Hi, I’m Alexander Torrenegra, CEO of Torre. I am also a tech investor in Shark Tank Colombia and Shark Tank Mexico. Not surprisingly, I love working with entrepreneurs. That's why we have an Entrepreneur in Residence program at Torre, similar to an internship (four months), but for experienced entrepreneurs to engage in several short, entrepreneurial projects within our organization. You'll work closely with my team and me and learn about our entrepreneurial tactics. And, who knows? We may end up working together afterward.
This is a remote opportunity from anywhere.
WHAT'S TORRE?
At Torre.ai, we're automating recruitment and job hunting with super-intelligent AI. Torre is becoming the AI talent agent for millions of professionals. Our end goal is to build THE global job network and deliver real-time liquidity of jobs and candidates. Always free. Always open.
Our seed round was $22M, of which I contributed $11M. Other investors included early investors and executives from Apple, Amazon, Meta, SpaceX, and TikTok.

Once we meet, I’ll share more information with you.
WHY THE OPENING?
I love working with entrepreneurs, and we have many unique, short-term projects that are more likely to succeed if an entrepreneurial generalist tackles them. The scope can be anything from marketing to sales to product development to engineering to business development to research, etc. Expect to be challenged with a variety of topics. Your ability to learn and get shit done is paramount.
Additionally, this four-month experience may lead to a longer-term agreement.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:
You'll be responsible for getting shit done. The projects you'll work on are to be defined, but these are examples of projects performed by previous entrepreneurs-in-residence at Torre.
- Prototype a new AI business line, including pretending to be the AI (artificial-artificial intelligence)
- Identify and test new market segments for us to go after
- Experiment with an innovative growth hack
- Run new branding efforts, such as webinars or social media reels that go viral
- Design the SOPs for a new process
- Identify the best vendor to solve a given challenge
Etc.
THE TEAM:
You’ll report directly to me, the CEO. You’ll work closely with many other Torrex depending on the project you're tackling at any given time.
OUR WORK CULTURE:
Most members of our senior team have been entrepreneurs. As such, you’ll be surrounded by a group of passionate, hard-working, smart-working, tell-it-like-it-is, no-drama professionals. As your leader, you’ll find me uniquely persistent, confrontational, ambitious, a perfectionist, and honest. You can learn more about my expectations of you as my colleague & co-worker: https://torrenegra.medium.com/my-expectations-as-your-coworker-bb1881923164.
We apply the scientific method to almost everything we do: ideate, hypothesize, experiment, analyze, and repeat. We use this framework for product and marketing experiments (and even sales experiments): https://torrenegra.medium.com/experimento-a-practical-product-management-framework-f533648d74b6.
We are remote and agile. Among others, we hold daily stand-up meetings packed with information: https://torrenegra.medium.com/estandap-highly-efficient-daily-meetings-for-agile-and-remote-teams-a035edef0be2.
And we’re data-driven. For example, this is how we determine our top client acquisition channels: https://torrenegra.medium.com/canales-a-framework-for-identifying-all-client-acquisition-channels-d0eb1addced3.
