The listing
Who we are
Melotech is revolutionizing media and entertainment. We create art through technology for humans to enjoy. In just 24 months, our work has been heard, watched and loved for over 3 billion minutes worldwide.
Founded by entrepreneur and investor Soheil Mirpour, we are backed by top VCs Cherry Ventures, Speedinvest and GFC, alongside world-class angels from firms such as Spotify, Blackstone and KKR.
What you will do
Melotech is scaling fast, and we hire people who take full ownership from day one. As Founders Associate - AI & Product, you take charge of a complete revenue-generating product: the numbers, the roadmap, the execution. You are a technical generalist working directly alongside our founders, with AI woven through everything you do. On a typical day, your tasks may include:
Owning a revenue-generating product end to end, commercially and operationally, from day one
Building tools, automations and real products with AI, going from idea to production at lightspeed, with AI tools as your daily coworkers
Living in the data: running your own analysis, forming your own views, and deciding off the evidence
Moving across product, growth and operations, wherever the leverage is that week
Going deep and hard on any topic that moves the number, with the freedom to expand your scope as fast as you perform
Making bold calls that shape your product's trajectory and our company
Who you are
We're looking for a business mind who builds, or a builder with sharp commercial instincts. You've already proven you're exceptional somewhere, and now you want real ownership.
Typically, your profile will look like this:
AI-native for real: you build with AI tools every day and can point to at least one tool, automation or product you created yourself
You combine business and tech: a business background with a visible technical side (a serious bootcamp, a data science or CS conversion master's, shipped projects), or a technical degree (CS, math, engineering) paired with a commercial track record (product roles, consulting, an early startup stint)
Strong business sense: you think in revenue, unit economics and what actually moves the number
An exceptional track record: a top university, a top-tier firm or fund, or an early core role at a top-VC-backed startup where you progressed fast
Evidence of drive and curiosity: hackathons, tech and startup university societies, side projects, etc
You thrive in a fast-paced and performance-oriented environment
A big plus: founder DNA (you've started something before, even small, even failed), and you're internet-native. You know what's trending, what's breaking, and you're into music, media, gaming or social
What makes this exciting
You are one of the first people on a brand-new product, inside an ambitious team that is changing the world of media and entertainment. Being this early means every decision you make shapes its trajectory. You're not a cog in the machine but the captain of your own ship, rewarded for performance and respected for leadership. Flat hierarchies mean that your voice matters, your ideas get implemented, and your impact is immediate.
We pay competitive salaries and make you an owner of the business with equity. We work remotely to give you complete freedom over your life, while meeting regularly around the world for global off-sites where we strategize, bond, and push boundaries together.
