Codebridge is looking for a CTO to lead our technology — architecture, technology choices, and the technical quality of what we build for clients. We want a leader who can discuss technical decisions with a client’s CTO as an equal and represent our expertise convincingly, and who is a real authority inside the team — someone who motivates and leads by example. AI is deeply embedded in how we work, and we expect our CTO to take it further.
RESPONSIBILITIES * Drive the technology strategy and architectural direction across projects. * Lead the technical side of client conversations and the sales process — talking solutions with the client’s technical leaders, architecture reviews, solution design, pre-sales. * Set and uphold the engineering bar — code quality, testing, architecture, and technical process — and own delivery, so projects ship on time, stay maintainable, and true to the architecture. * Own how we use AI in development — the tools, standards, and practices for building with it well. * Be the main point of technical escalation across projects. * Evaluate and introduce technologies, tools, and practices that improve quality and speed. * Own technical risk: architecture, scalability, security, and technical debt. * Be the technical authority inside the team — set the example and raise the level of the engineers around you.
REQUIREMENTS * 8+ years in commercial software development, several of them in a technical leadership role (Tech Lead / Architect / Engineering Manager / CTO). * Strong software architecture background — able to balance maintainability, flexibility, testability, and time to market with modern architectural patterns. * Solid hands-on experience with Node.js, Python, and .NET, and sound architectural judgment across them. * A track record of making AI a real part of how engineering works, not a side experiment — and of pulling a team up to that level. * Experience with cloud and SaaS/PaaS platforms (AWS, Azure). * The technical depth and communication to discuss solutions with a client’s CTO as an equal and represent our expertise convincingly — including hands-on solution architecture and pre-sales. * A natural authority inside the team — you motivate and lead by example. * Experience owning technical quality across multiple complex, high-value client projects at once. * Ownership and a responsible mindset, focused on outcomes. * Advanced English or higher.
WE OFFER * Technical Ownership: You own the architecture and uphold the technical standards * A Seat at the Table: Direct influence with the founders on where the company goes, not just how it builds * Collaborative Environment: A team that values partnership, creativity, and mutual respect * Flexible Work: Work remotely from the comfort of your home or join us in our modern Kyiv office * Generous Time Off: 20 paid vacation days + 15 sick leave days annually * Professional Growth: Compensation for certifications and learning resources
RECRUITMENT PROCESS * CV Review * Interview with Head of HR * Interview with Founders * Job Offer
