Field CTO

The Role

The Deployment Engineering team is responsible for deploying the PhysicsX platform into customer-owned infrastructure. This is a technically complex, high-stakes process: working with customer IT teams to map their environment, navigating security and compliance requirements, standing up the infrastructure needed to run our Kubernetes-based Platform, and seeing the deployment through to success. You'll be accountable for the end-to-end success of these deployments.

Who We're Looking For

• A track record of leading technical teams delivering complex infrastructure or platform deployments into enterprise environments
• Strong experience with Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Open Stack, RHOS) — enough to lead technical conversations with your team and with customer engineering leadership. You will need to be accountable for the technical quality of the team’s output
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tooling (Crossplane, Terraform, Helm) and the OCI ecosystem
• Experience navigating enterprise IT organisations: security reviews, procurement processes, and stakeholder management across technical and non-technical audiences
• Proven ability to build relationships with senior technical executives (CTO, CIO, VP Engineering) at large organisations
• Experience hiring and growing technical teams
• Excellent communication skills — written, verbal, and in the room
• Willingness to travel to customer sites within your region, and occasionally internationally, for an average of 3–4 weeks per quarter
• Experience in regulated or high-security environments is a must
• Experience with on-prem / HPC type “scientific” environments is a nice to have
