We’re building the digital rails for baggage, transforming a legacy, manual process into a seamless, data-driven network that connects passengers, airlines, airports, and logistics partners in real time. Headquartered in London, we partner with some of the world’s leading airlines to deliver Baggage-as-a-Service, fully integrated into their booking and check-in journeys. Our platform is live across multiple European markets and expanding rapidly through strategic global partnerships that enable deployment across hundreds of airports and carriers. Airportr sits at the intersection of travel technology, logistics, and automation — combining deep operational know-how with modern engineering to solve one of air travel’s hardest problems at global scale. We’re on a mission to make baggage handling invisible: intelligent, automated, and effortlessly connected from doorstep to destination. You will define the technology, data and AI foundations that make this vision a global reality. What are we looking for? The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) holds a critical leadership position at Airportr. This role involves defining and executing the company's technology vision, strategy, and roadmap. As a vital member of the executive team, the CTO is directly responsible for ensuring the core platform's security, stability and its contribution to market leadership and global expansion. This pivotal role requires a proven and accomplished leader with a track record of successfully scaling technology infrastructure and building high-performing teams. You will lead our evolution from surface-level, bolt-on AI features to a deeply integrated AI-native platform—where data, models, and decisioning are embedded across the customer journey, logistics orchestration, and operational tooling to drive measurable step-changes in performance. This experience should ideally have been gained in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, with a preference for candidates from the travel or logistics technology sectors. The CTO will be instrumental in fostering innovation, managing technological risks, and aligning technology initiatives with the company's broader business objectives to maintain competitiveness in a rapidly evolving market.

Implement guardrails for safety, bias, auditability, and data governance aligned with aviation and privacy regulations, with clear human-in-the-loop controls for critical operations., • End-to-End Platform Ownership: Oversee the full technical lifecycle of our core products: the customer e-commerce/mobile experience, the proprietary agent-facing logistics and regulatory compliant workflow apps, the real-time bag tracking system, and mission-critical airline/airport integration APIs., • Own the Data Platform: Lead the design and operation of Airportr’s data infrastructure ensuring reliable, governed data flows that power analytics, AI, and automation across the business., • Automation & Velocity: Embed automation at every layer—from infrastructure provisioning and CI/CD pipelines to testing, data workflows, and operational recovery—to enable rapid, safe, repeatable delivery. Ensure quality and resilience through DevOps principles and a bias for systems that run themselves., • Executive Strategy: As a member of the C-suite, translate business objectives and investor expectations into clear, actionable technical strategies and investment plans, effectively communicating the technology vision to the Board and external stakeholders., • Team Scaling & Culture: Lead, mentor, and rapidly scale a high-performing engineering, data, and IT team. Cultivate a culture of technical excellence, accountability, speed, and continuous learning, while attracting top-tier talent in a competitive market., • Budget & Resource Management: Manage the technology budget, making strategic trade-offs between innovation, operational maintenance, and cost optimisation to maximise runway and investment return. How we will measure impact Success will be evaluated based on the technology platform's strength, speed, and efficiency, specifically its capacity to scale securely and reliably. This will enable rapid innovation and demonstrable business results. The impact will be evident in quicker time-to-market, enhanced engineering velocity, and consistently high platform performance in terms of availability, latency, and stability. The platform must deliver a high ROI on engineering investment and healthy margins through automation, scaling efficiently across markets with robust security, compliance and cost discipline. Airportr's distinct technological advantages, including its integrations, data intelligence and automation, will serve as a competitive differentiator, guaranteeing resilience, scalability, and sustained market leadership.

Senior AI Engineer Location: Belfast or Remote (UK-based) Type: Permanent | Hybrid Belfast or Fully Remote (UK) Salary: Competitive base + extended benefits package About the Opportunity If you're the kind of engineer who enjoys turning cutting-edge AI into real, production features that people actually use, this is a role worth serious consideration. You'll be joining a global technology company whose platform helps major manufacturers design and build products smarter and faster. The platform simulates real-world manufacturing processes before anything is made, giving customers early insight into cost, efficiency, and design trade-offs. The next phase of the platform is a major one: embedding AI and Generative AI directly into the product, not as experiments or side projects, but as core capabilities. This role sits right at the start of that journey and will help define how AI is built and scaled across the platform. What You'll Be Doing This is a hands-on, ownership-driven engineering role. You'll design, build, deploy, and own AI-powered capabilities that run in production and are used by real customers - including intelligent assistants, automated insights, and adaptive recommendations. You'll work closely with Product, Data, and Engineering teams to shape both the technical approach and the broader AI roadmap. Day to day, that includes: * Designing, building, and owning LLM-based features and GenAI workflows in production * Using frameworks such as LangChain, PyTorch, and TensorFlow to deliver applied AI solutions * Working with AWS Bedrock, SageMaker, or GCP Vertex AI to build scalable cloud-based systems * Implementing strong MLOps / LLMOps practices, including CI/CD, monitoring, cost control, and performance optimisation * Partnering with Data Engineers to ensure the data pipelines feeding models are reliable, scalable, and well-structured * Staying close to emerging GenAI patterns, model safety considerations, and new tooling - and helping the team adopt what's genuinely useful What You'll Bring This role suits someone comfortable operating across the full AI delivery lifecycle - from design through to deployment and long-term ownership. You'll likely have: * 5+ years' experience in software, ML, or AI engineering roles * Strong Python skills, with hands-on experience shipping AI/ML or LLM-driven systems into production * Experience working with cloud ML platforms (AWS SageMaker / Bedrock, Vertex AI, or similar) * Familiarity with LangChain or comparable orchestration frameworks for LLM pipelines * A solid understanding of MLOps and what it takes to run models reliably in production * A collaborative mindset - comfortable working closely with Product and Data teams, and mentoring others when needed * A practical, curious approach - you enjoy experimenting, but you care most about building things that work Why This Role? * You'll play a key role in defining how AI and GenAI are embedded into a global, customer-facing product - this is not an innovation lab or side initiative * You'll work with a modern, cloud-first stack and focus on applied AI, not theoretical research * You'll join a team small enough to move quickly, with the backing and scale of a global technology business * Flexible working with UK-based remote options for the right person How They Work The main engineering hub is in Belfast, but the team works flexibly across the UK. What matters most is clear communication, ownership, and a shared interest in using AI to solve real-world problems.
