Chief Technology jobs in United Kingdom

About The Role

As CTO, you will own the end-to-end technical vision, architecture, and execution across the business. You’ll be instrumental in scaling the platform, tackling legacy technical debt, and enabling world-class game delivery infrastructure. This is not a theoretical or ivory-tower role — we need someone who understands the nuts and bolts of platform engineering and distribution at scale and is excited to get stuck in. You’ll work closely with the MD, product leads, and a highly experienced development team to align technology with commercial ambition and ensure the platform is robust, scalable, and ready for Games Inc.'s next chapter.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Strategy:

• Define and drive the technology roadmap to support growth in game output, global distribution, and new market scalability;
• Lead the ongoing evolution of the proprietary RGS platform to ensure it can scale to support higher throughput, enhanced tooling, and operator-facing features;
• Champion best practices in architecture, code quality, documentation, observability, and incident management.
  
  

Platform Modernisation

• Identify and resolve technical debt across core systems — stabilising, refactoring, or rebuilding where necessary;
• Introduce scalable design patterns that support modular game deployment, seamless integrations, and robust reporting;
• Ensure platform readiness for unregulated and regulated markets (multiple jurisdictions, compliance frameworks, latency considerations).
  
  

Team Leadership & Culture

• Inspire, mentor, and empower a longstanding, capable team of developers, architects, and engineers;
• Cultivate a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement while respecting legacy knowledge;
• Identify skills gaps and build team capability through hiring, training, or third-party partnerships where appropriate.
  
  

Data & Insights

• Build a modern data infrastructure to provide real-time and historical insights into gameplay, performance, regions, and operators;
• Collaborate with product and commercial teams to ensure data is actionable and available to improve decision-making;
  
  

Security, Compliance & Reliability

• Lead on technical compliance for regulated markets;
• Oversee the security posture of the platform (data protection, access control, monitoring);
• Ensure uptime, failover planning, and disaster recovery are in place and regularly tested.
  
  

About You

• Strong grounding in data architecture and platform analytics — able to design systems that provide value across tech, product and commercial teams;
• Experienced in managing and evolving high-performing, long-tenure teams — a great communicator who values empathy and pragmatism;
• Track record of building platforms and teams that scale globally and reliably;
• Passionate about games, products, and building infrastructure that enables amazing content to shine.

• Join at a pivotal moment of change — shape the technical future of a respected studio as it scales;
