CTOs at Scale (NYC): How to Build Your Software Factory

​ONLY for CTOs (and VPE's/Heads of Engineering) at companies with ~85+ engineers.

​How to Build Your Software Factory
A handful of teams have built software factories where no human writes or reads the code. As CTOs at Scale, you've probably seen this in pockets: one team hits 10x, but it doesn't spread. The factory pattern is what makes AI-augmented engineering reproducible across an entire org.

​Let's break down the coordination, verification, and governance layers that turn isolated experiments into organizational capability. Whether you're scaling what works or still searching for the right model, this should be a great conversation.

I'll be interviewing perhaps the smartest person I know on the topic...

​Bob Matsuoka, CTO Duetto
After running an org of >400 as Head of Engineering at TripAdvisor, Bob took 18 months to build his own software factory and understand how agentic coding could work. In January he returned to the CTO role and he's now helping a team of over 100 at Duetto to figure out how to responsibly scale agentic software development in a highly regulated industry.

​​CTOs at Scale is an invite only community for CTOs/VPEs running larger orgs. It is a Gather.dev community, curated by Peter Bell.

​​Join us on Wednesday April 22nd at 8am for the CTOs at Scale breakfast in NoMad, NYC.
