This is a CTO role for someone entrepreneurial who has already played a meaningful role in building a business and is ready to do it again. You’ll be accountable for engineering execution. This is not a strategy role that shapes work from a distance. Your responsibility is to turn priorities into shipped outcomes: to understand what’s being asked, question it until it makes sense, estimate it honestly, and build an engineering system that delivers without surprises. You’ll stay close enough to the work to set a credible bar for pace and quality. That means recognising what high performance looks like because you’ve operated at that level yourself, understanding when something is genuinely complex versus unnecessarily slow, and raising standards in a way the team can follow and respect. You’ll build a team culture that uses AI as a default way of working to increase output every day. Quality matters just as much. Shipping the wrong thing, shipping something with obvious edge cases, or missing basic failure modes is not acceptable to you. When things break, they’re fixed quickly, learned from properly, and prevented from happening again. Today, the team is six engineers. You’ll work closely with them, set a bar of expectation, and continue to build the team deliberately as the product grows.
