About The Position

We are seeking a business-minded Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to lead our technology strategy and product evolution from a growth stage into market maturity. This role operates at the intersection of HealthTech, FinTech, and LegalTech. The CTO will inherit a talented team of approximately 30 individuals, including Tech Leads, Product Managers, Designers, and engineers, distributed across LATAM and the US. A key initiative for this role will be merging the independent product lines and infrastructures of four related companies into one unified, elegant, and secure ecosystem. This is a role for a High-Complexity Generalist who thrives on technical orchestration, creative problem-solving, and empathetic team building.

Requirements

10+ years of progressive technology leadership.
Proven track record of scaling B2B SaaS products from early development to maturity.
M&A / multi-platform integration experience: merging independent product lines, disparate codebases, and disconnected teams into one engineering unit.
Legacy-code mastery: modernizing legacy architectures and systematically dismantling technical debt.
Product-minded engineering edge: connects engineering deeply to product design and the human 'user journey' — understands data schemas and UX alike.
High emotional intelligence: navigating transitions, mediating across technical egos, building trust-based cultures.
Cloud architecture expertise: hands-on with secure cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), data management, and PII/HIPAA-compliant environments.
Excellent communication skills: able to translate complex engineering into clear business outcomes for non-technical stakeholders.
Authorized to work in the United States.
Able to work core US Eastern Time hours.

Nice To Haves

Direct experience in HealthTech, FinTech, LegalTech, or highly regulated operational marketplaces.
Experience inside a US-based startup or growth-stage SaaS company while managing distributed remote teams in Latin America.
Background in contract lifecycle management (CLM) or multi-party transaction platforms.
Familiarity with internationalization/localization of software platforms.

Responsibilities

Act as a strategic business partner, serving as a peer and trusted advisor to the CEO and CFO.
Master the business model and regulatory boundaries of every product line, bringing business-driven questions, rigorous data, and structured options to the executive table.
Mentor and empower 'mini-CTOs' with high EQ, transparency, and stability, protecting and evolving a culture of continuity and psychological safety.
Treat each Tech Lead as an autonomous owner of their domain while aligning them under one architectural vision.
Champion the necessary team structures, such as dedicated Product Owners.
Audit and deeply understand the infrastructures across legacy applications.
Refactor, upgrade, and stabilize legacy applications, resolving technical debt without halting product velocity.
Orchestrate the integration of internal platforms, external APIs, and banking escrow systems into a cohesive, secure, bulletproof infrastructure.
Drive customer-facing AI initiatives, such as predictive matching, automated document drafting, and smarter workflow usability, with the judgment to know when AI is the appropriate tool.
