Co-founder CTO - AI for Impact - Permanent

Job description

Salary: Equal split equity

Become my associate!

Looking for a Cofounder CTO · Paris · Q2 2026

Industrial procurement teams make transport decisions without seeing the full cost of those decisions.

Mikado does one thing: make all these costs visible at the moment of procurement decision, so the buyer can optimize across them instead of optimizing only on the visible one (price).

🌍 IMPACT

10-15% recoverable over-payment

Real ROI. Resilient and Sustainable European industry in a high volatility market. More budget to fund for decarbonation investments. With optimized transport procurement decisions, carriers are selected based on multiple criteria including carbon emissions. Reducing 1% of European industrial road transport emissions by 2030, is equivalent to removing 200 000 cars off the roads. That’s the core of the system, not just an sustainability KPI.

⚙️ TECH

Not a GPT wrapper

Building an agentic AI system that ingests all kind of non-standardized documents, emails, spreadsheets, cost matrices and produces an auditable decision across five dimensions. This is not another GPT wrapper: a distributed system with a normalisation layer, scoring models, bills and contract matching, proprietary data gathering for performance and carbon emission of European carriers.
