The brief
Why this role exists
The most useful person is rarely the person with the most connections or the shortest graph distance.
A strong path depends on evidence, recency, reciprocity, relevance, permission, connector suitability, user intent, and the likelihood that anyone should act.
This role should open when Introd has sufficient authoritative relationship data and real introduction outcomes to evaluate whether new intelligence improves decisions.

Candidate evidence
Show us a model, ranking system, or decision system where evaluation materially changed your understanding of what “good” meant.
No implied promise
The path from here
This is not a generic LLM role. Introd does not assume that adding more AI inherently creates a better decision.
Contribution and ownership
Ownership should follow contribution.
Introd is being built by people who think and act like owners. Depending on the opportunity, commitment, applicable law, and formal approval, compensation may include stock options subject to the company’s equity plan, vesting terms, exercise conditions, and required corporate approvals.
A founding title describes the stage and level of contribution. It does not by itself create founder, officer, director, shareholder, or governance status.
How we work
How we work when the map is incomplete
Introd is still early enough that important decisions will not arrive with perfect evidence or detailed instructions. We expect people to ask good questions, form a point of view, make the work visible, and move.
We care about speed, but not the kind created by leaving a mess for someone else. We care about ambition, but not performance. We tell one another the truth, stay close to users, document consequential decisions, and protect the trust people place in the product.
You will have real ownership here. That means room to shape the work and responsibility for what happens after it ships.
A wider field of view
Bring the path that brought you here
The strongest teams are built by people with different histories, perspectives, and ways of seeing a problem. Introd considers qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable law.
If the work sounds like yours but your background does not match every conventional pattern, we still want to hear from you.
