About the Role
The Company is in search of a Founding CTO to play a pivotal role in the development of a modern platform for automated underwriting and commercial mortgage products. The successful candidate will be a hands-on builder, responsible for architecting and developing the underwriting engine and consumer-facing platform. This role demands a true partner who is equally adept at coding and shaping strategic decisions. The CTO will lead the development team, work closely with business leadership on product design, and be instrumental in fundraising and investor relations. A deep expertise in Python, particularly with Django, Flask, or FastAPI, is essential, as is a background in FinTech, with a focus on consumer finance, small-business lending, or real estate finance.
Applicants for the CTO position at the company should have a proven track record in startup leadership, with experience as an early engineer, CTO, or technical founder in a high-growth startup. The role requires a candidate who is not only a technical expert but also a culture builder, capable of creating and sustaining a high-performance engineering and product culture. Familiarity with underwriting systems, including automated underwriting, credit modeling, and risk scoring, is a key requirement. The ideal candidate will be investor-ready, with a history of directly supporting or leading fundraising efforts of at least $10M, and will have a strong background in product launch within regulated or finance-adjacent spaces. The CTO will be expected to translate a significant market opportunity into a scalable, secure technical vision and to work closely with the CEO in managing capital.
