The Opportunity

  • We are partnering with one of the fastest-growing enterprise AI companies globally, now hiring a founding technical leader for the region.
  • The company has raised approximately US$286m, reached a reported US$2bn valuation, and is building production-grade AI agents that help large organisations transform customer service, operations, and workflow automation.
  • This is a rare founding technical leadership role. You will be the senior technical voice in-market, responsible for enterprise credibility, solution strategy, technical sales, architecture, security, deployment quality, and building the regional technical team.


What You’ll Do

  • Build and lead the regional technical function across Forward Deployed Engineering, Deployment Strategy, integrations, technical pre-sales, and customer delivery.
  • Lead technical customer conversations across architecture, security, integration, scalability, reliability, and AI adoption.
  • Partner with Sales and regional leadership to win strategic enterprise customers.
  • Shape proof-of-value plans, technical win themes, solution designs, and deployment pathways.
  • Act as the senior technical point of contact for enterprise customers.
  • Hire, develop, and set the standard for the local technical delivery team.
  • Stay hands-on with solution design, integration challenges, prototypes, technical escalations, and deployment quality.
  • Bring regional product feedback, localisation needs, security requirements, and customer insights back to global Product and Engineering.


What You’ll Bring

  • Senior technical leadership experience across software, AI, cloud, data, solutions, architecture, engineering, or enterprise delivery.
  • Ability to engage credibly with CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, architects, engineers, operations leaders, and C-suite stakeholders.
  • Strong understanding of enterprise architecture, APIs, integrations, cloud, security, data flows, and production software environments.
  • Experience building or leading customer-facing technical teams.
  • Strong commercial awareness and ability to partner closely with Sales.
  • Comfort operating in a zero-to-one environment.
  • A hands-on technical mindset, not just high-level leadership.
  • Deep interest in AI agents, enterprise automation, and applied AI.



Why Join

This is an opportunity to define the technical foundation for a major AI company entering the region. You will build the team, shape the playbook, influence the product, and help major enterprises deploy AI agents that create visible business impact.
