A pioneering technology company is seeking a visionary Chief Technology Officer to lead a radical transformation in their approach to artificial intelligence. This is an exceptional opportunity for you to architect and execute the shift from traditional manual-code development to a truly AI-native, self-improving product ecosystem. You will be empowered to build and guide a world-class team of AI experts, driving innovation in 3D reconstruction and spatial computing while collaborating closely with commercial leaders to shape the future of immersive digital experiences.

What you'll do:

As Chief Technology Officer of Artificial Intelligence Systems, you will play a central role in shaping both the technological direction and cultural ethos of the organisation. Your day-to-day responsibilities will revolve around architecting transformative solutions using artificial intelligence as the primary building block. You will guide your team through complex challenges in 3D reconstruction while ensuring that every initiative aligns with broader commercial strategies. By fostering an environment where continuous learning is encouraged and rapid experimentation is supported, you will empower your colleagues to push boundaries in digital identity creation. Your expertise will be instrumental in integrating advanced AI tools into existing workflows while maintaining operational excellence through robust infrastructure. Success in this role means not only delivering innovative products but also nurturing a collaborative spirit that bridges technology with business outcomes.

  • Spearhead core initiatives in AI-based 3D reconstruction by setting technical direction for projects such as live 2D-to-3D video conversion, humanoid generation from media assets, and seamless integration of advanced AI tools.
  • Define and own the long-term technology vision and artificial intelligence strategy, ensuring alignment with commercial goals and future scalability.
  • Architect a new development process focused on managing, training, and guiding AI systems for autonomous learning rather than traditional coding practices.
  • Recruit, mentor, and lead a high-performing team of AI experts who excel in leveraging generative AI for code generation and product development.
  • Foster an inclusive culture of continuous learning and rapid experimentation with emerging technologies within a globally distributed team.
  • Work collaboratively with commercial leadership to ensure the product roadmap addresses B2B client needs and evolving market opportunities.
  • Oversee technical integration projects for B2B clients, ensuring seamless adoption of advanced 3D tools powered by artificial intelligence.
  • Act as the principal technical representative for the organisation when engaging with clients, partners, and investors across various platforms.
  • Establish robust MLOps infrastructure and data pipelines to support rapid iteration, model training, deployment, and operational excellence in all AI systems.
  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of competitive AI tool landscapes to ensure utilisation of best-in-class technologies throughout the organisation.

What you bring:

In this Chief Technology Officer Artificial Intelligence Systems position, your proven experience will be essential for driving both technological innovation and organisational growth. You bring a wealth of expertise from previous roles where you have led large-scale transformations centred around artificial intelligence. Your background includes hands-on involvement with modern frameworks for machine learning operations as well as deep familiarity with cloud infrastructure required for scalable deployments. You have demonstrated success recruiting diverse teams who thrive under supportive mentorship while consistently delivering results aligned with commercial priorities. Your interpersonal skills allow you to communicate complex ideas clearly across departments—ensuring everyone feels connected to shared goals. With your knowledge of spatial computing trends and commitment to nurturing talent through empathetic guidance, you are well-positioned to help redefine how digital identities are created using advanced AI technologies.

  • Extensive experience spanning over ten years in technology leadership roles within forward-thinking organisations focused on artificial intelligence.
  • At least five years directly responsible for developing and executing successful AI/ML strategies across multiple product lines or teams.
  • Proven track record in building and managing teams dedicated to creating AI-native products or solutions that leverage generative models for code generation.
  • Deep understanding of modern artificial intelligence ecosystems including frameworks for model training, computer vision applications, and cloud-based infrastructure management.
  • Expertise in establishing robust MLOps principles that enable rapid iteration, scalable model deployment, and reliable data infrastructure across distributed teams.
  • Experience collaborating effectively with commercial or sales functions to deliver technology solutions aligned with business objectives.
  • Outstanding communication skills enabling you to bridge complex technical concepts with strategic business goals when interacting with stakeholders at all levels.
  • Knowledgeable about current trends in spatial computing, 3D reconstruction technologies, or computer vision applications relevant to digital identity creation.
  • Ability to inspire trust among colleagues through empathetic leadership style focused on nurturing talent and supporting collective achievement.
