AI-native transformation leader & hands‑on builder-in-chief driving intelligent engineering to create real business value for enterprises. Architect what’s next. Own client revenue. Scale meaningful outcomes.

Your Mission : The Role

solving for better.

  • You are not just a technology leader. You are the chief architect of our future and innovation leader. You lead by doing—by building systems, shipping platforms, and scaling infrastructure that powers real AI outcomes.
  • You won’t be presenting tech strategy on PowerPoint. You’ll be hands‑on defining foundational architecture, evolving our platform DNA, and unlocking entirely new capabilities for AI‑native product development.
  • You will head Engineering, R&D, and Strategic Partnerships from a tech standpoint, employing first‑principles design to create defensible moats and net‑new revenue streams. Slide decks are optional after the platform is live.
  • We’re not hiring a spokesperson. We need a CTO who still reviews PRs, whiteboards latency trade‑offs, and thinks deployment‑first. Relentless prototyper, ruthless refactorer, defender of velocity—you’ll be the Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for velocity, integrity, innovation cadence and the performance of the engineering org behind it.

Your Responsibilities

what you will wake up to solve.

This isn’t a “ manage the tech team ” role. You are the architect of reimagine ' what's next ' and redefine the ' how ' of ' what's next '. Your mission is to define the future of AI‑native technology , build scalable platforms, and translate technical excellence into compounding business advantage.

  • Guardrails & reliability. Embed SRE, security, and ethical HITL checks into CI / CD; track NPS >

    Grow the Engine — People & Ecosystem

  • Elevate talent. Hire, coach, and retain world‑class engineers; double internal promotion rate YoY.
  • Set the bar. Codify standards, design reviews, and architectural principles that scale across squads.
  • Partner to win. Forge deep alliances with hyperscalers, ISVs, and research labs; present Searce’s narrative at industry forums.
