Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Autonomous Robotics / Deep-Tech Scale-Up Company and Goals We are working with a seed-stage deep-tech company building a real-world autonomous robotics platform spanning hardware, robotics, embedded systems, autonomy, and cloud software. The business has a strong technical founding team, high talent density, and a clear ambition. This is deep-tech with real constraints, real impact, and real ambition. The goal is bold: build a category-defining company and scale it to unicorn level within the next few years. They are now looking to appoint a CTO to lead the next phase of scale.
