Candence AI
is Hiring a
Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
For 2,000 years, God has taken the tools of each generation and transformed them into vessels of His truth.

Paul's letters traveled Roman roads. The printing press spread the fire of the Reformation. Radio waves carried the gospel to distant lands. Time and again, God has raised up builders who understood this truth: when tools are consecrated for His purposes, they become channels of His love, grace, and power.

We stand at another pivotal moment.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is this generation's most consequential technological advancement—a tool that will either distort spiritual truth or illuminate it with unprecedented clarity.

The question is no longer whether the Church will engage with AI, but who will shape it with unwavering spiritual conviction and technical excellence.

With a lean team of four, we've developed the Candence infrastructure from a raw idea to a functional MVP in just six months, demonstrating breakthrough capabilities in three key missional applications (details shared under NDA).

Now, we're seeking a CTO who embraces this calling as deeply as we do—a leader with:

• Full-Stack Web Developer (2+ years)

Expertise in AI-powered conversational interfaces, with hands-on experience in:

• NLP concepts and frontier model APIs (e.g., GPT)

• Scalable, secure cloud deployment

• Skilled in React/Vue (frontend) and Node/TypeScript (backend).

You'll build entire features—from database design to polished UI—using modern best practices for speed, security, and developer experience.

• Proven leadership in scaling 0→1 products

• Spiritual maturity—a track record of stewarding technology for God's Kingdom

In return, we offer meaningful equity, a clear path to competitive compensation, and the opportunity to build something that challenges the status quo.
