CTO

• Defining technology and engineering strategy
• Leading Agile and DevOps transformation
• Supporting cloud migration towards AWS
• Driving AI capability across products and engineering
• Modernising tooling, processes, and architecture
• Leading and mentoring engineering teams
• Working closely with the senior leadership and investors

What we’re looking for

• Strong software engineering background
• Experience leading technical teams in SaaS or software businesses
• Ability to modernise engineering functions and delivery practices
• Strong architectural understanding
• Commercial awareness and stakeholder management skills
• Experience with AI, DevOps, or cloud modernisation highly beneficial
