Field CTO - EMEA, DX in London

About DX

DX is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah and is one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies globally. We help engineering leaders build high-performing, productive teams. DX collects millions of data points daily, powering insights into developer productivity and experience at companies like Pinterest, GitHub, BNY, Xero, and many more. Our business has scaled profitably and grown rapidly—tripling annual recurring revenue in the last several years. DX recently closed on its acquisition by Atlassian. By joining Atlassian, we will expand our resources, accelerate growth and R&D, and ultimately deliver greater impact to our customers.

How we work at DX:

At DX, we want to be very clear about what we care about and how we judge performance. For us, it all boils down to individual mastery, becoming the best at your craft. Those who exhibit this quality will thrive here and be unduly rewarded. We can’t control outcomes due to competitors, the economy, decision-makers, etc., but what we can control is doing our jobs at the highest level possible.

About the role

The EMEA Field CTO is DX's primary strategist, storyteller, and technical expert for the EMEA market. This person translates DX's research into workshops, executive narratives, and product demonstrations that win business, enable customers, and build DX's reputation as the authority on developer productivity and AI measurement in EMEA. Unlike a pure thought leadership role, this position carries direct commercial accountability. The EMEA Field CTO maintains a named account portfolio, participates in active deals, and is measured on both content contribution and revenue influence.

Responsibilities

• Own a portfolio of 15+ named EMEA accounts per half, co-selected with DX sales at the start of each half. The portfolio will include a mix of active opportunities and customers.
• Help advance deals by winning executive-level alignment through exec 1:1s and briefings, presentations, or workshops.
• Host or co-host 2–4 experiences per quarter in EMEA — work with our events team and host events for VP/CTO-level leaders at target accounts.
• Deliver 1–2 internal enablement sessions per quarter for DX reps in EMEA.
• Surface customer blockers, feature gaps, and competitive intelligence to the DX product team on a regular cadence.
• Contribute to a quarterly Field CTO VOC report summarising themes from customer conversations, deal objections, and product requests heard in the field.
• Package research into field-ready assets.
• Be an expert on the product.
• Represent DX in media and analyst conversations.
• Produce at least 3 small research ships per quarter — or be the lead author on 1 large ship.
