build than a
perfect resume checklist.

### What You'll Build

Tech stack:
• Rust monorepo (mobile SDK + TEE server + smart contracts)
• Flutter (mobile app with Rust FFI via flutter _rust_ bridge)
• Mobile TEE: Secure Enclave (iOS) / StrongBox (Android) — hardware key
storage + attestation
• Server TEE: Intel TDX (Phase 2) + Gramine LibOS — confidential compute
enclaves
• TON blockchain (Jetton tokens, smart contracts, Merkle Drops)
• iOS/Android native APIs (CoreMotion, SensorManager, NEDNSSettingsManager)
• Differential Privacy (OpenDP, ε=4.0)
• Llama-3 (inference in TEE for B2B insights + user Oracle)
• Proof-of-Behavior v2.0 (App Attest + 1D-CNN micro-tremor classifier)

Your role:
• Architect and build Rust infrastructure from MVP → Alpha → Fair Launch
• Implement mobile TEE integration (Secure Enclave / StrongBox for key storage
+ attestation)
• Implement server TEE integration (Intel TDX + Gramine LibOS)
• Build mobile SDK (iOS CoreMotion + Android SensorManager)
• Deploy TON smart contracts (Tolk language)
• Implement Proof-of-Behavior v2.0 (hardware attestation + biomechanical
classifier)
• Lead technical roadmap and hire engineering team post-funding

### What We Have Right Now

✅ Working demo (foremetric.ai)
✅ Complete technical specification (CTO doc, 30+ pages)
✅ Whitepaper + market research package (5 deep-dive queries)
✅ COO on board
✅ Pre-seed fundraising in progress ($250-300K target)

Current phase:
we're launching with an internal off-chain "Points System" first to build the
community and validate the tech, before transitioning to the $FORE utility
token once our legal entity (Cayman Foundation)
is set up.

### Ideal Candidate (The Fundamentals)

• 3+ years of systems programming (Rust is our language, but if you're a
C++/Go veteran eager to switch to Rust, let's talk)
• Experience with mobile development (understanding iOS/Android native APIs,
background limits, battery optimization)
• A deep understanding of security, cryptography, or privacy (you don't need
to be a PhD, but you care about doing things right)
• Startup DNA: you prefer writing code and shipping over sitting in meetings

Bonus points (but not required):
• Prior experience with TEEs (SGX, TDX, TrustZone, Secure Enclave)
• Blockchain/Web3 experience (TON, Solana, or Ethereum)
• Background in ML inference or differential privacy

### Timeline & Next Steps

We're closing the CTO hire by end of June 2026. Pre-seed funding target: July-
August 2026.

How we work:

1. We'll have a casual 30-min chat about the vision and your background
2. I'll send you our CTO technical specification to review
3. We'll do a technical deep-dive to see if our engineering tastes align
4. If it's a mutual fit, we sign the co-founder agreement and start building

Contact: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) (or just apply here,
and I'll reach out directly!)

Still interested? Great — let's talk. We'll be transparent about everything.
