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.
