Job description

We're looking for a CTO with exceptional capabilities, who likes to punch above their weight, excited at the idea of creating the 1st ever learning tool with 100% active users!

· Are you an innovator? We're looking for someone that isn't just excited about designing features, but that obsesses about results.

· Do you have a growth mindset? We need someone who can evolve the platform into an indispensable product for user, buyers… and take us to £1M ARR!!

· Are you a technical Leader? Driving innovation end-to-end: making big architectural calls, growing the team, and diving into the code whenever needed.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Drive the overall tech strategy and bring the company's vision to life.
  • Lead and mentor a small team of talented engineers.
  • Adjust course based on 6-month worth of data and user feedback (and counting!)
  • Build out our AI infrastructure - things like RAG pipelines, multimodal content handling, and LLM-powered experiences that actually work in production.
  • Experiment with the latest models, tools, and APIs to stay ahead of the curve.
  • Own Data and Security policy. Support the CEO / sales team during IT audits
  • Keep the platform secure, stable, and scalable as we grow fast.

Requirements

  • Experience leading technical projects or teams (startups or small teams are a big plus).
  • Strong background in Python, FastAPI, or similar frameworks.
  • Experience working with LLMs, vector databases, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
  • Hands-on experience deploying AI systems in production.
  • Experience in dealing with IT audits with prospects.
  • A good grasp of cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
  • A curiosity for how people learn and grow - and how tech can help with that.

Benefits & conditions

  • You'll be joining at take-off stage, where every product decision shapes how high the company can go. If you succeed, your team will 2-3x in the next 12 months.
  • You'll get to work with cutting-edge AI tech - not just talk about it.
  • You'll have a lot of autonomy, trust, and influence within a small and passionate team
  • The equity package reflects how important this role is - you'll have real ownership in where this goes.

If you love the idea of building an AI product that actually helps people - and you want to be there from the start, helping shape both the tech and the culture - we'd love to chat.

About the company

Our multimodal platform is fuelled by the top 0.1% experts, and includes real-time advice features bringing insights from world-class coaches into the flow of work. We're early, we're ambitious, and we're doing something that hasn't been done before. The kind of thing that's equal parts exciting and terrifying - in a good way.
