Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

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 and incentive plan linked to Fourvenues’ global growth and the achievement of company-wide, individual and team objectives.
• Hybrid and flexible working model, built on trust, accountability, and measurable impact.
• Global growth environment, with direct influence on international expansion and strategic business decisions.
• Leadership and professional development programmes offering continuous learning opportunities.
• Culture of wellbeing and high performance, including private health insurance, additional vacation days, and modern offices designed for collaboration.
• High-impact internal experiences and events that strengthen cohesion, professional growth, and a strong sense of belonging.
• Language classes and flexible benefits tailored to your personal and professional needs.
• Real opportunity to make an impact, driving the transformation of a scaling project into an international benchmark within its industry.
