Occupation
Founder
A Founder is the individual who conceives of and establishes a company, typically driving early-stage business strategy, product development, and fundraising to get the venture off the ground. Founders wear many hats in the beginning, combining hands-on leadership with networking to attract investors, customers, and early talent. This role is common among entrepreneurs and is often followed by hiring executives such as a CEO or COO as the company scales.

Instructure
Full-time · US-REMOTE
This is a hands-on founder role within Instructure's new AI-focused division, where you'll validate a business problem, build and launch a product, and drive it to paying customers—all as a two-person team with company backing but without the burden of raising capital. It suits someone who wants the full founder experience (product, sales, P&L) but prefers to move fast, stay lean, and prove traction in weeks rather than quarters.
