We offer the convenience of remote work, allowing you to craft a work-life balance that suits your personal and professional needs.

We're looking for candidates who are passionate about technology, proficient in English, and excited to engage in remote collaboration for a worldwide presence.

About the Role

We are looking for a visionary Deputy CTO with deep experience transforming engineering processes through the strategic use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader who has successfully guided development teams toward higher velocity, quality, and operational excellence by introducing and optimizing AI-powered practices.

In this role, you will help us refine, elevate, and scale our existing engineering processes, strengthening the connection between architectural governance, team growth, and customer-facing technical leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Accelerate SDLC : Lead the adoption of Generative AI tools and coding assistants to reduce cycle times and eliminate repetitive engineering tasks drastically.
• Measure Impact : Define and track KPIs related to AI adoption (e.g., velocity increase, code quality metrics, reduction in technical debt) to prove ROI.
• AI Governance & Ethics : Establish a secure framework for using AI tools within the company, ensuring strict adherence to data privacy, IP protection, and security compliance standards.
• Architectural Oversight : Design and oversee the roadmap for complex, scalable platforms, ensuring they are built for resilience and future growth.
• Tech Stack Modernization : Continuously evaluate and optimize our infrastructure and cloud strategy to support high-performance AI integration.
• Mentorship : Provide high-level technical guidance to Principal Engineers and Architects, resolving complex blockers and fostering technical excellence.
• Team Building : Build and structure high-performing engineering teams from the ground up, optimizing for agility and cross-functional collaboration.
• Process Optimization : Implement "AI-native" workflows that redefine how we hire, onboard, and manage engineering talent for maximum output.
• Culture of Innovation : Foster an environment where experimentation is encouraged, but accountability and delivery are paramount.
• Serve as the primary technical voice in high-stakes client meetings, simplifying complex architectural concepts into compelling business value propositions.
• Business Growth : Partner with Sales and Product teams to articulate the competitive advantage of our AI-enabled development processes to prospective clients and investors.
• Client Solution Viability & Compliance : Ensure the flexibility and compliance of AI adoption strategies (governance, tools, data privacy) to meet the diverse security and regulatory requirements of our clients.

Must Have

• Senior Leadership Experience : 5+ years in a senior technology role (VP of Engineering, CTO, or Deputy CTO) with a focus on software delivery.
• AI Implementation Track Record : Demonstrable experience leading the transformation of engineering teams through Generative AI (e.g., LLMs for code generation, automated testing suites, and documentation).
• Proven ROI Analysis : Expertise in quantifying the efficiency gains derived from technical initiatives and reporting these to executive stakeholders.
• Governance Expertise : Strong understanding of security risks and governance associated with using third-party AI tools in an enterprise environment.
• Communication Skills : Exceptional ability to bridge the gap between technical complexity and business strategy for non-technical audiences.
• Modern Tech Stack Expertise : Hands-on experience working with several modern technologies such as .NET, Python, React / React Native, Angular, Next.js, TypeScript, among others.
• Infrastructure Background : Deep experience in large-scale system architecture and cloud ecosystems (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

Language Skills

Language Skills : Full fluency in English (required).

Fluency in Spanish and / or Portuguese is considered a strong plus.

What We Offer

Strategic Impact : Redefine how software is built.
