About Our Client

We are exclusively representing one of Europe's most exciting AI startups. 🚀 Our client is revolutionizing enterprise customer support by combining cutting-edge AI agents with deep local market expertise.

They've just closed a record-breaking $34M pre-seed round from giants like Index Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Vine Ventures. They are in hyper-growth mode across Europe, with live enterprise customers in telecom, banking, and healthcare. This is a genuine 0-to-1 opportunity to write the playbook for a brand-new category.

About the Role

Our client is searching for a hands-on technical leader to build their regional technical organization from the ground up.

This is NOT a traditional, hands-off executive CTO role. Think 'Founding Engineer' energy combined with senior leadership experience. You'll be the technical face of the company in your region, splitting your time between leading technical sales, owning complex integrations, and building your high-performing team of 5-10 engineers.

Your Key Responsibilities:

• 🤝 Technical Sales Leadership: Lead demos, architecture reviews, and security discussions with enterprise clients.

• 💻 Hands-On Engineering: Ship code, build integrations, and maintain high engineering standards. You'll be deep in the codebase.

• 📈 Team Building: Recruit, mentor, and lead a top-tier technical team (engineers, integration specialists).

• 🛠️ Customer Success: Own end-to-end integration and deployment of our AI agents for major clients.

• 🌍 Product Localization: Gather regional feedback and collaborate with global R&D/Product teams at HQ.

• 🗣️ Regional Technical Authority: Serve as the go-to technical point of contact for customers, partners, and escalations.

  
  

Must-Have Requirements:

• ✅ 7-8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience with shipped products.

• 🤖 Deep GenAI/AI Agents Experience: You've built or worked extensively with AI agents.

• 🗣️ Customer-Facing Pro: Proven background in roles like Field CTO, Solutions Architect, or Deployed Engineer.

• 💼 Pre-Sales / Solution Architecture: Track record of leading complex technical implementations and enterprise sales discussions.

• 🚀 Leadership & Startup DNA: Experience at a Director/VP level OR as a startup founder/co-founder. You thrive in ambiguity and move fast.

• 🌐 Excellent Communication: Fluent English + at least one other major European language.

  
  

The Ideal Candidate:

• Founders, founding engineers, or staff-level engineers who want to build, not just manage.

• People who get energized by customer conversations and closing deals fast.

• Leaders who want to own outcomes and operate with a high degree of autonomy.

• A "0-to-1" mindset—you're here to build from scratch, not maintain.

  
  

What Our Client Offers:

• 💸 Top-Tier Compensation: A highly competitive salary (top of the market).

• 📈 Significant Equity: Meaningful stock options with a country-specific vesting structure.

• 🏡 Fully Remote: Work from any major European city (must be able to travel for client demos/meetings).

• 🌴 Benefits & PTO: A comprehensive package specific to your country.

• 🚀 Founder-Level Impact: A rare chance to build a team, close deals, and ship code at a rocket ship company with serious backing and real revenue.
