Chief Technology Officer

• Determine how a problem is solved technically and take responsibility for that solution to the team and the client.
• Present alternative solutions with trade-offs, rather than a single, ready-made answer.
• Analyze estimates and timelines: understand what they consist of and where the risks lie.
• Set the company’s engineering standards. Not rules for the sake of rules, but systems and code that are easy for both humans and agents to work with going forward.

• Work directly with agents, not through developers.
• Design the entire pipeline: task definition, generation, cross-review using different models, and automated testing.
• Identify the points where the decision rests with a human, and consciously reduce their number.
• Restructure the development process based on causes, not symptoms: identify duplication of work, improper task allocation, and gaps between adjacent areas.
• Take responsibility for the final quality of the result, including architectural integrity across a long series of changes.
• Analyze project data and identify exactly where the team is wasting time.

• Make technical decisions that project managers are currently forced to take on.
• Be responsible for the team’s technical growth and its development trajectory

Clients

• Join meetings on an as-needed basis when it’s necessary to explain or justify a technical decision to the client’s technical representative.
• Regular communication with clients remains the responsibility of the managers.

What’s important to us:

• Experience and leadership: 8+ years in engineering with a strong background in development, including 3+ years in a role such as Tech Lead, Head of Engineering, or CTO, where you were directly responsible for the team’s architectural and technical decisions.
• AI in Development: Real-world experience over the past two years. Not just using AI assistants, but also restructuring processes around AI agents.
• Process Transformation: Hands-on experience restructuring development workflows, rather than just working within existing guidelines.
• Product Judgment: The ability to decide not only how to do something, but also what exactly is worth doing.
• Technical expertise: e-commerce and complex web applications as the core stack, plus integrations, infrastructure, and data handling.
• English: Fluent, for presenting and defending technical solutions to U.S. client stakeholders.

What we offer:

• Autonomy and influence: independence in technical decision-making, the opportunity to shape the company’s engineering standards and processes from the ground up.
• Challenges and market: complex projects for the U.S. market and direct dialogue with clients’ technical experts.
• AI-native environment: access to top-tier tools and the integration of agents into actual development, not just presentations.
• Format: full-time, with a focus on the Central European Time zone.
