Founder Associate, CTO

Vibe is building the Google Ads of Streaming, making TV advertising accessible to Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) across the U.S.

Our mission is to become the infrastructural backbone of the streaming advertising industry by creating a more efficient & transparent marketplace than the current standard.

Founded in 2022 by two repeat entrepreneurs and adtech veterans, Arthur Querou (ex-YCombinator) & Franck Tetzlaff (Doctolib Founder - $6B valuation e-health scaleup), Vibe has already achieved:

• 5,000+ clients onboarded

• $47M revenue in 2024

• 1B+ ad impressions on TV

In 2025, we’re targeting $100M revenue. Our ultimate goal is to help 1,000,000 businesses advertise on TV.

Your Mission

At Vibe.co, we’re redefining how brands engage with audiences through Connected TV advertising. We move fast, break silos, and build with impact.

We’re hiring a Founder Associate to support our Chief Technology Officer (CTO). You’ll work side-by-side with our CTO on everything from publisher partnerships to product strategy to AI-powered processes. This is a high-impact role that blends strategy, systems thinking, and hands-on execution across some of the most critical areas of the business.

What You’ll Do

This role is part builder, part operator, part strategist. You’ll work on technical and business topics spanning publishers, product, and AI innovation. Expect to:

• Define and drive our publisher strategy: identify opportunities to improve how we engage, support, and grow publisher relationships. Build the systems, processes, and tools that make our supply-side operations more scalable, data-driven, and effective.

• Build clarity in ambiguous areas: whether it's identifying gaps in how we track partner performance, structuring new deal workflows, or defining how we engage with specialized partner segments.

• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to improve internal processes and product development cycles, from brainstorming features to streamlining roadmap visibility.

• Build and maintain custom internal tools—especially dashboards and AI agents—to improve workflows across the CTO’s scope.

• Lead special projects that span publisher performance, creative validation, and AI-powered optimization tools.

• Help run Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) with publishers and identify scalable ways to improve how we communicate value.

• Partner with the CTO on long-term organizational and AI strategy, helping translate vision into executable systems.

We’d love to work with you if:

• You have 4+ years of experience in a consulting firm or similar strategy-focused role in tech or startups.

• You have an engineering degree or technical academic background (preferred), or equivalent experience that shows you can think analytically and work with data

• You’ve worked closely with C-level leaders, especially in product, tech, or operations.

• You’re comfortable working with data and ideally have familiarity with SQL, scripting, or no-code tools—or are eager to learn.

• You have a track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals.

• You have a natural interest in AI, LLMs, and how they can power business operations.

Mindset & Soft Skills

• Structured thinker with a systems mindset: you bring order to chaos.

• Curious & adaptable: you dive into unfamiliar topics and learn fast.

• Hands-on & pragmatic: you don’t just strategize—you execute.

• Analytical & resourceful: you can break down complex problems and find scrappy solutions.

• Strong communicator: you’re clear, concise, and effective with technical and executive audiences.

• Collaborative & humble: you work well across teams and don’t chase credit—you chase impact.
