The Job: Job Title: CTO

Working Set-Up: Hybrid working set-up in Petersfield (1-2 days per week)
Salary - 100,000- 120,000 + equity options
Interview process: 3 stages

The Role: Leo Technology have partnered exclusively with a start-up AI SaaS company who have set out to change the consumer retail space. After being founded in 2023, they\'re on a mission to revolutionise how businesses engage with their customers through intelligent, AI-driven conversational solutions. Backed by a recent seed-plus investment and with a growing client base - including the second-largest automotive marketplace in the UK - they\'re at a hugely exciting point of rapid growth. With the initial success (and incredible ongoing potential) of their product, they\'re now looking to hire a talented and ambitious CTO to take full ownership of their technology strategy and execution. You\'ll be a hands-on leader, writing code and solving technical challenges across the stack while setting the direction for how they grow their engineering capabilities. You\'ll work closely with their specialist AI agency while developing the right balance between internal teams and external partners. As they move towards Series A, you\'ll also play a key role in investor relations, communicating the technical vision and roadmap, and leading technical due diligence processes. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Technical Lead to join a growing start-up who are driving for global dominance.

The Person:

• Proven technical leadership experience in a start-up or scale-up ( ideally from Seed to Series A)
• Hands-on expertise with OpenAI integrations or other LLM-based solutions
• Technical experience with Node.js, Python, and SQL
• Experience with API design and development for both internal and external use cases
• Experience designing and scaling data pipelines and working with large datasets
• Track record of building and managing teams
