About the Role
CTO at autonomous company builder
About us
We create the systems that build AI-native companies from 0-1, and then build these companies internally. Each of our companies is run by a handful of people and is built to take on legacy incumbents in all industries that generate hundreds of millions, to billions in revenue. So far, we have been successful: we have generated $40m ARR in our first year across 6 businesses. We expect to annihilate that figure in year 2.
- Traction: $0 to around $40m annualised run rate in 12 months
- Profitable: very, and revenue is expected to scale enormously over the next year
- Team: 10 people, mostly ex-founders
- Funding: Series A, $20m+
- Location: Aldgate, London (on-site)
The role: CTO
As CTO, you will build the framework every one of our business units are built on.
The short term goal is to take business that would normally need 500 employees to a point where one or two people can run them. Eventually, these systems will be responsible for billions in revenue. You will set the technical direction, build hands-on from day one, grow the engineering team around you and have strategic oversight over the business as a whole.
What you'll own
- The company framework: turning what works in one company into a repeatable system that every portfolio company and business unit can run on
- Legacy systems: optimising, redesigning and fully replacing the software that has underpinned entire industries for 20 years
- New systems: building products, infrastructure and internal tools from scratch, including Company Brain and our internal dashboards
- Agentic layers: adding agents on top of existing and new systems, so work once done by large teams runs automatically
- Deployment: rolling what we build out across every business unit, and making each new company faster to launch than the last
- The engineering team: hiring, setting the bar and leading the engineers who join after you
Who we're looking for
You have already built and run something that was vital to a company's performance. You should meet at least one of these:
- Former CTO or Technical Co-Founder of a startup that generated $200k+ ARR consistently for at least 2 years, or raised at least $1m+ from VCs
- Founding engineer at hyper scaling startup
You'll also:
- Be exceptional at 0 to 1: building systems from scratch and shipping work that generates serious revenue
- Be commercially savvy, caring about why a company works as much as how the code does
- Be able to work on-site in our office in Aldgate, London
We care about evidence. Tell us what you built, what it did for the business and the numbers behind it.
How we hire
- Intro call with our hiring team
- Interview with our CEO, focused on commercial thinking and decision-making
- Technical interview + systems architecture task with a member of our engineering team
- Trial day on-site in London
