Role overview

This is a Chief Technology Officer position for the UK market at a company building enterprise AI agents that operate across voice, chat, email, and back-office systems. You’ll be both a strategic technical leader and hands-on engineer, responsible for establishing the company’s technical presence, building the regional engineering team, and driving customer success from initial conversations through production deployment.

Key responsibilities

Lead technical components of early-stage sales conversations, deliver product demonstrations, and guide discussions on architecture and security with prospective customers.
Write and ship production code yourself while building integrations and setting quality standards for the team.
Build and manage a high-performing technical team spanning engineering, integration, and pre-sales functions.
Own customer integration projects from initial scoping through deployment of AI agents, ensuring production systems meet accuracy requirements.
Gather customer feedback, adapt the product for the UK market, and communicate regional requirements back to the global product organization.
Serve as the primary technical contact for customers, establish partnerships, and resolve escalations.

Requirements

Seven to eight or more years of hands-on software engineering experience with a proven track record of shipping products.
Demonstrated experience in pre-sales, solution architecture, or managing complex technical implementations.
Customer-facing background in roles such as Field CTO, Solutions Architect, or Deployed Engineer, with ability to communicate effectively with both technical and business stakeholders.
Strong leadership background, ideally at Director, VP, or Founder level.
Fluent English (both written and spoken) and fluency in at least one additional local language.
Comfort working independently in early-stage environments where you build strategy, assemble teams, and establish systems from the ground up.

What makes this role worth considering

This is a zero-to-one opportunity to establish a new regional technical organization for a company working on advanced AI technology. You’ll have significant autonomy to shape the UK operation while remaining connected to a global team, and you’ll work in an environment that values ownership and execution over hierarchy.
