Fractional CTO | Green Orbit Ltd | Initially Equity Only | UK-Based
About Green Orbit
Green Orbit is a Welsh technology company developing SmartFitIQ, an AI-assisted measurement and fit-intelligence platform for workplace PPE and uniforms.
Our aim is simple: better fit, safer people and less waste. With Innovate UK support secured and university collaborations underway, we are looking for a hands-on technical leader to help take the platform through its next stage of development.
The opportunity
This is initially a part-time, equity-only role, with no salary or consultancy fees. Candidates must be UK-based and have the right to work in the UK.
The time commitment, equity allocation and vesting terms will be agreed transparently. Our intention is to move towards a paid, potentially full-time position as funding allows.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical architecture and development priorities for SmartFitIQ.
- Lead and support our developers, coordinating delivery with university partners.
- Guide mobile app development, including scanning and manual measurement pathways.
- Strengthen measurement accuracy, platform reliability, security and scalability.
- Assess and guide development of MotionFitIQ, our planned dynamic fit and movement assessment module.
- Establish clear documentation, code ownership and development standards.
- Support technical due diligence and explain our technology to potential investors and partners.
Qualifications and experience
- Proven experience as a CTO, technical lead or senior software engineer, ideally within a startup.
- A track record of building and launching reliable software products.
- Strong knowledge of mobile applications, cloud architecture, APIs and data security.
- Experience with AI, computer vision or digital measurement would be highly desirable.
- Ability to lead a small development team while remaining hands-on.
- Understanding of UK GDPR and privacy-conscious product development.
- University collaboration or research commercialisation experience would be an advantage.
- A relevant degree is welcome, but practical experience and delivery matter more than formal qualifications.
Who this would suit
Someone who wants meaningful ownership of a company’s technical direction, is comfortable working within an early-stage business and understands the commitment involved in an initially equity-only arrangement.
How to apply
Please message Nick Pocock directly on LinkedIn with a brief introduction, your relevant experience and your availability. Please confirm that you are UK-based, have the right to work in the UK and understand the initial equity-only terms.
