I-Net Software Solutions is a UK-headquartered technology company delivering IT consulting, software engineering, and innovative digital products across the UK, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa, powered by a high-velocity engineering organisation of 200+ developers in India. Operating on a “Local Strategy, Global Engineering” model, we combine on-the-ground client partnership with around-the-clock delivery.

We serve regulated, high-stakes industries including insurance, healthcare, and banking, and we are a Crown Commercial Service (CCS) G-Cloud 14 supplier to the UK public sector. Our work spans software development, AI & machine learning, cloud transformation, cybersecurity, UI/UX, and managed IT services. We are also an ISO-certified, Cyber Essentials and AWS-aligned partner trusted by clients with a 93% retention rate.

Crucially, we are now scaling beyond services into our own technology products — including Onsurance, our next-generation insurtech platform for policy comparison, aggregation, and management. This is the frontier we are hiring this role to lead.

We are seeking a hands-on, product-minded Chief Technology Officer to own the technology vision and engineering execution behind I-Net’s product portfolio. This is a product-led mandate: your primary focus is turning our in-house platforms (starting with Onsurance) from beta into scalable, secure, commercially successful products, while shaping the engineering culture, architecture, and talent that make that possible.

You will be the most senior technology leader in the business, bridging our UK product and commercial teams with our India-based engineering force. You will set technical direction, make build-versus-buy and architecture decisions, and be personally credible in the room with engineers, customers, regulators, and investors alike.

• Own the product technology vision: define and drive the multi-year technical roadmap for I-Net’s own products (Onsurance and future platforms), aligned to commercial goals and market opportunity.
• Lead build vs. buy decisions: evaluate and select architectures, platforms, and third-party technologies that balance speed-to-market, cost, and long-term scalability.
• Translate market needs into roadmap: partner with product, commercial, and founding teams to convert customer and market insight into prioritised, shippable engineering plans.
• Champion AI & data: embed AI/ML and intelligent automation into our products to create defensible differentiation and measurable customer value.

• Take products from beta to scale: lead the engineering effort to mature Onsurance and other platforms into robust, multi-tenant, production-grade products.
• Own architecture: design and govern scalable, secure, cloud-native architectures (AWS), with strong CI/CD, infrastructure automation, and observability.
• Drive engineering quality: establish standards for code quality, automated testing, performance, and release management across the product organisation.
• Stay hands-on where it counts: remain close to the codebase and architecture; lead by technical example, not only by org chart.

• Own product security: embed security-by-design across the SDLC, protecting customer and policyholder data in line with our cybersecurity posture.
• Ensure regulatory readiness: build products that meet the compliance demands of insurance, healthcare, banking, and UK public sector engagements (e.g. GDPR, G-Cloud, ISO, Cyber Essentials).
• Manage technical risk: identify, communicate, and mitigate architectural, operational, and vendor risks to the leadership team.

• Lead globally: direct and grow distributed…
