Job description

Wonderful enables enterprises to build, test, deploy, and monitor AI agents for their most complex needs, serving customers and employees seamlessly across voice, chat, email, and back-office systems in any language or cultural context.

Role Overview

We’re looking for aCTO that can blend hands‑on engineering with technical leadership, and be the go‑to authority for both our customers and our team. You’ll lead from the front: writing code, guiding architecture, and running security discussions, while also building and scaling a high‑performing technical organization.

This role is as much about customer trust as it is about code. You’ll be the technical face of Wonderful in the region, steering integrations end‑to‑end, shaping how enterprises adopt our AI agents, and making sure our product truly delivers at scale. You will:

Lead the technical side of sales: join early‑stage conversations, present demos, and guide architecture and security discussions.

Act as hands‑on engineering lead - shipping code, building integrations, and setting high quality standards.

Build and lead a high‑performing technical team across engineering, integration, and pre‑sales.

Drive customer integrations, from scoping to deployment of AI agents, and ensure production accuracy.

Gather customer feedback, localize the product, and represent regional needs to the global Product team.

Serve as the local technical point of contact, building partnerships and handling escalations.

Requirements

7–8+ years of hands‑on software engineering experience - you’ve built things that actually shipped.

Proven track record in pre‑sales, solution architecture, or complex technical implementations.

Customer‑facing background in roles like Field CTO, Solutions Architect, or Deployed Engineer - you know how to speak both tech and business.

Strong leadership DNA - ideally with experience at Director, VP, or Founder level.

Excellent communication skills in English (both written and spoken) plus fluency in at least one local language in the region.

Comfortable operating independently in a zero‑to‑one environment - building the plan, the team, and the system from scratch.

Bonus: experience thriving in a fast‑moving startup where speed and ownership matter more than titles.
