Chief Technology Officer - Remote

Da remoto: Remoto

About Valueize
We are a young, ambitious startup in the SaaS industry, founded by seasoned professionals. We strongly believe in our vision of creating a transformative platform that connects companies and investors seamlessly, enabling smarter and more successful financial partnerships.

What we are looking for
We’re seeking someone who doesn’t just complete tasks but strives to make a difference across the organization. We don’t need executors – we need individuals who approach their role with the mindset of a cofounder: someone who takes initiative, thinks strategically, and makes decisions with the long-term success of the company in mind. From day one, you should feel part of the mission, owning the project and contributing to its success as if it were your own.

The success of a startup depends 90% on its people: those who are motivated, results-driven, ready to invest their energy, and take ownership as true partners in our mission. If this sounds like you, then you are exactly who we’re looking for.

While technical skills are important, what truly matters is:

1. Hunger: the drive to grow, learn, and become a key player within the startup.
2. Ambition: aiming high, refusing to settle for mediocrity, and wanting to build something meaningful.
3. Curiosity: the desire to explore new solutions, challenge the status quo, and innovate.
4. Determination: the resilience to tackle challenges head-on, even when the journey gets tough.

Not fit clarification
We are deeply committed to sharing our success with those who prove to be indispensable to our organization. If your primary motivation is financial gain without aligning with our mission and values, this role may not be the best fit. We prioritize individuals who are passionate about contributing meaningfully to our shared success. We’re looking for builders, not task executors.

Joining a startup means stepping outside of your comfort zone:
You’ll face challenges that demand critical thinking and initiative, such as identifying new market opportunities, developing creative solutions to complex problems, and adapting strategies in a fast-paced environment. The time and energy you commit will be crucial not just for the success of the project but for your own growth. The journey is intense, but the rewards – financial, professional, and personal – are proportional to the effort and value you bring.

What we offer
By joining our startup, you’ll gain:

1. A young and meritocratic environment: we reward attitude and merit through clear benchmarks such as project outcomes, peer recognition, and leadership initiatives, with no room for complacency.
2. Opportunities for personal and professional growth: the chance to become a key figure with visibility.
3. Full remote work: flexibility, but with a level of commitment that demands responsibility and dedication.
4. An ambitious project: a disruptive product we wholeheartedly believe in and are heavily investing in.
5. A share in the success: we are open to rewarding key contributors with equity, ensuring they benefit directly from the value they help create.

Together, let’s build something extraordinary. Are you ready to take ownership and make a difference?
