## Description

We are seeking a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to own the end-to-end technical vision and execution of Client 's platform and products.

This is a builder CTO role for a systems-level leader who can architect, scale, and ship deeply integrated hardware, software, and AI systems. The CTO will lead large, multidisciplinary engineering teams and will be responsible for designing and delivering the next 1-3 generations of Client 's core products.

This role is not advisory, not research-only, and not business development-oriented. The CTO is the company's senior-most technical authority, accountable for turning long-term product vision into reliable, manufacturable, and globally deployable systems that win in the market.

What You'll Own

Technology Vision & Architecture

-Define and own Client 's technology and platform roadmap with a 3-10 year horizon.

-Architect next-generation biometric identity systems across facial authentication, edge AI, secure hardware, and cloud services.

-Ensure all product evolution balances accuracy, latency, security, privacy, cost, and scalability.

Engineering Leadership

-Lead and scale engineering organizations spanning hardware, firmware, embedded systems, AI/ML, and cloud software.

-Set technical standards for reliability, security, performance, and manufacturability.

-Make final architectural decisions and drive disciplined execution across teams.

Product Evolution

-Own the evolution of Client 's core products across multiple generations, delivering step-function improvements in customer value and market differentiation.

-Partner closely with Product and Design to translate customer needs and market opportunities into shipped capabilities.

-Ensure innovation moves from concept * prototype * production * deployment.

AI, Edge & Privacy

-Guide the development of computer vision and AI systems optimized for on-device inference and real-world environments.

-Champion privacy-first and security-by-design approaches across the stack.

-Build platforms that can adapt to future identity modalities and regulatory requirements.

Market & Technical Leadership

-Represent Client as a technical leader with customers, partners, and at industry forums.

-Maintain awareness of relevant standards and compliance frameworks (e.g., GDPR, NIST, FedRAMP) as design constraints-not ownership areas.
