This role sits at the intersection of business analysis and quality assurance — perfect for someone who thrives on translating complex business goals into crystal-clear documentation and then ensuring flawless delivery through robust testing practices.

This role combines hands-on technical depth with strategic leadership, serving as the CTO's primary partner in driving AI-powered engineering transformation. You will lead a team of Technical Leads and Cloud DevOps Engineers, embedding AI-first practices across the engineering function to improve development speed, delivery quality, and scalability.

You'll provide high-level technical direction across 10–15 concurrent projects, champion smart engineering practices, and ensure infrastructure is secure, reliable, and cost-optimised. Beyond technical leadership, you'll play a pivotal role in building capability across the team, mentoring, coaching, and embedding AI-powered approaches that keep PixelForce at the cutting edge.

This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of innovation and execution: you'll shape the future of engineering at PixelForce while ensuring our clients' projects are delivered to the highest standards today.

  • AI Engineering Leadership:
    Champion the adoption of AI tools and practices that improve coding, testing, debugging, and project delivery outcomes.
  • Strategic Technical Leadership:
    Provide high-level technical direction across multiple concurrent projects, ensuring scalability, reliability, and quality.

    Design, implement, and oversee modern cloud-based solutions with AI-driven optimisation for speed, cost, and performance.
  • Team Leadership & Development:
    Lead and mentor a high-performing technical team, embedding AI-first skills, fostering innovation, and driving professional growth.
  • Project Excellence:
    Ensure superior technical outcomes, leveraging AI-enabled tools to accelerate development, resolve complex issues, and maintain world-class standards.
  • Partnership with the CTO:
    Translate strategic goals into execution, ensuring that AI enablement and smart engineering practices are deeply embedded across PixelForce.

With 10+ years of development experience (including deep expertise in Ruby on Rails) and at least 5 years in senior technical leadership roles, you bring the ability to scale systems, lead teams, and deliver outstanding results in high-growth environments.

  • You're an AI engineering pioneer, with practical experience embedding AI tools into workflows to enhance speed, quality, and innovation.
  • You're a technical authority, with expertise across Ruby on Rails, cloud platforms (AWS preferred), DevOps, and modern infrastructure.
  • You're a strategic thinker, able to translate big-picture goals into technical initiatives that drive measurable outcomes.
  • You're a team builder and mentor, passionate about developing others and creating a culture of innovation and excellence.
