Job Description: Job Title: Chief Technology Officer (CTO) – AI & GPU Infrastructure
Location: UK or Dubai preferred | Global scope | Travel required
Company: Confidential | Backed by Experienced Founders
We’re supporting the build of a highly technical, globally-minded startup operating at the intersection of large-scale compute and AI infrastructure.
They’re looking for a founding-level CTO to help design, scale, and lead the technical direction of a platform reliant on GPU-accelerated workloads and highly-performant distributed systems. The company has secured early backing, has real commercial traction, and is entering a build phase that requires hands-on leadership.
This is a greenfield opportunity for someone who wants to architect and own the next evolution of compute infrastructure—far from corporate, built from the ground up.
What You’ll Be Doing
Leading the design and deployment of GPU-intensive compute infrastructure from scratch
Building scalable systems that support complex real-time or AI-driven workloads
Making foundational choices around architecture, hardware, and infrastructure
Acting as the senior technical leader and key decision-maker from day one
Hiring and mentoring a global engineering team as the company scales
Working closely with founding leadership on product and delivery milestones
Travelling as required to key infrastructure sites (global)
What You’ll Need
6+ years of engineering experience, ideally with exposure to high-throughput systems
Practical experience with GPU clusters, accelerator hardware, or HPC environments
A track record of building infrastructure for AI, simulation, or compute-heavy applications
Comfortable navigating ambiguity and scaling teams in fast-moving environments
Strong commercial instincts, even in a highly technical role
Able to balance build-fast scrappiness with long-term reliability and performance
What’s on Offer
A founding seat at the table with generous equity
Autonomy to shape the infrastructure, team, and tech stack from day one
Support from founders who deeply understand product and growth
Real-world application – this isn’t research, this is impact
A genuinely global mission with significant growth ahead
Note: This is a confidential search. No company details will be disclosed until later stages.
We’re looking for a hands-on CTO with a love for performance, systems thinking, and long-term technical ownership.
