Chief Technology Officer

Job Description

We're looking for a CTO, who can radically enhance engineering productivity by embedding AI-driven tools and practices into every layer of the development process. The ideal candidate will reimagine how software is built in 2025 and beyond—using automation, LLMs, and generative AI to accelerate delivery and innovation. You will introduce systems that eliminate bottlenecks, improve code quality, and enable each engineer to operate at 10x velocity. This role requires a deep understanding of emerging tech and a bias for action to build reusable, intelligent infrastructure. Above all, you will foster a culture of experimentation, learning, and continuous improvement across the entire tech organization. Key Responsibilities Own and evolve the technology vision, architecture, and roadmap across all product lines. Lead and mentor a team of engineers and designers, filling leadership and skill gaps as needed.

Collaborate with Product and Curriculum teams to create adaptive, intelligent learning tools that support diverse user-levels. Spearhead the development and implementation of AI-powered features such as adaptive assessments, intelligent remediation, and data-driven learner support. Establish best practices for software development, scalability, security, and DevOps. Make strategic build vs. buy decisions for infrastructure, APIs, and tooling. Represent the technology function to investors, partners, and strategic stakeholders when required. Ideal Candidate 10+ years of progressive experience in software engineering, including 3+ years in a CTO, VP Engineering, or equivalent leadership role.
