About the role

This is no ordinary CTO position; this is your chance to shape the future of a global SaaS product while staying close to the tech. You will be driving modernization, AI integration, platform scalability, and technical team growth, all while working side by side with senior leadership to turn vision into reality. In your daily day you will also work closely with the CPO and the Product team to ensure tight alignment between technology decisions and product strategy, enabling fast, customer-centric innovation.

You will be the technical torchbearer for our platform, balancing strategic thinking with hands on execution. You will lead our engineering efforts, improve workflows, and guide our evolution as we break into new markets and expand our product’s capabilities.

It is a high impact role in a fun, ambitious, and international environment where your contributions will truly matter.
