Job Description
Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
Autonomous Robotics / Deep-Tech Scale-Up
Company and Goals
We are working with a seed-stage deep-tech company building a real-world autonomous robotics platform spanning hardware, robotics, embedded systems, autonomy, and cloud software.
The business has a strong technical founding team, high talent density, and a clear ambition.
This is deep-tech with real constraints, real impact, and real ambition. The goal is bold: build a category-defining company and scale it to unicorn level within the next few years.
They are now looking to appoint a CTO to lead the next phase of scale.
The Role
The founders are actively seeking a senior technical leader to:
* Own and evolve the technical vision
* Introduce structure and management as the company scales
* Lead and grow a high-performance engineering team (currently ~10–12)
* Identify blind spots and guide the business through growth and fundraising
* Remain hands-on where needed in a fast-moving environment
Who They’re Looking For:
* Proven experience leading engineering teams
* Has seen (or worked closely with) scaling from early stage
* Thrives in high-pace, imperfect startup environments
* Technically credible and respected by strong engineers
* Excellent communicator with strong systems-level thinking
* Highly ambitious and motivated to build something exceptional
Technical Scope:
The CTO must be an expert in at least one area, with the breadth to lead across the full system:
* Robotics & autonomous systems
* Hardware & embedded systems
* Geospatial systems
* Agentic AI / autonomy
* Battery & power systems
* Supply chain & systems engineering
They offer generous equity options as they really are trying to grow rapidly and have goals of becoming a unicorn in the next 3-5 years.
If you’re excited by real-world autonomy, deep-tech systems, and scaling something ambitious from the ground up, I’d love to speak. Feel free to apply here or email a.eve@strativgroup.com.
