Lloyd Jones
@lloydjones
I am a technology leader and CTO driving product-led growth, scalable engineering teams, and AI-powered SEO solutions.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I’m a technology leader and entrepreneur with over a decade of experience building and scaling remote engineering teams across time zones and sectors including EdTech, Law, Gaming, Sales Engagement, and Fitness.
I co-founded and serve as CTO of an AI-powered SEO automation startup, where I lead product and technical strategy and architected an autonomous AI agent to deliver professional-grade SEO and LLM optimization at scale, addressing an $80B+ market.
Previously I led engineering teams through rapid growth and turnaround: I boosted engineering output by 60–90%, cut P1 incidents by 75%, expanded product reach into major platforms and rescued stalled products to profitable launches, delivering measurable customer and revenue outcomes.
I build high-performing engineering cultures through hiring, career frameworks, mentoring, Agile practices and clear roadmaps, and I combine hands-on architecture and modern stacks (TypeScript, React, Node.js, cloud, Docker, event-driven systems, AI agents) to deliver reliable, scalable products.
