CTO

About the Position

Group Chief Technology Officer

Remote-first · Europe (CET)

Build the technology engine behind multiple companies and stay hands-on while doing it.

We are looking for a highly hands-on, AI-native Group CTO to lead technology across a growing portfolio of ventures.

This is not a traditional group CTO role focused primarily on strategy, governance, and management. We are looking for someone who builds.

You will be expected to work directly with engineers, prototype systems, make architectural decisions, write and review code, experiment with AI technologies, and help turn ideas into production businesses.

You will operate at the intersection of venture building, technology, and AI, helping create new companies from the ground up while establishing the technical foundations that allow them to scale.

Responsibilities

• Designing a group-wide technology architecture.
• Building a prototype themselves.
• Working directly with engineers.
• Testing a new AI model or agent framework.
• Making a build-vs-buy decision.
• Reviewing production code.
• Launching an MVP.
• Hiring a senior technical leader.
• Challenging an architecture decision.
• Killing a technical initiative that isn't working.
• Turning an early-stage concept into a scalable technology business.

Requirements

• A significant hands-on engineering background.
• Experience operating as a CTO, technical founder, VP Engineering, or equivalent senior technical leader.
• Experience building companies, products, or ventures from zero to one.
• A strong track record of shipping production technology.
• Deep practical experience with modern AI and LLM technologies.
• Experience building AI-native products or systems used by real customers.
• Experience using AI to dramatically accelerate software development and venture creation.
• Experience building or consolidating platforms used across multiple products or companies.
• Strong architectural judgment and the ability to make pragmatic technology decisions quickly.
• Experience hiring and developing exceptional engineering leaders.
• The ability to move between strategy and implementation without losing technical depth.
• Strong commercial judgment and an understanding of how technology can create enterprise value.

Nice to Have

• Experience with venture studios or venture builders.
• Startups and company creation.
• Zero-to-one product development.
• AI-native companies.
• Agentic systems.
• Developer platforms.
• SaaS.
• Consumer technology.
• Regulated technology environments.
• Scaling engineering organizations.
• Building multiple products simultaneously.

We Offer

• Competitive salary: £150,000-180,000 per annum.
• Contract employment type.
• Remote work options.

About the Company

We are seeking a Group Chief Technology Officer to lead technology across a growing portfolio of ventures in Spain. If you are an experienced technical leader who still wants to be close to the technology, deeply understands AI, and wants to help build multiple companies rather than operate a single technology organization, this is an opportunity to have exceptional scope and impact.
