This is more than a CTO job - it's a chance to redefine what's possible in surgery.

If you're ready to build technology that truly saves lives, we'd love to hear from you.

At CustomSurg AG, we're reimagining how surgeons plan and perform complex operations. Our mission is simple but bold: to make personalized surgery the new standard of care. We combine advanced imaging, AI-powered surgical planning, and computational modeling to deliver precision tools that empower surgeons and transform patient outcomes. Backed by strong clinical collaborations around the globe and a rapidly growing customer base, we're scaling our technology globally - and we're just getting started. We're looking for a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) who's ready to take the lead in building and scaling a platform that changes lives. You'll be responsible for a team of 6 R&D engineers and data scientists and take ownership of our technology vision - from architecture and infrastructure to product innovation and regulatory integration. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a builder, innovator, and leader who wants to shape the future of personalized surgery. You have successfully built complex, scalable software-as-a-medical device solutions before and are equally comfortable working on the code base yourself as you are presenting key aspects of our technology strategy to the board of directors. What You'll Do * You are a player coach. You actively coach our engineering team towards best in class technical solutions through hands on involvement. * You are able to cope with competing priorities, especially balancing mid-term architectural invests and short-term pragmatic needs. * Build and scale: Lead and grow a world-class engineering team across software, AI, and computational modeling. * Innovate fast: Drive R&D in surgical planning, computer vision, and * Ship products that matter: Deliver software and hardware solutions that directly impact patient lives - every day. * Own quality & compliance: Ensure our technology meets medical device standards (MDR/FDA) without slowing innovation. * Collaborate deeply: Partner with surgeons, data scientists, and designers to bring user-centered, clinically relevant products to life.
