Founding CTO

About Us

Ama is building the agentic operating system for environmental due diligence: the AI layer that automates the environmental, regulatory and land diligence required to get real things built.

Starting with environmental reporting, consulting firms leverage our agents to help deliver their Phase I/II ESAs faster and to a higher standard. We are a venture-backed, high-growth startup modernizing a $30B\+ industry, and we are just getting started.

Come work with a purpose. Join us in creating world-class technology to help infrastructure \& environmental professionals today and help society better understand the physical world \& ecosystems tomorrow.

Role Description

We are hiring our Founding CTO to be the primary builder of the Ama operating system and to own the technical function from day one. The CEO sets the roadmap; you own execution end-to-end, from architecture to shipped product, and you build the engineering team as we scale. You will architect the agentic platform that turns physical-world compliance from manual diligence into automated, defensible output, starting with environmental reporting.
