CIRCL is a fast-moving startup with revenue-generating products already in the market — and we’re just getting started. We’ve secured capital, we’re growing fast, and we operate like a true early-stage team: small, sharp, and everyone contributes everywhere.
We’re looking for a Founder Associate who wants to get in early, learn faster than they ever imagined, and help build a company from the ground up.
This is not a narrow role — it’s the opposite. You’ll work directly with the CEO and the entire team, taking ownership across whatever matters most at the moment. One day you’re shaping product ideas with AI tools, the next you’re supporting customers, refining our sales deck, or helping define core business decisions.
If you thrive in chaos, love building, and want to grow 10x in 12 months, keep reading.
What You’ll Do
You’ll support across all areas of the company, including:
Build tools, workflows, prototypes, or product features using AI tools (ChatGPT/Codex, Claude Code, Gemini, etc.)
Support customer success, operations, and day-to-day problem solving
Assist with marketing, presentations, pitch materials, and research
Contribute to product ideas and strategic decisions
Work directly with the CEO and collaborate closely with the whole team
Jump into any challenge — big or small — and own it fully
Work directly with clients and partners, gaining early exposure to real business conversations
Participate in international travel for team offsites, client meetings, and events
This role is for someone who wants to learn by doing and is excited to wear many hats.
Who You Are
Early-career, ambitious, and eager to grow fast
Fluent English speaker
Have built something before using AI tools — a side project, automation, a small app, or even a fun hobby project
A fast learner with a can-do attitude
Structured, organized, and able to manage multiple tasks
Not afraid of challenges or doing things you’ve never done before
Passionate about AI and using it in your daily work
A generalist with curiosity, initiative, and resilience
You don’t need previous startup experience or a technical background — just proof that you build, learn, and iterate.
What We Offer
Compensation up to €2 000 / month + equity
Fully remote work (must overlap with CET)
Work directly with the founders in a high-trust, high-responsibility environment
Rapid growth opportunities — this role can evolve into product, operations, or leadership
Autonomy, ownership, and the chance to influence the direction of the company
Opportunities for international travel (offsites, meetings, industry events)
A culture focused on learning, speed, and building amazing things
Why Join Now?
You won’t just be an employee — you’ll be part of the core team that shapes CIRCL’s next stage of growth.
If you want to build fast, learn aggressively, and be at the center of a startup’s momentum, this is your chance.
