Chief Technology Officer

Engineering strategy and architecture * Define and own the technical vision and architecture strategy for Fourvenues * Ensure the platform scales reliably across multiple countries * Establish technical standards, decision-making frameworks, and documentation practices that distribute knowledge and reduce single-person dependencies * Own the technical roadmap working alongside with the product roadmap — planning and protecting engineering capacity for both delivery and platform health * Manage technical debt deliberately as a strategic decision, not an afterthought Engineering leadership and people development * Lead, manage, coach, and develop the full engineering organisation * Establish clear role definitions across engineering  * Build a culture of genuine technical ownership — where engineers have real authority commensurate with their responsibility * Run a meaningful 1:1 and feedback cadence — developing leaders, not just managing delivery * Build career development frameworks for engineers at every level * Create the conditions where senior technical talent can do their best work — protecting time for analysis, architecture, and craft without impacting organisational needs  * Recruit and continuously raise the technical bar across the engineering organisation Engineering delivery and operational excellence * Own engineering delivery — shipping reliably, predictably, and at the quality the market expects * Establish planning rhythms and protect them — sprint planning, technical analysis before development begins, retrospectives, and delivery reviews * Define and enforce clear escalation standards — what is a genuine hotfix, what is not, and how unplanned work is managed * Drive DevOps, CI/CD, and platform reliability practices across the organisation * Ensure platform security and infrastructure are managed as strategic priorities * Distribute critical knowledge across the team — no system or access should depend on a single individual * Champion the pragmatic adoption of AI tooling across engineering workflows — code generation, automated testing, observability, and incident response — embedding it as standard practice where it creates genuine leverage Product and engineering alignment * Work as a genuine peer to the CPO — building a trust-based relationship where product and engineering make decisions together * Ensure engineering has a voice when features and priorities are defined — not just when they arrive for estimation * Establish clear decision rights at the product-engineering interface * Embed technical analysis as a standard step before development begins * Champion quality as the fastest path — not as a blocker to speed Executive leadership * Work and collaborate as a member of Fourvenues’ leadership team * Partner with the CEO on engineering investment, and technology strategy * Surface risks and hard truths early — this organisation needs a CTO who tells it straight * 10+ years in engineering leadership, with at least 3 years as CTO, VP Engineering, or equivalent in B2B SaaS * Proven track record scaling engineering through international growth  * Specific experience building engineering ownership structures — distributing technical authority, defining Tech Lead and Team Lead roles, reducing single-person dependencies — non-negotiable * Experience transitioning engineering teams from reactive feature delivery to structured, technically-led development — non-negotiable * Strong track record working as a peer to product leadership — aligning on priorities and decision rights * Deep technical credibility earned through knowledge and judgement, not authority * Familiarity with modern SaaS stacks, CI/CD, and observability tooling, with enough technical depth to guide architecture and challenge decisions. * Practical experience embedding AI tooling into engineering workflows — code assistance, automated testing, and observability * Strong people leadership — you develop engineers into leaders * Experience in founder-led or high-growth environments where structure was being built * Fluent English and Spanish * Vertical SaaS, hospitality, or events technology experience a strong plus * Builder mentality, commercial awareness, and instinctive delegator * Competitive compensation aligned with the role and level of responsibility. * Annual bonus
