Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Field CTO - **Company:** Adam Inc - **Location:** United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Static Program Analysis, Programming Tools, Software Engineering - **Published:** September 4, 2026 - **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/field-cto-workweave-ai-8783108 ## About the Role * Prior Field CTO, Chief Evangelist, or DevRel leadership role at a developer tools or infrastructure company * You've delivered keynotes or major conference talks and can command a room of skeptical engineers as easily as a boardroom. * An existing network of CTOs and VPs of Engineering who already trust you * Experience supporting enterprise sales cycles as a technical executive ## Description * Understand how engineers actually work (not just what they ship) * Surface meaningful insights about productivity, quality, collaboration and impact * Help teams improve outcomes without vanity metrics or surveillance Our goal is not to optimize for "more output," but for better engineering. THE TEAM YOU'LL WORK WITH You'll work directly with: * Adam (CEO) - leads sales and customer discovery. Adam is a former sales executive at multiple high-growth startups and deeply embedded with customers and scaled multiple sales teams from $0-30M in ARR. * Andrew (CTO) - previously a founding engineer at Causal, MIT alum. Andrew is deeply committed to providing the mentorship, ownership and growth he had as an early engineer. This is a small, intense, highly collaborative team. You will have real ownership from day one. THE ROLE This isn't a traditional developer advocate role. It sits a level above. The closest thing we can describe it as is a mashup of keynote speaker, executive advisor, researcher, and evangelist. You'll own Weave's technical voice in the market: on stage at conferences, in rooms with CTOs deciding how their org should measure engineering, and in the research and writing that shapes how the industry thinks about productivity in the AI era. Engineering leaders everywhere are asking the same question: "is AI actually making my team better?" The person who answers it credibly will define the category. We want that person to be you, wearing a Weave shirt. You won't carry a quota, but you will move the business. You'll be measured on whether the market knows Weave, trusts Weave, and buys Weave because of the authority you build., * Be Weave's face in the field. Keynotes, conference talks, panels, meetups, podcasts, conventions. You'll build and run our field presence, deciding where we show up and making every appearance count. * Advise engineering executives. Act as a trusted, vendor-neutral-feeling advisor to CTOs and VPs of Engineering during evaluations, POCs, and long after the deal closes. * Partner with sales. Provide executive air cover on strategic deals. Translate what Weave does (AI code analysis, integrations, velocity modeling) into narratives executives repeat internally. * Feed the field back into product. You'll hear what hundreds of engineering leaders actually struggle with. Bring it home and sharpen our roadmap with it. * Build the community. Cultivate lasting relationships with the engineering leaders we want as customers, champions, and friends of Weave. * Be flexible: some days you're keynoting a conference, others you're whiteboarding a rollout with a customer's CTO or writing the talk that books the next ten meetings., * 15+ years in software engineering, including senior technical leadership. You've been a CTO, VP of Engineering, Deputy/Field CTO, or run a platform or developer productivity org. * Deep, lived expertise in developer productivity. You have real opinions on DORA, SPACE, and DevEx, and on where they break down in the age of AI, because you've owned the problem yourself. * You write exceptionally well. Your posts, research, or essays have an audience because the thinking is sharp, not because the SEO is. * Executive credibility. CTOs take your call, take your advice, and remember your name. * Self-directed and wired for speed. You build the playbook; nobody hands it to you. * Based in SF (in office when you're not on the road) with regular travel to conferences, conventions, and customers. ## Related Videos - [AI Pair Programming with GitHub Copilot at SAP: Looking Back, Looking Forward!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1546-ai-pair-programming-with-github-copilot-at-sap-looking-back-looking-forward) - [The Avengers Initiative (Practical Ethics for Software Engineers)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2070-the-avengers-initiative-practical-ethics-for-software-engineers) - [Edit Your Future: Queerverse Radical AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/909-edit-your-future-queerverse-radical-ai) - [I’m a Developer Working in Marketing… Here’s Why - Tim Cadenbach](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1372-i-m-a-developer-working-in-marketing-here-s-why-tim-cadenbach) - [Exploring AI: Opportunities and Risks in Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1267-exploring-ai-opportunities-and-risks-in-development) - [Hidden efficiency - How to enable your non-engineers as a CTO](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1412-hidden-efficiency-how-to-enable-your-non-engineers-as-a-cto) ## Related Articles - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
