Chief Technology Officer

Our client is building the first programmable-bandwidth supernetwork - an infrastructure that transforms millions of users' idle internet connections into real-time, multimodal data streams (text, video, audio) for AI systems and enterprise use cases.
Every day, users become nodes in a decentralized network that leverages their bandwidth to fetch public web data at massive scale.

You have: 15+ yearsof experience in engineering, with 3+ years in high-impact roles (CTO, founder, or senior tech lead) in high-caliber infra startups or infra-driven orgsShipped and scaled infra-heavy systems used by hundreds of thousands (ideally millions) of users or devicesMastery of systems design, distributed architectures, and data pipelines.Deep understanding of modern cloud infra, storage, DevOps, and unit economics at scaleA track record of hiring, growing, and leading senior technical teamsStrong technical judgment: can move fast and think outside the box to find solutionsComfortable representing tech in VC calls, investor Q&As, and technical public speakingBonus: Familiarity or experience with AI infra, Web3 primitives, residential IP networks, proxy companies, or DePIN Key Responsibilities
Vision & Tech Strategy:
• Set a unified roadmap (infra, data, scalability) that tracks directly to the business vision and Hub's evolving B2B Demand Pipeline.
• Spot paradigm shifts, AI, data at scale, DePIN, programmable bandwidth, and spin up PoCs when needed, then turn proven bets into production-ready, at-scale solutions.
• Select and manage technology partners (cloud, GPU hardware, open-source Web3) to maximise efficiency and control cost.

Scalable Architecture & Infrastructure:
• Design and document an ultra-robust, massively-scalable network & infrastructure capable of moving from zero to millions of devices while maintaining high availability, resilience and B2B-driven scraping capacity.
• Oversee a petabyte-scale data pipeline: ingest, store and deliver both real-time and batch feeds with best-in-class unit economics.
• Lay the operational foundation, monitoring, observability and automated deployments, to support friction-free growth.
• Define the cloud / hybrid strategy in line with cost and regulatory constraints, and approve stack & pattern choices (languages, micro-services, databases, caches…).

Governance & Org Tech:
• Hire, inspire and grow a multi-disciplinary team (backend, data, DevOps, etc).
• Maintain Lean/Agile rituals, clear KPIs, OKRs, and a disciplined, predictable delivery culture.
• Industrialise the SDLC (CI/CD, automated tests, quality gates) and own production KPIs (SLO, MTTR).
• Steer budget, total cost of ownership and up-skilling in lock-step with the roadmap.

Data Products, R&D & Market Feedback:
• Translate customer needs into precise technical requirements (formats, SLAs, integrations) in partnership with Sales & Data, ensuring deal-winning compatibility and long-term maintainability.
• Run a continuous R&D loop: explore, prototype and benchmark new tactics/tools (scraping, compression, delivery) and feed the winners straight into the roadmap.
• Prioritise by ROI, select options with the best business-value vs complexity/time ratio to optimise unit cost and time-to-value.

Technical Face & Social Proof:
• Position Hub as an industry leader: publish Linkedin/Twitter articles, research notes, videos and talks.
• Amplify Hub's current credibility, draw on your A-player track record and network to bring in senior talent, strategic partners and additional investors.
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for investors: join advanced VC calls, run deep-dives, provide concise DD tech packs

Compliance & Security:
• Guarantee GDPR/CCPA compliance and data protection across Hub's global residential-IP network.
• Embed security-by-design: audits, continuous pen-testing, threat-modelling, documented DR plans.
• Run regular DR drills and keep the continuity plan fully tested and current.
