Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer
🧑🚀 Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer (CAIO) — Founding Role at Psyntient
📍 Remote | 💼 Equity Role | 🕰️ Start: July 2025
🌐 psyntient.io | 📩 [email protected]
Psyntient is a psychedelic technology company developing immersive infrastructure, biometric interfaces, and AI layers that will define the future of human transformation.
Our website is in progress and MVP underway. We’ve received early interest from Initio Capital and were invited to explore NVIDIA’s Inception program, their ecosystem for frontier startups with access to technical tools, partners, and VC networks via Inception Capital Connect.
🚀 Our Mission
We’re here to evolve the psychedelic experience — across clinical, retreat, and extended-state contexts — by building systems that quantify, guide, and enhance altered states. Our tools help users and facilitators prepare for, navigate, and integrate deep experiences using biometric feedback, immersive design, and AI-powered reflection.
🧩 What We’re Building
Psychedelics today lack intelligent infrastructure. Our platform bridges that gap through:
-A shared backend + modular front-ends for different users: individuals, retreat centers, therapists, researchers.
-Real-time biometric input + AI response to personalize and interpret experience.
-VR/XR immersion for emotional insight, narrative replay, and symbolic navigation.
-A reflective SaaS journal for integration, coaching, and long-term emotional growth.
We're launching with:
🔹 Psyntient Ground
-A biometric meditative experience and feedback platform for Meta Quest 3. Psyntient Ground supports:
-At-home users seeking self-inquiry, emotional regulation, and spiritual training.
-Retreats and clinics using it for psychedelic preparation and integration.
🧠 Why It Matters
Our AI systems will enable emotional and perceptual replay of sessions — allowing breakthroughs to be remembered, reflected on, and translated into insights. These moments become narrative maps, symbolic visuals, and integration prompts, stored securely in the user’s journal and tracked across multiple sessions.
This infrastructure empowers both users and facilitators to understand, communicate, and grow from the psychedelic journey — long after the session ends.
🔮 At a Deeper Level
We believe psychedelics reveal structured, symbolic, and multi-dimensional realities — with their own laws, geometries, and languages. We're building tools that map these spaces using data from biometric signals, cognitive patterns, and shared archetypes.
Our goal: a living hyperspace manual that evolves across users, refined by experience and anchored in meaning. We draw from quantum cognition, mathematics, neuroscience, and AI to bring coherence to the ineffable — ethically and intelligently.
🕊️ Our Ecosystem: Sanctum Lux
We’re building all core technology for Sanctum Lux, a spiritual organization founded by our CEO and designed as our flagship user.
This gives us a unique feedback loop to build, test, and refine tools for:
-Quantifying extended-state journeys
-Enhancing ceremonies with immersion + AI support
-Creating adaptive, intelligent feedback systems
This real-world partnership supports rapid iteration, aligned product-market fit, and ethical design in a category-defining field: psychedelic intelligence systems.
🔭 The Role: Founding Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer (CAIO)
This is the second most important role at the company. AI here is not an internal tool — it is the connective tissue between inner space and outer architecture, between ineffable states and structured insight.
You’ll architect our real-time AI systems, build multi-agent intelligence layers, and guide the platform’s ability to listen, interpret, and support the most profound experiences humans can have.
🧠 Responsibilities
1. Architect the Soul of Our AI Ecosystem
Design a system of co-functioning AI agents — including a biometric translator, language interpreter, therapeutic guide, and realm-rendering engine. These will interface directly with participant states, guiding and responding in real-time.
2. Develop Biometric & Sensory Translation Systems
Build models that interpret EEG, heart rate, GSR, and other inputs — transforming them into feedback, visuals, or insights during sessions.
3. Build Reflective Memory + Replay Systems
Create LLM-based infrastructure that can narrate experiences back to participants — during and after — using symbolic storytelling, visuals, and therapeutic prompts.
4. Co-Design Psyntient Ground
Collaborate with the Founder and Chief Immersive Officer to shape and evolve Ground — embedding scalable AI components from v1 forward.
5. Lead Ritual-Aware AI Ethics
Establish data protocols, consent models, and behavioral boundaries for AI in sacred and therapeutic contexts. Pioneer a respectful new category of spiritual AI.
6. Build and Lead a World-Class Team
Recruit and mentor top talent in AI, ML, and neuroadaptive systems — aligned to our mission and unafraid to explore new territory.
7. Shape the Language of the Unknown
Design systems that help users articulate altered states. Your work will seed the first shared language of hyperspace, emotional terrain, and psychedelic insight.
🎯 Who We’re Looking For
We’re seeking someone rare: a technologist who sees AI not just as logic, but as a mirror of consciousness. Someone who wants to build systems of integrity and soul in sacred, emotionally sensitive spaces.
You may be a fit if:
-You've built or led AI systems: LLMs, multi-agent models, real-time decision engines, or symbolic architectures.
-You’ve worked with biometric data: EEG, BCI, heart-rate variability, emotional state modeling, or neuroadaptive systems.
-You understand immersive interface design (even if not hands-on in Unity/Unreal).
-You bring architectural clarity: modular thinking, long-term vision, and scalable structure.
-You’ve designed ethical or therapeutic AI systems before.
-You’ve led early-stage or experimental teams with visionary goals.
-You’re fascinated by altered states, language, healing, and the human mind.
-You communicate across research, code, and story with fluency.
We don’t expect perfection — we expect courage, curiosity, and a willingness to grow in public.
🌟 Who You’ll Join
William Coburn, Founder & CEO — architect of consciousness technologies and founder of Sanctum Lux.
Muhammad Asim, Partner & Chief Immersive Officer — a VR/game developer with over 110M+ downloads, leading visual and spatial design.
You’ll complete the founding triad, working closely with our upcoming CMO and other visionary partners.
🪙 What We Offer
-Founding equity, with vesting based on contribution and alignment.
-Volunteer to start, transitioning to paid leadership as funding/revenue allows.
-Mission-aligned comp structure — phased salary, equity acceleration, and bonus options.
-A rare opportunity to co-create technology for spiritual, emotional, and scientific transformation.
💡 Post-Funding Benefits
We believe in building for the full human experience — including family, rest, inner growth, and care. Our benefits will reflect this philosophy as we scale.
🎯 Are You Ready to Lead AI for Inner Space?
Help us build sacred systems that support awakening, not surveillance — and guide the evolution of inner technology for generations to come.
