We are looking for a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) who brings deep technical expertise together with strong business thinking and long-term strategic vision, and who can shape technology as the foundation of a truly global product.

Responsibilities

Technology Strategy & Vision

  • Define and own our long-term technology vision aligned with business goals.
  • Translate company strategy into clear technical roadmaps and execution plans.
  • Balance innovation, speed, scalability, and cost efficiency across all products.
  • Make architecture decisions that support growth, security, and operational excellence.


Business & Product Alignment

  • Act as a strategic partner to the CEO, product, finance, and operations teams.
  • Evaluate business ideas and initiatives from a technical and ROI perspective.
  • Ensure technology enables monetization, scalability, and global expansion.
  • Participate in strategic planning, M&A discussions, and new product launches.


Platform, Architecture & Infrastructure

  • Own system architecture across products, data, and infrastructure.
  • Ensure high availability, security, performance, and scalability.
  • Oversee cloud infrastructure, DevOps, CI/CD, monitoring, and reliability.
  • Lead technical decisions around blockchain, data platforms, and integrations.


Team Leadership & Execution

  • Build, lead, and scale high-performing engineering and infrastructure teams.
  • Set clear standards for engineering quality, delivery, and accountability.
  • Create strong managers and tech leads, not just individual contributors.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, transparency, and continuous improvement.


Process & Operational Excellence

  • Establish efficient development processes, delivery cycles, and governance.
  • Improve predictability of delivery — timelines, risks, and dependencies.
  • Optimize costs, technical debt, and resource allocation.
  • Implement metrics for engineering performance and system health.


Risk, Security & Compliance

  • Own security, data protection, and infrastructure risk management.
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory, financial, and operational requirements.
  • Anticipate technical risks and proactively address them.


Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in engineering leadership roles, including CTO, VP Engineering, or Head of Engineering.
  • Strong technical background with experience in scalable backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and modern architectures.
  • Proven experience working closely with business leaders and influencing strategy.
  • Ability to think in terms of ROI, scalability, trade-offs, and long-term impact, not just technology.
  • Experience building and leading distributed, international engineering teams.
  • Track record of delivering complex products in high-growth environments.
  • Strong decision-making skills in ambiguous, fast-moving contexts.
  • Excellent communication skills — able to explain complex ideas simply.
  • Fluent English (C1+).
  • Experience in fintech, crypto, Web3, or infrastructure-heavy products is a strong plus, but not mandatory.


We Offer

  • Learning support — courses, English classes, conferences (up to 100% reimbursement)
  • Unique loyalty program — corporate digital miners with passive income potential
  • Team retreats — company-sponsored trips to Turkey, Bali, and other locations
  • Memorable internal events and recognition programs
  • Flexible days off — local holidays + sick days + up to 28 vacation days
  • Fully remote setup with flexible working hours
  • Real influence — this role shapes the future of the company, not just the tech stack
