About the job
eqltech is seeking a Founding Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to help shape and build an early-stage AI platform in London. This is a hands-on technical leadership role, working side by side with the founder to design and expand the company’s core technology from the ground up.
The platform brings together modular workflow orchestration, an AI-powered domain assistant, and a sophisticated document intelligence layer. The aim: to turn fragmented, manual processes into streamlined, intelligent solutions for institutional finance clients. eqltech operates at the intersection of AI and finance, serving a high-value client base that lacks strong AI infrastructure today.
With pre-seed funding secured and preparations underway for a seed round, the company offers a co-founder level structure to the right CTO. The CEO brings operational depth and strong client-side expertise to the partnership.
What you will do
- Define and lead the technical strategy, architecture, and engineering execution for the platform
- Build and mentor a high-performing engineering team from the ground up
- Oversee development of workflow orchestration, document intelligence, large language model (LLM) integration, and data pipelines
- Work closely with the CEO to translate client needs into actionable product features
- Represent technology as a co-founder, collaborating with clients, partners, and investors as the company grows
