Chief Technology Officer

About the role

We are seeking a Chief Technology Officer to lead the combined engineering organization through a period of ambitious growth and technological transformation. This is not a maintenance role. It's a mandate to retool how an entire organization builds software, to mentor a talented team through that transition, and to ensure that what we’re building today is designed for the world our users will inhabit tomorrow.

Reporting structure

The role reports directly to the CEO and will own the full technology function: engineering, infrastructure, and technical architecture.

Key responsibilities

• Retool How We Build
• Mentor engineers, product managers, designers, and business operators in new ways of working, making AI fluency a core competency across the org, not just a tooling layer for a few
• Build on the team’s existing foundation of modern tooling, agile practices, and continuous delivery to foster a culture of continuous experimentation where the team is always testing what’s newly possible and incorporating it into how they work
• Build for Tomorrow
• Drive the Technical Side of the Post-Merger Integration
• Own Security and Infrastructure
• Expand What Product Can Imagine

Qualifications

• Experience leading engineering organizations through periods of significant change: post-acquisition integration, rapid scaling, or fundamental retooling
• Hands-on experience integrating AI into engineering workflows
• Urgency and a bias toward speed
• Critical thinking about moats and defensibility
• Data-driven and marketplace-native understanding of the infrastructure that powers discovery, pricing, transactions, and logistics

Nice to have

• Experience with two-sided marketplace platforms, particularly those serving both B2B and B2C audiences
• Familiarity with the art world, luxury goods, or cultural industries
• Background as a technical cofounder or early-stage CTO who has built and shipped product with small, high-output teams
