Field CTO (Founding, Singapore)

Overview

This opportunity is for an early, founding-style technical leader to establish and grow the Asia presence for a fast-scaling AI company. The business has reached a $2B valuation within 13 months of founding and has secured $286M in total funding. Its enterprise customer-service AI agent platform is already live across organizations in more than 30 countries.

The role is based in Singapore and works closely with the European headquarters and its leadership team. The mandate is broad: help create the local business from scratch, shape the technical foundation, and act as a bridge between customers, product, engineering, and commercial teams.

Role focus

You will combine technical pre-sales, hands-on engineering, architecture guidance, customer implementation, and team building. This is a highly independent role suited to someone who wants a true zero-to-one challenge with broad ownership.

Key responsibilities

• Support the sales process by joining early customer discussions, running demonstrations, and explaining technical architecture and security considerations.
• Contribute directly to engineering work, including writing code, developing integrations, and maintaining strong delivery standards.
• Set up and lead a high-performing technical function spanning engineering, integrations, and pre-sales for the Singapore market.
• Own customer integrations from discovery through deployment, with a focus on production reliability and accuracy for AI agent rollouts.
• Collect customer feedback, adapt the product for the local market, and communicate regional requirements to the global product organization.
• Act as the main technical contact in the region, support partnerships, and manage escalations.

Candidate profile

The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on software engineering experience, strong customer-facing credibility, and the ability to operate like a builder and leader at the same time. Experience in solution architecture, pre-sales, or complex implementation work is important, along with the confidence to work directly with business and technical stakeholders.

Compensation and benefits

The package includes $350K in cash compensation plus equity, positioned as top-tier global pay with a founding-member style stock option package. Additional benefits include flexible remote work, world-class wellness support, and direct exposure to C-level leadership across regions.

Application process

The hiring process is designed to be informal and candidate-friendly. The first step is a conversation to share your background and the type of role you are seeking. If your profile matches the opportunity, you may be recommended directly to the client. Coordination, follow-up, and candidate support are handled throughout the process, and there is no cost to candidates.

Eligibility

This role is open only to Singapore citizens and permanent residents.
