The Company
We are a well-funded team of experienced founders building a mission-critical B2B SaaS platform in the connectivity/telecom space. Our product addresses a real, pressing issue for global enterprises, one that affects millions of workers and companies operating across borders.
Company Profile:
- Founded by operators with proven track records
- Series A funded with strong investor backing
- Operating across multiple markets globally
- Moving fast, shipping with urgency, staying lean
- Not corporate. Not bureaucratic. Built on autonomy, trust, and ownership.
Why We’re Hiring:
We’ve achieved strong product-market fit and are scaling rapidly. We need an experienced CTO to lead the engineering function end-to-end, someone who can build a high-performing team, own the technical roadmap, and be the critical technical voice as we accelerate growth.
The Role: CTO
This is a hands-on early-stage technology leadership role. You’ll set the vision, architecture, and technical culture while remaining involved in development initially as the team scales. You move fast, think pragmatically, and can balance building with leading.
This role is not for:
- Someone looking for heavy structure or formal processes
- Pure architects who don’t code
- People comfortable with unlimited budgets and big teams
- Those who need a management layer above them
This role is for:
- A seasoned technical leader from a fast-growing B2B SaaS environment
- Someone who thrives in ambiguity and moves with bias for action
- A builder who wants to own both strategy and execution
- A person with real scale-up experience (not corporate)
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Architecture
- Own engineering: architecture, velocity, quality, hiring
- Define the long-term technical vision and roadmap
- Architect scalable systems for enterprise clients globally
- Make pragmatic decisions balancing speed vs. scalability
- Establish engineering best practices and delivery metrics
- Ensure technology choices solve real problems
Hands-On Technical Leadership (Early Stage)
- Remain technically close to the product and architecture, with the ability to dive deep when needed to unblock teams or validate decisions.
- Support engineers through technical reviews, pairing, and mentoring
- Hands-on involvement is expected at the architectural and technical decision level, with coding involvement driven by context rather than expectation.
- Ensure end-to-end delivery quality across the engineering organization.
- Ensure strong engineering execution as the team grows
Scaling & Team Building
- Hire and develop a high-performing engineering team
- Build a culture of ownership, speed, and customer obsession
- Introduce lightweight processes that support scale, not slow it
- Mentor engineers and support their growth
Cross-Functional Leadership
- Partner with founders on product, operations, and commercial strategy
- Translate business priorities into technical execution
- Work with telecom providers, integrations, and external partners
- Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Who You Are
Essential Experience
- Leadership: Previously led engineering as Head of Engineering, CTO, Principal Engineer, or VP Engineering (or equivalent)
- Scale-up background: Real experience in fast-growing startups with real constraints (scrappy, lean, resource-conscious, not unlimited-budget corporates)
- B2B SaaS expertise: Built or scaled enterprise-grade platforms, not consumer apps
- Proven scaling: Demonstrated success scaling engineering teams, systems, and processes
- Track record: You’ve seen companies grow from Series A → Series C, or similar high-growth trajectory
Technical Foundation
- You have hands-on experience with:
- React + TypeScript and modern frontend patterns
- Python or Node.js (FastAPI/Flask a plus)
- PostgreSQL and solid database design fundamentals
- Docker, CI/CD, and cloud platforms (GCP preferred)
- Comfort across frontend, backend, and infrastructure at a high level
Mindset & How You Work
- Founder mentality: Extreme ownership, bias for action, comfort with ambiguity
- Pragmatic: Choose the right tool for the real problem, not the “cool” tool
- Autonomous: You operate well without detailed instructions or heavy process
- Strong communicator: Can explain technical decisions to founders and enterprise customers
- Customer-focused: You understand that we exist to solve real problems for global companies
- Motivated by impact: Building something hard and useful energizes you
Why Join
- Build something important: Fix a real, painful global problem that affects millions of workers
- Work with experienced founders: They know how to build and ship, not just talk about it
- Move fast and own big decisions: You see the impact of your work immediately
- High autonomy & trust: We trust you to make technical calls; we don’t micromanage
- Meaningful equity: You’re a key technical leader; your stake reflects that
- Strong product focus: We’re not building “another API wrapper,” we’re building a platform
- Remote-first, CET-focused: Build with people across Europe; no commute noise
