Director, Technology & Data

About Nothing

Nothing exists to make tech feel exciting again.

We’re building a different kind of technology company, one that puts design, emotion, and human creativity at the heart of everything we do. From the way our products look and feel to how we communicate and show up in culture, we believe technology should make you feel something.

Founded in London in 2020, we’ve grown from idea to global challenger in just a few years. Backed by GV (Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, and C Ventures, and investors like Tony Fadell (iPod), Casey Neistat, and Kevin Lin (Twitch), we’re now sold in 40+ markets with millions of users worldwide.

About the Team

We're building the internal technology foundation to match our global ambitions. You'll span IT and ops, data, security and compliance, and the engineering behind nothing.tech. Right now the hardest problems are trust: data the business can actually rely on, compliance programmes that work across multiple regions, and systems that hold up as we scale. This role leads all of it.

What You'll Do

• Build a reliable data platform : infrastructure, tooling, and the governance that makes data useful day to day

• Own data privacy and regulatory compliance across multiple regions, including GDPR, and drive implementation across the whole company

• Hire and develop the leaders beneath you, including a Head of Engineering for D2C and a Head of Security

• Set the direction across IT and ops, data, security, and D2C engineering and own all four

• Drive IT and ops into shape: global office infrastructure, identity management, endpoint tooling, and a Salesforce migration that needs to land

• Deploy AI across the business in ways that change how we operate. Real tools in use, not prototypes collecting dust

• Oversee the backend engineering behind nothing.tech, keeping the team sharp, the stack reliable, and the roadmap moving

What We're Looking For

• A track record owning IT and corporate systems at a consumer brand or scale-up: ERP migrations, global rollouts, the unglamorous work that keeps a company running. You've done it, not just overseen it

• The judgement to walk into a technology function with no clear owner and know where to start. You diagnose fast and move faster

• Experience building a data function from scratch: infrastructure, tooling, governance. You've made it something teams rely on rather than route around

• Hands-on experience with data privacy regulation, particularly GDPR. You've driven compliance programmes that stick across an organisation, not just sat in legal reviews

• A track record shipping AI tools inside a business that changed how it operates. You know the model landscape, the agent frameworks, and where they break

• Security and compliance confidence across multiple regions. You know what good looks like and you can hire and manage the person who delivers it

• A hiring record you're proud of. The leverage in this role is the team you build. You know how to find strong technical leaders and develop them once they're in

How We Work

• Location: London (Kings Cross and Farringdon offices)

• Working Pattern: This is a full-time, in-office role (5 days a week). We move fast, and that means being physically present. We design flexibility around personal needs, but we focus on the magic that sparks when we're all in the same room.

• Commute: We ask that you live within a 60-minute commute of your home office location.
