Job description

Join to apply for the Chief Technology Officer role at interface.ai

Banking is being reimagined—and customers expect every interaction to be easy, personal, and instant . We are building a universal banking assistant that millions of U.S. consumers can use to transact across all financial institutions and, over time, autonomously drive their financial goals . Powered by our proprietary BankGPT platform , this assistant is positioned to displace age-old legacy systems within financial institutions and own the end-to-end CX stack , unlocking a $200B opportunity and potentially replacing multiple publicly traded companies . Ultimately, our mission is to drive financial well-being for millions of consumers.

With over two-thirds of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, 50% holding less than $500 in savings, and only 17% financially literate, we aim to put financial well-being on autopilot to help solve this problem.

About the Role

We're hiring a Chief Technology Officer to lead the next chapter of our platform—taking us from high growth to durable scale . You'll be a strategic partner to the CEO and a hands-on systems thinker who combines architectural depth with operational excellence. Your mandate : translate vision into reliable, secure, efficient products , build a high‑performing global organization , and establish the operating rhythm that delivers innovation with governance, predictability, and measurable impact .

What will get you excited on day one

  • Scale an AI platform across channels : Advance multi‑tenant, multi‑region architecture and multi‑agent orchestration with strong safety, evaluation, and tooling patterns.
  • Raise the reliability bar : Define and enforce SLOs / error budgets, harden release engineering and observability, and ensure resilience (graceful degradation, redundancy, failovers).
  • Unblock legacy integration : Expand automation across fragmented / legacy systems (even when APIs are limited) with clear guardrails and auditability.
  • Governed self‑service at scale : Build a maker–checker approvals model, environment promotion, versioning / rollbacks, and end‑to‑end analytics (content lineage, experience scoring, knowledge‑gap detection) so customers can move fast with safety and control.
  • Make outcomes measurable : Tie reliability, performance, and unit economics to business results (CSAT, containment, NRR, ARR realization) with exec‑ready dashboards.
  • Level‑up the operating system : Institutionalize delivery governance, reduce time‑to‑value, manage technical debt, and drive cost / performance (incl. FinOps).
  • Build leaders, not just teams : Coach a strong leadership bench across Engineering, AI, DevOps, and Security; design org structures for scale across US and India.
  • Partner across the business : Work closely with Product, CS, Security, and GTM to align roadmaps with customer value, compliance, and faster go‑to‑market.

What You Will Do

Technology Strategy & Transformation

  • Define and operationalize a multi‑year technology roadmap that translates product vision into scalable, compliant, and secure execution.
  • Architect a multi‑tenant, extensible AI platform capable of supporting high concurrency, faster deployments, and continuous innovation.
  • Establish clear architectural guardrails, ensuring performance, cost efficiency, and regulatory alignment.
  • Build foundations in data governance, observability, and compliance telemetry, enabling proactive risk management and audit readiness.
  • Partner with Product, Security, and Customer Success to align technology evolution with customer value and platform reliability.
  • Lead cloud‑native architecture and stack modernization to improve resiliency, performance, and cost efficiency.
  • Own the data platform & MLOps strategy , including feature stores, model observability, drift detection / rollback, and CI / CD for models.
  • Advance customer‑facing AI (CX / AI) capabilities with Product & Customer Success to drive measurable customer outcomes.
  • Governed self‑service at scale : Advance a governed self‑service framework—maker–checker approvals, environment promotion, versioning / rollbacks—plus end‑to‑end analytics (content lineage / traceability, experience scoring, knowledge‑gap detection) so customers can move fast with safety, auditability, and control.
  • Engineering Execution & Delivery Governance

  • Lead a globally distributed engineering and AI organization to deliver with predictability, quality, and velocity.
  • Institutionalize delivery governance frameworks—milestone tracking, release cadence, postmortem reviews, and SLA adherence.
  • Build a KPI‑driven operating model, using data to drive accountability, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
  • Improve deployment agility while maintaining rigor in change management, release validation, and cost optimization.
  • Define baseline SLOs / SLAs and build operational dashboards with real‑time visibility into reliability, cost, and delivery KPIs.
  • Ensure tight interlock between Engineering, Product, and GTM for faster go‑to‑market execution.
  • Platform Reliability, Security & Compliance

  • Embed security, privacy, and reliability by design into every layer of the platform.
  • Maintain alignment with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and FFIEC frameworks through proactive observability and compliance automation.
  • Champion resilience, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning across global deployments.
  • Drive audit readiness and platform reliability metrics as core measures of success.
  • AI Platform Evolution & Innovation

  • Guide the next phase of AI platform evolution, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and responsible deployment of generative and agentic AI capabilities.
  • Strengthen the feedback loop between R&D and production, accelerating time‑to‑market while maintaining model safety and governance.
  • Evolve architecture to support multi‑agent orchestration, context persistence, and real‑time learning across customer environments.
  • Leadership & Organizational Scale

  • Build and mentor a high‑performing leadership bench across engineering, AI, DevOps, and security.
  • Drive cultural alignment around clarity, ownership, and measurable outcomes.
  • Establish an operating rhythm that balances innovation velocity with delivery consistency and stakeholder transparency.
  • Lead change management across people, process, and technology to embed governance and operating rigor at scale.
  • Represent technology to investors, customers, and partners—articulating how platform evolution drives value creation and defensibility.

    What You Bring

  • 15+ years of leadership experience scaling technology organizations through rapid growth—Series B→D, $10M → $100M ARR, and 50 → 200+ team expansions.
  • Deep operational expertise leading a global engineering organization, including India‑based centers of excellence.
  • Proven success implementing process rigor, performance measurement, and delivery governance across multi‑product SaaS environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to align funding, growth, and talent scaling across investment stages—balancing execution velocity with organizational stability.
  • Strategic understanding of FI, B2B2C, and Fintech ecosystems, with strong working knowledge of data privacy, compliance, and enterprise scalability dynamics.
  • Track record of navigating inflection points—fundraising, acquisitions, restructures, and platform migrations—while maintaining culture and stakeholder confidence.
  • Hands‑on leadership in cloud‑native architecture, stack modernization, and data platform / MLOps in multi‑product SaaS.
  • Proven change‑management track record (people + tech) driving adoption of new operating models across global teams.
  • Board‑facing and investor‑savvy communicator, capable of translating engineering performance into business impact and investor narratives.
  • Why this opportunity is rare

  • Category‑defining canvas : Lead the architecture of an agentic AI layer built for regulated banking.
  • Real scale, real stakes : Millions of monthly interactions and outcome‑tied engagements—your decisions move industry metrics.
  • Own the platform end‑to‑end : Infra, safety, tooling, telemetry—plus SLOs / error budgets, deep observability, and governed self‑service (maker–checker, promotion, versioning / rollbacks).
  • Trust by design : SOC2, ISO 27001, FFIEC, explainability, and change management are first‑class.
  • Founder‑level impact : Partner with the CEO, lead a US & India org, and set the technical standard for community banking AI.
  • Why now?

  • Timing : Agentic AI demand from FIs is surging—the market is choosing platforms, not point solutions to replace legacy IVR and fragmented chat.
  • Unify the surface area : A single AI layer across customer and employee experiences unlocks faster innovation and measurable outcomes.
  • Momentum to build fast : Strong customer base and pipeline, with compliance foundations in place—ship ambitiously, deploy at scale, and tie results to CSAT, containment, NRR / ARR.
  • What We Offer

  • 100% paid health, dental & vision care
  • 401(k) match & financial wellness perks
  • Discretionary PTO + paid parental leave
  • Remote‑first flexibility
  • Mental health, wellness & family benefits
  • A mission‑driven team shaping the future of banking
  • The opportunity to build and scale a world‑class technology organization at the intersection of AI and financial services.
