Vice President, Technology
Location: Remote-friendly — preferred locations are Singapore, Greater Shanghai, Seoul and vicinity, or Malaysia. This role works with R&D teams distributed across Singapore, Seoul, and Shanghai, and location flexibility reflects that operating reality.
Reports to: Chief Executive Officer
Curiox Biosystems is a pioneering life science technology company transforming sample preparation for cell analysis. Listed on the Korea Stock Exchange, Curiox operates globally with R&D and commercial teams across Singapore, Seoul, Shanghai, and Boston. Our breakthrough C-FREE™ Pluto automation platforms eliminate manual centrifugation, enabling faster, more reproducible, and scalable workflows for flow cytometry and single-cell applications. As Curiox scales globally across biopharma, CRO/CDMO, and platform partnerships, we are seeking a Vice President of Technology to institutionalize system-level architecture and lead Curiox's evolution from a product-led innovator to a software-enabled platform company.
Why This Role?
This is a senior leadership role with direct exposure to the CEO and broad influence across Curiox's technical strategy and product direction. You will own system-level architecture across hardware, software, workflow automation, and AI layers — ensuring that Curiox's platform scales coherently, not as a collection of disconnected products.
This role is accountable for architectural discipline, platform coherence, and the technical foundations that will carry Curiox to global scale.
What You'll Do
System-Level Architecture
- Own and enforce architecture discipline across all product initiatives — hardware, firmware, software, cloud, and AI layers.
- Define system boundaries and interface contracts before development begins.
- Formalize the definition of "architecturally complete" across all product lines including Pluto Workstations, Pluto Code, Workflow Wizard, and Antibody Cocktailing Wizard.
- 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.
AI-Driven Product Leadership
- Lead the architecture and delivery of Curiox's next-generation software platform, integrating AI capabilities into unified, workflow-level user experiences.
- Define execution models and interface standards that enable scalable, intelligent automation across Curiox's product portfolio.
- Work with internal teams and external development partners to translate AI capability into coherent, productized outcomes.
- Ensure software product direction is system-driven, not feature-accumulated.
Software-Driven Platform Expansion
- 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, executed through internal teams and external development partners.
- Integrate hardware, consumables, and software logic into a coherent platform.
- Enable OEM-friendly architecture to support Curiox's partner-led growth model.
Cross-Functional Leadership
- Work closely with R&D (including Engineering and BioApplications), Product, and Commercial teams to align architecture decisions 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.
Who You Are
Must-Haves
- 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.
