Drinova
Chief Technology Officer (CTO) — Drinova
Increase your chances of reaching the interview stage by reading the complete job description and applying promptly. Overview Location:
Flexible (Boston, MA preferred / Remote with US or India overlap)
Type:
Full-time | Early stage level equity
Drinova is building the
nervous system of global manufacturing . Today, OEMs only see their Tier 1 suppliers—everything beyond is a black box. Supplier claims are trapped in PDFs and spreadsheets that can be manipulated, leading to blind spots, counterfeit risks, and billion-dollar failures.
Drinova solves this by creating a
supply chain provenance layer : a living intelligence system that verifies supplier claims, connects multi-tier visibility, and detects anomalies in real-time. Think of it as the
Exosphere of manufacturing intelligence —a platform where every part of the supply chain leaves a verifiable memory.
We are backed by early interest from leading OEMs, defense agencies, and accelerators.
Role Overview As
CTO at Drinova , you will lead technology strategy, architecture, and execution across provenance data systems, AI agents, and multi-tier supplier platforms. You’ll partner with the CEO and founding team to shape Drinova into the global standard for supply chain trust.
This is not a “management-only” role. We’re looking for a hands-on technical leader who can build, scale, and evangelize.
Responsibilities
Architecture & Roadmap:
Define and own Drinova’s technology vision—provenance graphs, validation agents, Exosphere intelligence layer.
Product Development:
Lead design & build of scalable systems for multi-tier supply chain data capture, anomaly detection, and validation workflows.
AI Systems Integration:
Drive use of LLMs, graph databases, and agentic architectures with integration across ERP, PLM, and quality systems.
Team Building:
Hire, mentor, and lead a world-class engineering team across US/India.
Customer Engagement:
Translate customer/industry needs (OEMs, defense, semiconductors) into product features.
Security & Compliance:
Ensure platform is robust, secure, and enterprise-ready (ISO, ITAR, GDPR).
Qualifications
Proven track record as
CTO, Head of Engineering, or Principal Architect
in SaaS / AI / manufacturing-tech.
Deep knowledge of
AI/ML (LLMs, LangChain, agents, graph DBs)
and
enterprise software systems
(ERP/PLM/MES).
Experience working with
manufacturing, defense, or supply chain ecosystems
is a huge plus.
Ability to thrive in
early-stage chaos : build prototypes fast, scale thoughtfully.
Comfortable balancing
code leadership
(you’ll be writing code in v1, scaling teams in v2).
Entrepreneurial mindset: sees Drinova as a mission, not just a job.
Benefits & Why Join
Shape the
future of manufacturing trust & provenance .
Work alongside a founder with deep experience in
semiconductor capital equipment and global supply chains .
Co-founder equity stake competitive compensation.
Opportunity to set global standards in supply chain transparency, resilience, and defense-grade AI.
