PRONTA
PRONTA is an AI-native platform for shoot-day and complex group logistics, starting with UK TV production and expanding to group travel, retreats, and offsites. Call sheets hold sensitive schedules and personal contacts, and production days can't fail. Our product runs on two non-negotiables:
🔒 Security first. All data is held in Europe, and no third-party tools touch data we don't control.
📶 It never breaks. It has to work on set with zero signal.
We're looking for an experienced fractional CTO to take technical ownership of the product.
Phase 1:
Full technical audit (fixed scope, 2–4 weeks)
- Review the entire codebase, architecture, infrastructure, and dependencies
- Assess security, data residency, GDPR posture, and offline reliability
- Identify technical debt, risks, and quick wins
- Deliver a written report with a prioritized roadmap
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Phase 2:
Ongoing maintenance and leadership (monthly retainer)
- Own stability, security patching, monitoring, and releases
- Advise on architecture as we add AI features, such as document parsing and image-based risk assessment
- Review or manage any other developers and freelancers
- Act as the technical voice with partners and, later, investors
You'll have:
- Previous CTO, head of engineering, or senior lead experience on a live SaaS product
- Strong security credentials, with experience of GDPR and EU data residency
- Experience building offline-first or mobile-reliable apps
- Comfort working async and independently with a founder
- Bonus: experience with AI/LLM integrations, and familiarity with film and TV production

Setup:
Remote, contract. The audit is a fixed fee, followed by a retainer of roughly X days a month.
To apply,
Send a short note, one relevant example of a codebase you've audited or rescued, and your day rate. Posts that say "send a link" or "DM me" get a lot of spam, so ask for specific things like these.
