CTO & Co-founder (Bit Edge)
About The Position
This is a genuine founder opportunity rather than a conventional CTO position. Working alongside the Founder & CEO, you will take ownership of the company's technology strategy, architecture, engineering and product delivery. This is a highly hands-on role. In the early stages, you will write production code, review code, make architectural decisions and help deliver new functionality every week alongside the founder and a full-time developer. As the business grows, you will recruit, mentor and lead the engineering team while remaining closely involved in technical direction and product innovation. We're looking for someone who enjoys building products, solving difficult technical problems, and creating exceptional software. This is an office-based role. During the initial growth phase, the founding team works together in person, five days per week - close, day-to-day collaboration is expected to accelerate product development, decision-making, and company building.
