We are looking for an exceptional Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to lead the development of a cutting-edge Web3 influencer marketing platform. This is a high-intensity, hands-on role for someone who is deeply committed to building a scalable and innovative productânot for those looking for a 9-to-5 job.
Requirements From the Start:
- Flawless Englishâboth written and spoken. Clear communication is a must.
- Ability to work in the CET time zoneâwe need someone who can fully align with our team and workflow.
- Willingness to work hard and be hands-onâthis is not just a leadership role; you must actively contribute to coding and technical problem-solving.
The ideal candidate has a strong background in Web3 and Web2 technologies, experience in scaling SaaS or marketplace platforms, and a strategic mindset to drive technical innovation. You will oversee smart contract development, platform architecture, and the transition from an external MVP team to an in-house tech team.
Key Responsibilities
1. Platform Development & Technical Strategy
- Oversee the development and scaling of a Web3-enabled influencer marketing platform.
- Define the technical roadmap for V1 & V2, focusing on automation, AI-driven analytics, and fiat integration.
- Ensure seamless integration of smart contract escrow payments, campaign management, and analytics tools.
- Be hands-on with coding and lead by example.
2. Smart Contract & Blockchain Architecture
- Collaborate with Web3 developers to build secure and efficient smart contract solutions for payments and OTC deals.
- Oversee a smart contract audit to ensure security and regulatory compliance.
- Optimize transaction efficiency and minimize gas fees for user interactions.
3. In-House Development Team Formation
- Recruit, onboard, and manage an in-house development team (2 frontend, 2 backend, 1 DevOps).
- Transition from external MVP developers to an internal tech team for long-term growth.
- Implement agile development processes for continuous iteration and platform enhancements.
4. AI & Data Optimization (Future Roadmap)
- Develop AI-powered influencer matching & campaign analytics for automated insights.
- Build advanced reporting and analytics tools to provide brands with detailed campaign performance data, engagement tracking, and conversion insights.
- Integrate fraud detection mechanisms to identify fake influencers and low-quality engagements.
- While the initial focus is a web-based platform, we may develop a mobile app in the future.
5. Technical Leadership & Compliance
- Work alongside legal and compliance teams to ensure KYC/AML integration and regulatory adherence.
- Maintain a high-performance and scalable infrastructure for influencer-brand interactions.
- Drive technical due diligence for future expansion into fintech, AI, and Web3 verticals.
Required Skills & Experience
- 10+ years in software development, with at least 3+ years in a CTO, Lead Engineer, or similar leadership role.
- Experience building & scaling a SaaS, marketplace, or fintech platform.
- Deep understanding of smart contracts (Solidity, Rust) and blockchain infrastructure (Ethereum, Solana, L2s, etc.).
- Perfect Englishâyou must be able to clearly articulate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
- Ability to work in the CET time zoneâthis is mandatory.
- Proficiency in backend development (Node.js, Python, Go) and frontend frameworks (React, Vue.js, Next.js).
- Experience with cloud architecture & DevOps (AWS, GCP, or similar).
- Strong problem-solving mindset and willingness to work hard and be hands-on with coding.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in AI/ML-driven analytics.
- Previous experience working in Web3, DeFi, or fintech industries.
Why Join?
- Lead the development of a next-generation Web3 marketplace in a high-growth industry.
- Equity compensation and competitive salary for a long-term leadership role.
- Work with seasoned professionals in branding, marketing, and business development.
- Be at the forefront of Web3 marketing innovation, shaping the future of influencer engagement.
- No bureaucracy, no slow-moving corporate cultureâjust a team of builders creating something impactful.
If youâre looking for a 9-to-5 job, this is not for you. We need builders who care deeply about creating something exceptional and are willing to put in the effort to make it happen.
