The Role

We’re hiring a CTO to lead all aspects of engineering at Vetted. You will be the CEO’s counterpart—while the CEO leads product strategy and design, you will own engineering execution, technical vision, and team performance. You’ll lead our team of 9 engineers (mostly senior) and 1 QA, and scale the engineering org as we expand product lines and handle increasing system complexity.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, has scaled systems and teams before, and can build for performance, reliability, and agility.

What You’ll Own

- Engineering Vision & Execution
- Define and drive the technical strategy, ensuring it's aligned with business goals and built for scale and speed.
- Team Leadership & Growth
- Lead, mentor, and grow the engineering team. Implement a culture of ownership, speed, and accountability.
- Systems Architecture
- Own decisions around architecture (currently monolith) and tech stack evolution. Navigate trade-offs to balance short-term velocity with long-term scalability.
- Engineering Operations
- Build processes for monitoring, deployment, QA, and incident management. Ensure high uptime and fast iteration.
- Collaboration with Product & Design
- Partner closely with the CEO to bring new products and features to life. Turn ideas into stable, high-performing software.
- Hiring & Team Structure
- Recruit top-tier engineers, define team structure, and build a resilient, high-performance engineering org.

What We’re Looking For

- Proven experience as CTO or VP of Engineering at a fast-scaling startup
- Deep technical expertise—can design scalable architecture and still code when needed
- Track record building and leading senior teams
- Excellent communication—able to partner with product/design and influence company-wide priorities
- Strong judgment—knows when to ship fast vs. refactor
- Experience in B2 B Saa S or marketplaces a big plus
- Bonus: experience with healthcare, recruiting tech, or data-intensive products

Why Join Us

- Direct partnership with the CEO and ownership over the entire engineering function
- A highly technical team that moves fast
- Impactful product with clear business value and a growing customer base
- Real autonomy, no bureaucracy, and a bias toward action
- Opportunity to shape the company’s next chapter
