Co-founder & CTO – Moir-Ai Project

About Moir-Ai

Moir-Ai is an emerging healthtech/deeptech startup at the intersection of artificial intelligence, data science, biology, and pharmaceutical development.

Our ambition: to revolutionize the translational phase of drug development by making it more reliable, faster, and more efficient through a AI-driven multi-objective optimization platform.

The transition from preclinical to clinical stages is the critical breaking point in drug development, with failure rates exceeding 50%. This “translational bottleneck” has major ethical and economic consequences for the pharmaceutical industry. Moir-Ai is a disruptive project that moves away from traditional approaches relying on animal experimentation and costly trial-and-error methods.

In practice, Moir-Ai empowers pharmaceutical, biotech, and academic stakeholders to make better strategic decisions by predicting, as early as the preclinical stage, the likelihood of clinical success for their drug candidates. By integrating multimodal data from preclinical and clinical sources, the platform helps identify the most promising leads, reduce animal testing, and accelerate patient access to safe and effective treatments.

The project is led by Aurélie Olivier, who brings together a dual scientific (PhD) and business (Global Executive MBA) background, with over 15 years of expertise in translational medicine and biotech strategy, now serving as founding CEO. Moir-Ai is entering a pivotal phase: building its founding team. We are looking for a Co-founder & CTO with strong expertise in AI/Machine Learning/Deep Learning to partner with the CEO in shaping the technical, organizational, and operational vision of the company, and to co-develop a Proof-of-Concept in oncology as the first strategic milestone.

Joining Moir-Ai now means seizing the unique opportunity to play a defining role, leaving a strong technological footprint from the very beginning, and embarking on an ambitious AI-driven deeptech journey in healthcare. The project is set to join a leading incubation program to secure strategic, technical, and financial support, with the mission of building a platform with meaningful scientific, ethical, and societal impact.

Role of Co-founder & CTO – Key missions

As Co-founder & CTO, you will be at the core of Moir-Ai’s AI-driven translational platform, steering the technical and operational vision and translating our ambition into tangible solutions.

Your main responsibilities will include:

- Defining and leading Moir-Ai’s AI/ML strategy (multi-objective models, explainable AI).

- Designing and developing the first oncology Proof-of-Concept pipelines (data collection, curation, integration, and multimodal modeling).

- Setting up the technical and operational environment: stack selection, cloud/server infrastructure management, security and compliance (GDPR, health data).

- Working closely with the CEO on the business roadmap, scientific and data partnerships, and intellectual property strategy.

- Representing Moir-Ai’s tech vision at incubator workshops, consortiums, and international conferences.

- Building and leading the technical team (recruitment and management of AI/data talent).

- Contributing to fundraising efforts and securing public funding (BPI, European programs, seed…).

Conditions & outlook:

- Status: Co-founder & corporate officer.

- Compensation: significant equity participation from inception, reflecting your commitment and entrepreneurial risk. No immediate salary; remuneration planned post-seed funding.

- Location: France or remote within the EU.

- Work environment: flexible, collaborative, and innovation-driven, designed to foster both entrepreneurial and personal growth.

- Timeline: the startup will be incorporated within a few months, after structuring the founding team and incubation.
