Wedo Tech has partnered with a pre-seed AI SaaS startup that’s developing a platform to make planning and decision-making faster and more transparent for engineering organisations. Their goalis to turn messy, disconnected data into a single, reliable source of truth that links engineering performance directly to ROI.
They’re under a year old and already gaining serious traction three enterprise clients live, eleven more lined up.

You’ll be working directly with a founder who’s been there and done, got the T-shirt having previously built, scaled, and successfully exited a tech company, now taking on their next challenge with renewed focus.

This role is for someone who knows what to build, not just how. Someone commercially minded, confident enough to challenge assumptions, and capable of balancing speed with good judgement. You’ve likely operated at Senior, Staff, Principal, or Early-Stage CTO level and comfortable with ambiguity and fast-moving teams.

You’ll be hands-on, close to customers, and tuned into how engineering decisions drive revenue and product outcomes. You’re low ego, opinionated yet flexible, and able to course-correct quickly.
