Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer | RNPL

Sanabil Studio is a venture builder that blends industry expertise, technology, and startup know-how to turn bold ideas into real businesses. We take concepts from zero to launch, and when a venture proves its potential, we back it with seed funding and hands-on support to help it scale. At Renti, we believe tenants shouldn't have to pay a full year of rent upfront to secure a home or workspace. We're building a rent financing platform that lets residential and commercial tenants spread their rent into manageable payments, while landlords are paid in full, upfront. We are looking for a Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer to own the entire technology stack and product experience for Renti and its real estate marketplace, from the underwriting engine that decides who gets approved and on what terms, through to the customer-facing journey that makes applying for and repaying rent financing simple and fast, across both residential and commercial tenants. You will be shaping strategy alongside the CEO, not just executing a roadmap handed to you. THE ROLE: What you'll own here. - Design and build the underwriting process: the credit, affordability, and risk models used to assess residential and commercial tenant applications and set financing terms. - Automate the end-to-end customer journey, from application and identity verification through disbursement, repayment, and collections. - Own product, UX, and UI: design and ship an intuitive tenant and landlord experience across web and mobile. - Build the core platform architecture and select the right build-versus-buy tradeoffs for payments, data, and infrastructure. - Stand up the technology team as the venture scales, from the first engineering hires through to a full product and engineering function. - Ensure the platform is secure, compliant, and auditable given the regulatory environment Renti operates in. - Partner closely with the CEO on fundraising, investor technical due diligence, and go-to-market sequencing. THE PROFILE: You're probably a fit if… - You have a strong technical background, with a track record of personally building and shipping products. - You have designed or implemented integrations with SIMAH and Nafath for underwriting, or built credit scoring and risk models, ideally in a lending or embedded finance context. - You have strong product sense and UX/UI instincts, comfortable owning design decisions rather than just engineering execution. - You have experience automating customer journeys and operational workflows, not just building features. - You are comfortable operating at zero-to-one: building lean, iterating fast, and doing the work personally before there is a team to delegate to. - You communicate clearly with the CEO, investors, and, as the team grows, the engineers you hire. - You are currently based in or willing to relocate to Saudi Arabia. Bonus: Prior experience building in fintech, proptech, or consumer lending. WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE: You're not building from zero, you're built to move fast. - Within the first quarter: have shipped v1 of the underwriting engine and the tenant and landlord application journey, live in the market rather than still in development. - Within the first quarter: have the platform processing real disbursements end-to-end at first scale. - On an ongoing basis: have the platform evolving continuously, shipping new capabilities (new financing products, tenant segments, or geographies) in step with Renti's commercial growth. - Within six months: have built and be leading a founding engineering team beyond yourself. - Within the first year: be operating a platform that is secure, compliant, and auditable at meaningfully higher transaction volume. - Be recognized by the studio and the CEO as a founder who ships fast at day one and keeps shipping, rather than over-engineering before proving the model.

Note: The posting emphasizes the need for a strong technical background, hands-on product building, experience in lending/embedded finance, integrations with SIMAH and Nafath, product and UX ownership, and zero-to-one execution. It does not list a distinct, bulleted Eligibility/Requirements section with codified items, but the following hard criteria can be inferred: 1) Proven track record of personally building and shipping products; 2) Experience designing or implementing integrations with SIMAH and Nafath for underwriting or building credit/risk models in lending/embedded finance; 3) Ability to own product UX/UI decisions and automate customer journeys; 4) Willingness to operate in zero-to-one stage, shipping with minimal team; 5) Based in or willing to relocate to Saudi Arabia.
