FoulGuardAI is building an AI-powered early detection platform for biofouling in water treatment systems – including seawater desalination, wastewater, and industrial RO plants. We integrate sensor data, predictive analytics, and machine learning to reduce downtime, optimize cleaning, and extend membrane lifespan. With strong interest from a major utility company and pilot testing on the horizon, we’re looking for a mission-driven AI expert to join us as a co-founder.
What We’re Looking For:
We’re seeking a passionate and technically brilliant AI/ML co-founder who’s ready to build impactful solutions in water tech. This role is ideal for someone excited by early-stage challenges, the opportunity to shape the product from the ground up, and who thrives in a high-ownership, purpose-driven environment.
Your Role:
1. Build models using time-series sensor data (flow, pressure, turbidity, etc.)
2. Work closely with data scientists, engineers, and water experts
3. Contribute to technical architecture, roadmap, and investor discussions
You Bring:
1. Expertise in Python, scikit-learn, TensorFlow/PyTorch
2. Experience with time-series data and anomaly detection
3. Familiarity with real-time data pipelines (e.g., MQTT, InfluxDB, Grafana)
4. Startup mindset: proactive, experimental, resilient
5. Bonus: experience in IoT, water treatment, or environmental monitoring
Why Join Us:
1. Equity-based co-founder role, transitioning to a paid position after funding
2. Backed by the University of Manchester’s Venture Builder & Conception X
3. Strong traction: interest from a major utility company (pilot pending LOI)
4. Opportunity to help solve a critical global challenge in water sustainability
