We are building a venture focused on introducing new, high-value crops into controlled environment agriculture. The company combines genetics, breeding, trait selection, and cultivation protocols to develop crops that can be reliably grown in CEA and translated into scalable commercial applications across pharma, cosmetics, and agrifood.
We are looking for a CTO who can turn this vision into a focused technology and product roadmap. As CTO, you will lead the scientific and technological direction of the venture. You will connect genetics, cultivation, product development, data, and commercial strategy into one clear execution model.
Your responsibilities will include defining the technology roadmap, leading development across genetics, cultivation protocols and validation, translating scientific opportunities into commercially relevant programs, building and leading the technology team, coordinating external research and development partners, supporting IP and platform decisions, and representing the technology strategy in investor and strategic partner conversations.
