Job title: Chief Technology Officer

Who are we recruiting for?

We are partnering with a high-growth, venture-backed energy-tech scaleup that is revolutionising how energy markets operate across Europe. At the cutting edge of AI-driven trading and optimisation, this award-winning company has built one of the most advanced platforms for short-term power trading — and is now poised to scale globally.

Following a recent restructure, the business is seeking a Qualified and strategic Chief Technology Officer to lead the software development organisation and drive the next phase of platform evolution, performance, and scalability. Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, this is a chance to influence the future of energy systems in a role combining high responsibility, rapid growth potential, and true purpose.

What will you be doing?

• Spearheading the company’s software and infrastructure vision, ensuring systems are robust, scalable, and secure in 24/7 mission-critical environments
• Leading multiple engineering teams with a strong focus on automation, system optimisation, and innovation across architecture, DevOps, and deployment
• Building and maintaining a KPI-driven engineering culture that empowers teams to deliver against clear goals and OKRs
• Translating complex business priorities into clear technical roadmaps and measurable deliverables
• Fostering a creative, inspired, and high-ownership engineering environment that attracts and retains top talent

Are you the ideal candidate?

• 10+ years in senior technology leadership, ideally as CTO or VP Engineering in software-first businesses (energy, fintech, trading, or SaaS backgrounds all welcome)
• Deep understanding of cloud-based architecture, real-time systems, or low-latency platforms
• Proven experience setting up KPI frameworks, performance reviews, and tech strategy aligned with commercial goals
• Fluent in English and ideally German, with excellent cross-functional communication skills
• Based in Vienna or open to relocate — this role is hybrid with flexible in-office presence

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive base salary (plus benefits)
• 30 days of annual leave
• Hybrid working + 60 “work from anywhere” days per year
• Free public transport pass, lunch, and snacks
• Optional relocation support for international hires
• Lifelong learning budget and personal development focus
• A vibrant culture with social events, flat hierarchies, and a high-performing, values-driven team
• The chance to build something that matters in the global shift to clean energy
