We’re working with an AI automation business looking for a rare kind of technology leader: someone who can still build production systems while leading product, engineering and delivery.

This hands-on CTO role with a Product focus will work closely with the founder to scale a business with client workflows already in production, an existing team, real revenue and active demand.

The business identifies valuable client workflows, builds AI-enabled automation solutions and operates them as managed services. The next phase is about improving the technical platform, strengthening delivery standards, building the team and turning successful client work into a more repeatable and scalable model.

This is not a purely strategic leadership role. The position will initially involve hands-on production development. You will need to be technically current, including recent experience building and deploying AI automation, workflow or multi-agent systems.





You’ll likely suit this role if you have:
Recent hands-on experience shipping production AI or automation systems
Robust software engineering, architecture and DevOps capability
The ability to lead engineers while remaining deeply involved in development
Robust product and delivery judgement
The confidence to work directly with clients and contribute to winning recent work
Commercial awareness across delivery margins, pricing and client outcomes
A bias for speed, pragmatism and disciplined execution

The founder will continue to lead the overall company direction, sales strategy and P&L.; The CTO will own the product and technology agenda and play a central role in the operation and growth of the business.

This is a Sydney-based role. The position offers a competitive executive salary plus equity.
