About ChainGPT

ChainGPT is a fast-moving Web3 and AI company building products at the intersection of blockchain infrastructure, token ecosystems, and intelligent automation. We value speed, ownership, clarity, and high standards. Our team is made up of self-driven operators who move fast, think independently, and use cutting-edge tools to create real commercial impact.

We foster a transparent, collaborative, and high-performance culture where strong ideas win, autonomy is expected, and execution matters.

We're building Brain by AIVM, a platform that makes enterprise AI verifiable, governed, and genuinely trustworthy.

We're a small, fast-moving team working at the frontier of AI, governance, and enterprise trust. At this stage, a sharp AI-native marketer can have an outsized impact on how the world sees us.

About the Role

We're looking for an exceptional early-career engineer who has grown up building with AI.

You may be fresh out of university, still studying, or entirely self-taught. What matters most is raw ability, curiosity, strong technical instincts, and a genuine obsession with modern AI tooling.

This is a high-growth role for someone who wants to learn how a company is built from the inside while contributing to real product work from day one. You'll work closely with the founders and senior engineers, build real features and prototypes, and learn how to use AI agents to move faster than traditional teams.

What You'll Do

• Build real features, prototypes, and demos using tools like Codex, Claude Code, and modern AI coding agents.
• Turn ideas into working demos quickly, then help make them more reliable, scalable, and production-ready.
• Learn how to direct, evaluate, and control AI coding agents to multiply engineering output.
• Work closely with founders and senior engineers across product, engineering, and strategy.
• Explore new AI development workflows and help the team move faster.
• Contribute to a fast-moving product where experimentation, speed, and quality all matter.

What We're Looking For

• You build with AI tools regularly and can show us what you've made.
• You have examples of projects, repos, demos, prototypes, or technical experiments.
• You're excited about tools like Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, AI agents, and agentic development workflows.
• You learn by building and ship constantly.
• You have strong technical curiosity and are willing to figure things out independently.
• You care more about output and learning speed than titles or credentials.
• You're comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with real responsibility.

Bonus Points

• You've created content, demos, or tutorials around AI or software development.
• You've tried to start something of your own.
• You have a side project you're deeply interested in.
• You've experimented with AI agents, coding workflows, automations, or developer tools.
• You're interested in AI infrastructure, enterprise AI, governance, or agentic systems.

Why Join Us

• Front-row seat: Learn how a company is built directly from founders and senior engineers.
• Real responsibility: You'll work on meaningful projects, not just small tasks.
• Strong mentorship: You'll be supported while being pushed to grow quickly.
• Frontier work: Build in one of the most exciting categories in tech right now.
• Output-first culture: We care about what you can build, learn, and ship.

What We Offer

• Work alongside the ChainGPT core team on high-impact AI and Web3 products across our ecosystem.
• Remote-first setup with flexible hours, focused on outcomes, trust, and ownership.
• Competitive compensation, with performance-based upside where applicable to the role.
• Fast-moving environment with direct collaboration across all team members, including senior management, and clear accountability with no micromanagement.
• The support to do your best work, including the tools you need, structured onboarding, and clear room to grow.
