Curiox Biosystems is hiring a Vice President, Technology to provide senior technical leadership directly to the CEO. You will own system-level architecture across hardware, software, workflow automation, and AI to ensure the platform scales coherently and supports global growth.
What You'll Do
- Own and enforce architecture discipline across all product initiatives—hardware, firmware, software, cloud, and AI.
- Define system boundaries and interface contracts before development begins.
- Formalize the definition of 'architecturally complete' across all product lines.
- Institutionalize failure-mode anticipation as a standard practice before implementation.
- Implement AI-assisted requirement expansion and stress testing of system logic.
- Eliminate patch-based development culture and replace it with architecture-first discipline.
- Ensure no major initiative launches without an architecture review artifact.
- Lead the architecture and delivery of Curiox's next-generation software platform, integrating AI into unified user experiences.
- Define execution models and interface standards that enable scalable, intelligent automation.
- Work with internal teams and external partners to translate AI capability into productized outcomes.
- Ensure software product direction is system-driven, not feature-accumulated.
- Define modular API architecture for third-party robot integration, data pipelines, and partner connectivity.
- Define and govern the development of reusable software components across the product portfolio.
- Integrate hardware, consumables, and software logic into a coherent platform.
- Enable OEM-friendly architecture to support Curiox's partner-led growth model.
- Work closely with R&D, Product, and Commercial teams to align architecture with biological constraints and commercial priorities.
- Contribute to leadership discussions on platform strategy, technical roadmap, and long-term scalability.
- Operate effectively across globally distributed teams in Asia, the US, and Europe.
What We're Looking For
- Senior technical leader with 10+ years in systems architecture, platform engineering, or related disciplines.
- Demonstrated experience designing and owning complex multi-layer systems—hardware, software, workflow, or equivalent.
- Proven ability to define architecture under ambiguity, before all requirements are finalized.
- AI-native operator: experienced using AI as a modeling and requirement-expansion tool, not just an execution aid.
- Platform thinker with experience transitioning a product company toward scalable, modular platform architecture.
- English proficiency at a professional working level—able to lead technical discussions, produce architecture documents, and communicate with global stakeholders.
- Experience leading cross-functional technical teams in complex, multi-disciplinary environments.
Nice to Have
- Background in robotics, automation, or precision instrumentation systems.
- Background in SaaS platforms with hardware dependencies.
- Background in semiconductor, MedTech, or industrial automation systems.
- Background in life science instrumentation.
Team & Environment
You will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and work closely with R&D teams distributed across Singapore, Seoul, and Shanghai. Our culture values clarity of thinking, learning agility, and impact over hierarchy. The team is lean, technically deep, and operates at a pace that rewards clarity over politics.
Work Mode
This is a global role open to candidates based in Singapore, Greater Shanghai, Seoul and vicinity, or Malaysia.
