Technical leadership, full-time
Full-time CTO
A permanent CTO takes responsibility for technology and the team. The role needs enough time and authority to see decisions through and deal with their consequences.
I consider individual full-time opportunities. This page isn't a statement that I'm available for hire.
When this fits
The company needs a technical leader who stays responsible as the business and team develop.
- One executive needs to own technical direction and how reliably the team ships.
- People need to know who resolves disagreements across product, engineering, risk and business.
- The company wants to build its own technical organization that can work without ongoing outside help.
- The role has enough authority and time to change how the company makes decisions.
What the role covers
We agree on the scope separately. These are possible responsibilities, not a list one person must take on all at once.
- Technical direction and how the company makes technical decisions.
- Leading engineering and keeping delivery on track, including trade-offs with the business.
- Product and AI risks that need technical judgment.
- Responsibility for reliability and security, including what leaders do after an incident.
Experience you can review
I describe my role and decisions in the public record. Results appear only where I have permission to share them.
- Cases explain individual decisions and the limits of each result.
- The About page covers how I work and where my responsibility stops.
- The one-page Executive Profile gives public career context for a full-time role.
How we discuss the role
I'm selective about full-time roles. We need to agree on the work and authority before taking the conversation further.
- Describe the responsibilities, decision rights, reporting line and where you expect the CTO to work.
- Explain why the company needs a permanent technical leader now.
- Use the profile and cases to prepare. Then we'll discuss whether the role works for both of us.
