Salary: £100,000 - 150,000 per year Requirements: I am looking for candidates with 10 years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, and enterprise system design. I require a deep understanding of cloud infrastructure, observability, and secure architecture. I seek professionals who can communicate credibly with investors, clients, and partner CTOs. The ideal candidate should be calm, structured, and experienced in scaling both systems and teams. A process-driven mindset and strong people leadership skills are essential. Preference will be given to candidates located in the UK or EU time zones, with a London base being ideal. Responsibilities: I expect you to build and implement security, compliance, and governance frameworks, including data privacy, auditability, and access controls. You will oversee DevOps, infrastructure, deployment tooling, and automated release cycles. Defining protocols for change management, testing environments, and platform documentation will be a key responsibility. You will lead the development of a resilient, modular, and observable system architecture. Ensuring that our infrastructure can support open-source and enterprise deployments across cloud and hybrid environments is vital. I need you to translate R&D breakthroughs into scalable, production-ready systems. You will build and lead a high-performance engineering team across the UK and offshore locations. Establishing repeatable delivery frameworks, sprint cadence, and technical quality controls will be expected. Fostering a culture of clean code, knowledge sharing, and technical excellence is essential. Technologies: AI Cloud CTO DevOps Support Security Embedded More: We are building the next frontier of AI platforms with an advanced, AI-native system that redefines how businesses interact with software. Our platform dynamically builds, heals, and orchestrates itself, creating a new kind of productivity layer where AI employees, applications, and automations operate seamlessly from a single interface. Founded by an experienced team now entering the early enterprise POC phase, we are pre-revenue but have a clear path to scale and a long-term vision to transform how people, data, and machines collaborate. As the CTO, you will lead governance, infrastructure, and platform scalability, ensuring that our platform is credible to large clients, scalable across geographies, and robust in its security, compliance, and system design. Your success will be measured by the establishment of a secure, compliant, and scalable platform across multiple enterprise environments, the robustness of DevOps, testing, and documentation workflows, and maintaining strong technical confidence among investors, clients, and internal stakeholders. In terms of compensation, we offer a base salary of approximately £150,000, pro-rated during the fractional phase, along with founder-level LTIP (equity options), a full benefits package, and the opportunity to shape a category-defining company from the inside. last updated 5 week of 2026
