Intrapreneur Group | Causal Architect

Company: Ipvive, Inc.

Technology: With over 35 years of applied hyperbolic 3-manifold topology research and development, Ipvive is the only team in the world capable of designing and developing the Causal Geometric AI Engine | Understanding Complexity in an Uncertain Future.

Concept Through Market Development: Ipvive has a track record of divergent thinking and of executing new market development initiatives with deep cultural understanding through relationships in Japan, ASEAN, Silicon Valley, and Seattle.

Job Description: The Causal Architect is a generalist who learns to create next-generation market solutions through relational intelligence. This is not a traditional data science role. As a foundational member of the Intrapreneur Group, you are a hybrid of a deep technical expert, a strategic consultant, and a co-founder for our joint venture initiatives. You will be the primary technical mind responsible for deploying our revolutionary Agentic Geometric AI engine to solve the most critical and complex challenges for our Tier 1 strategic partners.

This role is for the highly curious, the individual who has the character and skills to get extremely complex and detailed projects done with little resource and little directional detail. If active learning and tackling open-ended, creative challenges is preferred over being told what to do, this is the right opportunity.

Reports to: The CEO, Head of Technology and Nathaniel Thurston directly

Compensation: Based primarily on applicant aptitude and attitude, financial compensation is highly competitive in this sector of the technology market.

Growth Opportunities: Value creators deserve to share in that upside. Roles, responsibilities, and rewards grow with the apprentice’s skills and character. If the individual wants to apply their new capabilities elsewhere, the higher order thinking and feeling acquired through this active learning apprenticeship prepares them to be an entrepreneur or to attain a higher level job at any company better than any classroom program.

We value character and skills over a traditional resume:

• A Passion for Hard Problems: You are energized by complexity and see “intractable” problems as an invitation to innovate. You are comfortable operating at the frontier of what is known.
• First-Principles Thinking: You are obsessed with the “why” and are not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom to find the right answer. You have a deep-seated curiosity that drives you to understand systems at their most fundamental level.
• High Velocity & Agency: You are a builder and a doer. You thrive in a high-speed environment and have a bias for action, taking ownership of a project from start to finish.
• Independent & Adaptable: You are a self-starter who can navigate ambiguity and does not require direct guidance or authority to make progress.
• Smart & Quick: You grasp and implement unfamiliar abstract concepts quickly, especially in areas like Geometric Deep Learning (GNNs), Causal Inference, or Reinforcement Learning.
• Strategic Acumen: You can translate deep technical concepts into compelling business value for a C-suite audience. You understand that the goal is not just a model, but a market-making solution.
• Team Player: You are able to collaborate with humor, humility, enthusiasm, and resilience, believing the best ideas are forged in open debate.
• Global Mindset: This role requires significant collaboration with our partners and customers in Japan, the US, and future expansion into other regions like ASEAN.
