Jobbeschreibung

At Journal Technologies, we believe our technology can be a force for good in the world ensuring the proper and efficient functioning of some of the most foundational aspects of society - the courts and justice system.

We create and implement enterprise software that supports the administration of justice, currently in the United States, Canada, and Australia. While our eSeries product suite enables governments and their employees to deliver continued foundational court processes, our R&D focuses on leveraging emerging possibilities with technology to improve access and efficiency.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, Journal Technologies is a long-time, wholly-owned subsidiary of Daily Journal Corporation (NASDAQ: DJCO). We also have a major office in Logan, Utah, a team in Melbourne, Australia, an office in Victoria, Canada and a growing number of remote staff across North America.

Under our next generation of leadership, we're implementing a vision for the company that prioritizes building an extraordinary workplace with empowered people at the heart of our business. Great people want to collaborate with great people, and we are actively looking for smart, motivated people who care deeply about the work they do.

The Chief Technology Officer leads technology strategy, architecture, product development, and engineering across Journal Technologies. This leader sets and champions the technical vision, brings strong product and engineering thinking to every initiative, and ensures the company's platforms remain secure, reliable, and positioned for growth. The CTO works cross-functionally with every department and plays a central role in building out the new technology team described above, helping recruit talent and shape how new ideas are evaluated, developed, and scaled.

• Develop and lead a multi-year technology vision and roadmap aligned with the long-term goals of Journal Technologies and drive it across the organization.
• Bring a customer-centric, problem-first approach to product development, ensuring teams deeply understand user needs before committing to solutions.
• Identify emerging technologies and market opportunities that strengthen existing products and open new areas of value for the company.
• Advise executive leadership on technology investments, build-versus-buy decisions, and potential acquisitions or partnerships.
• Define architectural vision and principles, ensuring systems are configurable, repeatable, scalable, secure, appropriately modular, and engineered to upgrade and evolve over time.
• Apply platform thinking by promoting reusable services, APIs, and shared components that serve multiple products and business units.
• Own the modernization of the Company's technology portfolio, balancing investment in existing platforms with technical debt, modernization, consolidation, and next-generation capabilities.
• Lead the engineering organization with a culture grounded in ownership, craftsmanship, continuous improvement, and pragmatic decision-making.
• Maintain and advance modern engineering practices, balancing speed of delivery with quality, reliability, and security.
• Support our organization-wide transition to Agile methodologies and Scrum-at-Scale.
• Serve as a true partner to other departments, building alignment on priorities, timelines, and resources across the organization.
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear business terms for non-technical stakeholders, and bring business context back to technical teams.
• Build, lead, and develop a high-performing technology organization, including organizational design, leadership development, succession planning, workforce strategy, and recruitment of critical technical capabilities needed for the Company's future.
• Ensure appropriate standards for security, privacy, compliance, and data governance, including requirements common to courts, government agencies, and criminal justice systems (such as CJIS).
• Oversee technology investment, performance, and operational resilience, ensuring resources are aligned with priorities and systems remain reliable, scalable, and prepared for business continuity.
• Establish effective technology governance and risk management, partnering with Security, Cloud Operations, IT, Legal, and business leaders to manage architectural, cybersecurity, regulatory, and third-party technology risks.
