Job description
From PFX’s job post, as they wrote it.
We are looking for a CTO to take full ownership of our technology vision and execution across infrastructure, pipeline, systems, and AI. While experience in post-production, VFX, animation, or media technology is highly valued, we are also open to technology leaders who bring strong operational scale, infrastructure expertise, and a genuine interest in creative workflows and emerging AI technologies.
Read the full description
We are headquartered in Prague and would ideally welcome someone based locally or open to relocating.
THE ROLE
* Own and drive the full technology strategy across Pipeline, IT, Infrastructure, and AI, defining where PFX is going and how we get there
* Stabilise and strengthen our existing technology landscape, ensuring robust, scalable infrastructure and operational excellence across the group
* Lead future-facing innovation initiatives in parallel, including AI adoption, automation, and pipeline evolution
* Serve as a senior strategic partner to the founders on technology investments, architecture decisions, vendor strategy, and build-vs-buy choices
* Lead the technical teams across Pipeline, IT, and AI, and take ownership of pushing key technology projects forward across all studios, from getting buy-in to seeing them through to delivery
* Drive integration and standardisation across a multi-studio, multi-country environment with large data volumes and demanding production workflows
* Ensure technology empowers creative teams and production, never slows them down
* Attract, develop, and retain top technical talent in a competitive market
WHAT YOU BRING
* Proven experience in a senior technology leadership role
* A track record leading infrastructure and systems in high-volume data environments, across distributed teams and mission-critical operations
* Strong command of cloud, storage, networking, security, compute infrastructure, and technical scaling
* Real-world experience with AI strategy and implementation, deploying practical solutions into live production or operational environments
* Background in post-production, VFX, animation, gaming, media tech, SaaS, or similarly complex and data-intensive environments
* Strong people leadership across technical disciplines and multiple geographies
* Business fluency, meaning you can evaluate technology investments, manage costs, and translate complex decisions into clear reasoning
* Fluent English required
WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT
* You have built or led technology organisations through scale, transformation, or integration
* You know how to stabilise and professionalise existing systems before aggressively expanding innovation initiatives
* You can balance operational excellence with long-term strategic development, including AI and automation
* You understand how technology should support high-performance specialist teams and creative or production-driven businesses
* You are excited about AI’s practical impact on workflows, operations, and industry transformation
WHAT WE OFFER
* You’ll be shaping the company, not just executing someone else’s plan
* The chance to define how technology actually works across studio group
* Projects you’ll recognise: Netflix, HBO, Disney, Amazon, plus top-tier European films and campaigns
* A team of people who genuinely care about the craft and want tech that helps them do better work
