The role

Technology is at the heart of everything we do. As we continue to scale and accelerate our expansion into the US, we're looking for a Chief Technology Officer to lead our Engineering organisation into its next phase of growth.

As our CTO, you'll report directly to our Founder/CEO and be responsible for the overall Engineering organisation, delivery, people, and operational excellence. You'll lead an international Engineering team across Amsterdam and Sri Lanka (20+ engineers), creating an environment where high-performing teams can thrive while delivering a reliable, scalable platform.

You'll work in close partnership with our Chief Product Officer (CPO) to ensure Product and Engineering operate as one team. Together, you'll translate customer needs into scalable, high-quality solutions, bringing a strong customer-centric mindset to everything we build.

This is a leadership role first and foremost. We're looking for a genuine people leader who is passionate about building, coaching, and growing high-performing teams. You'll create clarity, develop leaders, empower engineers, and foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, continuous learning, and accountability. You believe that outstanding technology is built by outstanding people.

You'll also work very closely with our Principal Engineer, who owns the technical vision, architecture, and engineering craftsmanship. While the Principal Engineer drives technical direction, you'll focus on building a world-class Engineering organisation, enabling delivery, scaling the team, and creating the conditions for technical excellence to flourish
