Remote flexibility

Work from home

This is a remote role, but the employee must be based in United Kingdom. It is work from home rather than work from anywhere.

What the employer says

  • Source listing states candidate location: "Remote - UK, Remote, UK"

What Nomaders makes of it

  • Residency required in United Kingdom
  • Payroll and tax are likely handled in that country only

The quotes above are the employer's own words; the reading is ours. Always check the original listing and employment terms before working from another country.

Before you apply

Questions worth asking: Nomaders interpretation

  • The advert does not say where you can be based. Ask which countries they can legally employ or contract you from.
  • No pay is stated. Ask for the salary range before investing time in interviews.
  • The advert does not say whether this is employment or a contractor arrangement. Ask, as it affects tax and benefits.

About the role

MinIO is the data and memory foundation for enterprise AI. Built for the speed, scale, and economics that AI and analytics demand, AIStor and MemKV unify every layer of the data stack, from agentic and inference context memory to tables and objects across core, edge, and cloud. Trusted by 77% of the Fortune 100, MinIO is redefining how AI factories, intelligent applications, and autonomous agents secure, persist, and unlock the full value of their data.

We are seeking a highly technical, visionary, and customer-centric Field CTO to act as our premier technical ambassador. In this role, you will bridge the gap between MinIO鈥檚 engineering innovation and the strategic business needs of our largest, most complex enterprise customers. As a Field CTO, you will engage in peer-to-peer conversations with enterprise C-suites (CIOs, CTOs, CDOs) and lead architectural discussions with principal engineers. A deep, hands-on understanding of modern AI architectures (LLMs, RAG, deep learning pipelines) and modern analytics data systems (Iceberg, Delta Lake, Trino, Spark) is mandatory. You will not only evangelize MinIO鈥檚 capabilities but also act as a trusted advisor, helping organizations architect their data infrastructure to support next-generation workloads.

What You Will Do

Executive Advisory & Evangelism: Act as a trusted technical advisor to C-level executives at Fortune 500 companies. Articulate the strategic value of high-performance object storage in the context of AI readiness and data democratization.

Architectural Leadership: Design and validate complex, large-scale architectures for enterprise customers. Guide them in integrating MinIO seamlessly into their AI/ML pipelines and modern data lakehouse ecosystems.

Industry Thought Leadership: Represent MinIO at major industry conferences, webinars, and meetups. Write technical whitepapers, reference architectures, and blog posts focusing on the intersection of object storage, generative AI, and modern analytics.

Pre-Sales & Post-Sales Strategic Support: Partner closely with enterprise sales and customer success teams on high-stakes deals. Unblock technical objections and provide strategic guidance during Proof of Concepts (PoCs) and large-scale deployments.

Product Strategy Feedback Loop: Serve as the "voice of the customer" to MinIO鈥檚 product and engineering teams. Distill market trends, customer pain points, and emerging AI/Analytics patterns into actionable product requirements.

Your Skills and Experience

10+ years of experience in technical leadership roles (e.g., Enterprise Architect, Chief Architect, VP of Engineering, or previous Field CTO).

Demonstrated experience in a customer-facing or evangelist capacity, successfully presenting to both highly technical audiences and C-level business executives.

AI & Machine Learning Architectures:

Deep architectural understanding of Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) , including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows and vector databases (e.g., Milvus, Qdrant, Pinecone).

Strong knowledge of AI/ML data pipelines and frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Ray, Hugging Face).

Understanding of hardware bottlenecks in AI, specifically the challenge of feeding data to GPUs (GPU data starvation) and how high-throughput storage solves this.

Modern Analytics & Data Systems:

Expertise in Open Table Formats (Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi, Delta Lake) and their integration with object storage.

Proficiency with modern query engines and compute frameworks (Trino, Presto, Apache Spark, Flink, StarRocks).

Solid grasp of the evolution from traditional data warehouses to modern Data Lakehouse architectures.

Infrastructure & Cloud-Native Tech:

Strong command of Kubernetes, containerization, and cloud-native orchestration.

Deep understanding of the AWS S3 API, RESTful APIs, and distributed systems design.
