Job Description

Looking to own the product and technical direction of a heavily-backed, highly successful scale-up?

Backed by top-tier VCs including Sequoia Asia and Airtree, this incredibly exciting B2B SaaS startup is ticking all of the right boxes with customers who love them.

Now, they need an a product-minded Chief Technology Officer to take them to the next level. You will lead a small, world-class senior engineering team, establish structured delivery processes and everything necessary to support their huge scale.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Owning the product roadmap and establishing formal delivery processes, defining clear criteria to reduce cycle time from feature ideation to production.
  • Leading and coordinating an elite, self-managing engineering team through influence and architectural alignment, ensuring 100% retention and smooth scaling.
  • Translating customer feedback and trust-building insights into high-impact, beautifully simple product features.
  • Architecting and executing the primary “next-best-action” features.
  • Navigate at pace with clarity and confidence: making decisive technical bets, knowing when to hold and pivot, and keeping the engineering team anchored and energised through constant change.
  • Own AI and infrastructure direction and cost discipline
  • And having fun whilst doing it !!!

What you’ll bring to the team:

  • Strong software architecture and technical leadership—guiding engineers on system design, technical trade-offs, and platform scalability, while remaining fluent enough to audit code or step “on the tools” when/if necessary.
  • B2B SaaS product taste, with experience in customer-journey translation and structured roadmapping.
  • The confidence to respectfully challenge the founders and senior engineers on product and technical decisions rather than taking requirements verbatim.
  • Deep customer empathy and the influence to lead a team to even greater greatness!

What else is offered:

  • Founder-Level Upside Without the Stress: A rare chance to secure a massive equity stakewithout the burden of raising capital, running sales, or worrying about business survival.
  • World-Class Peers: Lead a phenomenal, low-ego team of highly autonomous senior engineers who are excited to meet you.
  • The Culture: High-velocity, extremely collaborative, and built on collaborative culture that delivers huge value to amazing customers.
