Why this grade This listing scored 70/100, which is a B. It lost the most ground on pay transparency. See the breakdown
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Remote clarity 15 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →
hn-hiring
preferred)| Fundraising | Salary/equity to be agreed
I'm Chris, founder of GIH. We're building an AI operating platform for established service businesses, starting with UK accountancy. Our model is to acquire businesses and deploy the software into their daily workflows, measuring its effect on time, quality and cost.
We've built version 1 of Helix, connecting accounting workflows, AI assistance, source evidence and review controls. It covers work including reconciliation, payroll, VAT and debtors. The next challenge is deployment in an operating practice, including production integrations, security and independent validation.
I'm looking for a hands-on CTO to own architecture and engineering delivery, write code, work with accountants and build the technical team. You should have shipped and operated customer-facing software, be comfortable with APIs and data systems, and have practical experience evaluating LLM/agent workflows. Previous CTO experience isn't essential; evidence of building and owning a product is.
We're currently fundraising and expect the round to close at the end of November 2026. You can join when the round closes or start earlier, depending on your availability and preference. Salary, equity and any arrangements before the round closes will be agreed directly. This is intended as a full-time technical leadership role.
Email [email protected] with “HN CTO” in the subject, your CV/LinkedIn, something you built, your location and preferred start date.
