Overview
We're looking for a CTO who wants to do more than just lead a tech team - someone who wants to shape how the company thinks, builds, and scales through technology.
You'll be a key part of the leadership team, setting the technical direction and making sure everything we build actually moves the business forward. This role is about combining big-picture thinking with real execution - turning ideas into systems that work, scale, and last.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll define and drive our technology strategy, making sure it aligns with where the company is headed. A big part of your role will be building and developing a high‑performing engineering function, creating a culture people actually want to be part of.
You'll ensure our systems are secure, scalable, and ready for growth, while staying on top of emerging tools and technologies - including knowing when to adopt them and when to avoid unnecessary complexity. You'll collaborate closely with product, commercial, and operational teams, translating ideas into real outcomes and maintaining smooth, reliable, and secure delivery.
You'll introduce the right processes - things like Agile, DevOps, and CI/CD - but in a way that's pragmatic and suited to how we work. You'll also manage budgets, resources, and key technology partnerships, and act as a trusted technical voice for leadership, investors, and other stakeholders.
What We're Looking For
* You've operated at a senior level before (CTO, VP Engineering, or similar)
* You have a strong technical foundation - you understand how things are built, not just how to manage them
* You've helped scale products, platforms, or teams in a growing company
* You're comfortable with modern tech stacks and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
* You understand security, data privacy, and what "good" looks like in production systems
* You're a strong communicator who can bridge technical and non-technical worlds
* You think commercially - you understand how tech decisions impact the business
Nice to Have
* Experience in our industry (e.g. fintech, SaaS, healthtech)
* Background in startups or scale-ups
* Exposure to fundraising, investors, or M&A
* Interest or experience in data, AI, or advanced analytics
What Success Looks Like
* We have a sucsessful platform that scales without constant issues
* The engineering team is strong, motivated, and delivering consistently
* Technology decisions clearly support business growth
* We're continuously improving - not stagnating
What You'll Get
* Competitive salary, plus bonus and/or equity
* Flexibility around how and where you work
* Real ownership and the ability to shape the company's future
* A fast-moving, collaborative environment
* Opportunities to grow as the company grows
