🏢 About Sitemate
Sitemate builds best-in-class software and AI agents for the built world, helping construction, infrastructure and industrial companies work smarter and faster. Our mission is to multiply the engineering power of the built world.
Storm is the #1 data capture agent for the front line of the built world - converting audio, photos and videos into clean structured records.
With conversational support in-app and across SMS, Whatsapp and phone calls, Storm is shifting front line workers from paperwork and clunky digital forms, to natural language and multi-channel data capture.
Our core platforms are Dashpivot (safety, quality and field reporting), Gearbelt (fleet and asset management), Flowsite (no-code integrations), and the Sitemate mobile app for every worker on site.
We have strong product-market fit, generating thousands of new leads per month through word of mouth and organic channels. We are backed by Blackbird, with 200 people across 18+ countries and entities in Australia, the UK, the US and Canada.
🚀 Why this role exists now
Sitemate’s product stack has evolved for the AI era - broken down into Platform, SaaS and Agent.
The question in front of us is no longer what we can build - it is how fast and how safely our delivery system turns what engineers and agents produce into shipped, trusted outcomes for customers.
This role owns that system, and the people who run it.
📝 The role
Sitemate's CTO owns technical direction and engineering execution across the business and is a member of the executive team.
This is a hands-on, builder-first executive role - you build systems that enable engineers to bring the company’s technology strategy to life.
You ship alongside your team, and set the technical bar through your own work.
